As the U.S. gov moves towards selectively revoking research grants and cutting federal research jobs, the scientific community is left asking: What can we do, and are these actions even constitutional? Our latest featuring @fancycomma.bsky.social www.theexperimentalist.org/sci-comm/how...

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE. Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.   Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

I'm asking YOU: What will a doubling of health care premiums mean for your family? What it will mean if you're one of the 15 million being thrown off their health care? Please comment below or submit a story here: tinyurl.com/3rbdfdmz

This Election Day may seem unimportant because there are no “big” offices on the ballot but many states hold their nonpartisan municipal elections in off years. Races for city council, school boards, county judgeships are VITALLY important to the day to day functions of your community! Participate!

Once upon a Fat Bear Week 🐻💤… The salmon were plenty, the bellies were round, and the bears tucked themselves in for a long winter’s nap. May your night be just as cozy, your dreams just as sweet, and your tomorrow just as full. ✨ #FatBearWeek #GoodNight

In day 2 of being on this site, I have decided it is cool. Happy weekend, everyone! Be the positive change you wish to see in the world.

Dreamers are doctors, teachers, firefighters and so much more. They’ve built their lives here with the protections of DACA, but Trump doesn’t care. His rogue DHS is detaining and terrorizing Dreamers — a backdoor attempt to quietly kill DACA. We will not stand for it.

There's so much Supreme Court news to keep up with right now. It feels like the more I learn, the less I really understand!

It's always interesting to see how staffers characterize their own bosses! It can often be quite telling.

Vaccines work. Period.

Gotta love beavs 🦫

I got to see a cool #science thing and now I get to tell you about it*: Not obvious from the article is that I got to HOLD one of Franklin's original prints of the X-ray diffraction pattern of DNA. My job rocks at times. #chemistry @cenmag.bsky.social #chemsky cen.acs.org/biological-c...

What we need now is what we never had in the pandemic: a unified voice that can address these arguments in an evidence-based way, but in a way that acknowledges vaccine skepticism and hesitancy and seeks to create an inclusive dialogue with everyone despite rising vaccine reluctance. #SciComm

Fentanyl is 100x stronger than morphine and it's reshaping the public health landscape. In a new #LabNotes episode, dive into the neuroscience of addiction and the human stories behind the crisis: alleninstitute.org/news/lab-not...

We published this on the @fancycomma.bsky.social blog and it feels very true right now, as it has always been, in my experience. Read: fancycomma.com/2025/06/07/f... #SciComm #SciPol

Anyone know how long the #NASA Grants Status site has been "under maintenance" and when it might be back online? #ResearchAdmin #ResearchDevelopment www.nasa.gov/forms/grant-...

A “National Weather Service” for public health 🌡️📊— real-time data at your fingertips. ✨Sounds brilliant, right?✨ Too bad this Admin shelved it. So much for their "transparency" 🙄 Shelving data doesn’t stop disease. It just keeps the public in the dark. 🫠
