SeizingPsych is $225 from a $10k goal to expand programming for families with mental illness. The Triple 9 Challenge commemorates 9yrs of SeizingPsych and my 9th marathon the day before I graduated from 9yrs of MD/PhD training! Help us cross the finish line @ give.seizingpsych.com/Triple9Match

What’s new in the world of sperm epigenetics? Rather than examining specific sncRNA, we modeled changes across RNA types and found an amazing coordination! Biologically, this makes sense that broader changes responding to the environment would be able to interact with all sncRNAs, not just a few.🤩

The United States now has the most government restrictions on academic freedom of any high-income country. www.chemistryworld.com/news/academi... Raw data from @vdeminstitute.bsky.social —> academic-freedom-index.net/research/Aca...

I have the pleasure of introducing the board of SeizingPsych - meet Kristan Kanyuch, Co-Founder & Executive Director. As a caregiver who has navigated her son’s schizophrenia diagnosis and recovery, Kristan leads with lived experience, so families never have to face mental illness alone.

Lots of people asking about who has co-sponsored the articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. w/ @rephaleystevens.bsky.social. The answer is Rep. Eric Swalwell. This is why we need people power NOW. Sign the petition & call your rep asking them to co-sponsor: www.standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

Caregiving is a powerful act of love, but you can’t pour from an empty cup. Check out our resource of the week diving into practical for caregivers to combat burnout and activate your body’s ability to recharge. Remember: #selfcare isn't selfish; it’s maintenance.

Caregivers caring for those living with mental illness need care too. 1/5 caregivers spend >40h per week JUST caring for their loved one. Hear more from SeizingPsych co-founder and help us raise $2,600 in 26 days to support caregiver mental wellness! 💙 Donate at give.seizingpsych.com/2026care

Very proud of Dr Tracy Bale’s @thebalelab.bsky.social induction into the National Academy of Medicine yesterday evening! A brilliant impactful scientist, a champion of women, and a tireless advocate for global neuroscience at @ibroorg.bsky.social! Congratulations!

The fight continues! Join us in DC on November 5th to deliver thousands of petition signatures to Congress calling for RFK "The Quack" Jr. to be impeached! 🐥 ❌ 📣 🚨 911 March for Health and Science! ⏰ November 5th, 4pm ET 📍From the National Mall to the House of Representatives 🔗 zurl.co/fapcS

I collaborated w Emory, Spelman & Morehouse folks on this AJC op-ed: "Rather than investing in the future of U.S. science, our government is eliminating successful programs, using DEI as a scapegoat." #StandUpForScience #FundScience #ScienceIsForEveryone www.ajc.com/opinion/2025...

Denver #NOKINGS was in full force today! Thanks to so many who kept us busy at the Colorado @standupforscience.bsky.social table by stopping by to support science, sign up for the Colorado Local, and play with ooblek and microscopes! Science and health is for ALL of us!

And we're back at the bench 😍

JOIN THE FIGHT! As HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya are trying to legitimize a vision for American science and health research that bulldozes lives and livelihoods, we are putting people impacted by their quackery FRONT AND CENTER. HEALTH AND SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE ‼️

Community engagement event for #BrainFest in Denver #Headstrong is a twist on #WomensBrainHealth across the lifespan using comedy! Denver's top women comedians paired with @cuanschutz.bsky.social top women scientists for an incredible show. If you're in the area Sept 5, come laugh your stress off!

I called out the FEMA Administrator last month about his, Trump's, and FEMA's failures to respond to disasters like floods and hurricanes. Now FEMA employees themselves are confirming what we know — that our communities will face deadly consequences if we don't change course.

Trump appointed a FEMA Administrator who didn’t know there was a hurricane season and now he’s dismantling the agency. It’s a disaster in the making. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The same Trump administration that wants to abolish FEMA is decimating disaster response and openly ignoring lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina that get help to people in need after natural disasters. Republicans must join us in pushing for answers and accountability ASAP.

“From citing non-existent studies generated by the FDA’s AI tool ‘Elsa’ to mischaracterizing real research on the COVID-19 vaccine, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly spread false claims” In fact, RFK has screwed us so often, @standupforscience.bsky.social struggled to restrict its list to 9!

The Supporting Healthy Moms and Babies Act would end out-of-pocket costs for prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care—meaning no copays, deductibles, or cost barriers to essential maternal care. Families shouldn’t have to suffer financially to grow. Ask Congress to support families: bit.ly/4nQOzcW
