Last week, I was fired in retaliation for confronting DOGE staff in 2025. Today, I launch my campaign for U.S. Congress in Maryland’s 6th district. Marylanders show enormous bravery in defense of our communities. #MD06 deserves a Rep as brave as its residents. secure.actblue.com/donate/alexi...

Day 2 of Operation: Friendly Neighborhood scientist! #scicomm Miles walked: 5+ People chatted with: 2 (Long amazing chats!) Drinks Drank: “straight from the fridge” hibiscus tea! Oh boy, those were amazing some in-depth talks! Each one was about one lap of Greenlake each! Sign of the day:

Great opportunity for my #scicomm friends!!

Proud of Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid for leading the charge to repeal Illinois’ anti-BDS law. As the only Palestinian American serving in the Illinois General Assembly, he has shown real courage in taking on attacks to our fundamental freedoms. We’re in this fight with him.

We absolutely must not let this pass:

Operation: “friendly Neighborhood scientist” is a GO! #scicomm Miles walked: 2.9 People who chatted: 5 Drinks drank: hot cocoa Sign of the day:

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

#TBT to March 7th 2025! This March 7th we are going bigger and better and need you to help fuel the fight for science. If you would like to donate, visit: standupforscience.net/donate Thank you! Were you at the previous march? Will you be rallying for March 7th this year? Comment down below!

I’m very proud of the little animation I made for my Scicomm logo! Learning a new medium is tough but with it! (Gearing up for more artsy science work!) #scicomm

Meanwhile climate scientists and activists will be holding a funeral.

Kristi Noem is a total disaster. With 187 cosponsors already on board, it's time for coward Mike Johnson & Congress to finish the job: IMPEACH HER NOW! Join the fight:

Please call the Senate they will vote very soon on whether to allow dangerous sulfide-ore copper mining on the edges of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Tell them to vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140 (H.J. Res. 140).

I’ve started a patreon! Come support a friendly science communicator!

Yesterday marked Stand Up For Science's first birthday! We want to keep fighting for science for years to come, but that comes at a cost. If you would like to make a birthday donation, please visit this link: standupforscience.net/donate Thank you for helping us Stand Up For Science!

First blog post of 2026! I’m tackling a topic close to my heart&gut; celiac disease! 🌾 Link in my bio! #scicomm #science #scienceblog #sciencecommunication #blog gettingthesciencewrite.com/Celiacs-in-F...

Please consider becoming a supporter of my climate communication work on Patreon. Last year, I lost most of my income after clients pulled their funding from climate media projects. I've been slowly making it back up with paid Substack subscriptions, but I know not everyone has that platform.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

We shouldn't write off Peter Thiel comparing Greta Thunberg to the Antichrist because targeting climate scientists and activists will likely be in the upcoming chapters of this fascist regime. We stand in direct opposition to their plays to ramp up fossil fuel and beef production.

Gotta keep going 🐟🦈 #art #sharks #fish

The Trump administration is moving forward with plans that could dramatically shrink the FEMA, according to court filings. In documents submitted late Tuesday, groups warned that the Department of Homeland Security (which oversees FEMA) may cut more than 10,000 agency jobs which is 50% of staff.

We can't believe we have to say this, but POLIO IS REALLY BAD. RFK Jr.'s "independent" "expert" ACIP is destroying the foundations of our public health system. It cannot be clearer: if we want to save lives, we have to #RemoveRFKJr. Take action now: standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

Three reasons out of many to #SaveNCAR. NCAR keeps us informed for extreme weather — and when we are informed, we can prepare. Defunding NCAR leaves us all stranded when it matters the most. It takes 30 secs to take action to #SaveNCAR. Send an email to our elected officials at tr.ee/save-ncar 📲📧

New #sciencevideo uploaded! This is my step-by-step process on how I go through scientific papers. This is intended to be very helpful for those who follow along with my Journal Club videos and who don’t have a lot of experience with academic articles. youtu.be/ryRbbaApvv0

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

This is Alex Pretti. This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE. #ScientistsAgainstICE

Yesterday, over 30,000 people protested against ICE in below-zero temperatures. Amazing work, everyone. Minnesota strong. Tomorrow, there will be more of us.
