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

Caring for someone with mental illness can be exhausting, isolating, and often invisible. 💚 To start 2026 & #MentalWellnessMonth, we’re raising $2.6K in 26 days to expand programs for these caregivers! Help give the support they deserve at give.seizingpsych.com/2026care

If 2025 was huge in the SeizingPsych world supporting families living with mental illness... 2026 will be enormous! Thanks to all who made this possible!

Merry Christmas from our team! The holiday spirit cannot be captured in any box or bag-it is in you and the hope you inspire empowering those living with mental illness. We look forward to the change we will make together in 2026! To make a difference today, give @ give.seizingpsych.com/HopeForAll!

I have a very bad feeling about this...

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!

#A_NewHope ✊

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!

so.... NIH issued a news item clarifying the new use of animals policy. It seems that the bottom line is that NIH will not issue NoFOs specifically about creation or use of animal models of disease. 1/2 grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

56 years ago, Armstrong took man’s first step on the moon. Today, NASA employees step up to defend NASA’s legacy - a legacy under attack from political interference, mass layoffs, and pushes to privatize public science. (3/4)

From mission shutdowns to safety risks, NASA employees list 7 statements of dissent, revealing the damage Trump’s agenda is doing to NASA. 🛰️ Science cuts 🧑‍🚀 Staff reductions 🌍 Canceled collaborations 🚀 Abandoned missions & more. This is the dismantling of an American legacy. (2/4)

🚨BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 🚀 the Voyager Declaration has LAUNCHED. NASA employees join a growing rebellion against Trump’s anti-science, anti-American agenda. 🧵(1/4)

Thankful for the last week - hiking, trail running, spending time with @lunarmath.bsky.social and Brandy the husky, writing, and hosting Science & Art Night in the community 🥰 It's hard to believe that I start my first acting internship tomorrow! 🤯

Update on funding curves and late non-competitive renewals. First, funding curves for new and competitive renewals. 1/n

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

🚨URGENT RESPONSE CALL. FLOOD THE ZONE 🚨 The House CJS Subcommittee IS CURRENTLY marking up the FY26 budget, incl. NSF. Since 1950, NSF has been advancing science, health, & more. Tell Chairman Rogers: Don’t gut 75 years of progress. We demand NO CUTS to NSF. & watch the livestream: zurl.co/zScND

New analysis shows Trump's budget would slash basic science research by roughly 34 percent. The disastrous budget “would essentially end America’s longstanding role as the world leader in science,” warns the Association of American Universities. zurl.co/Sy7dI #CutsCostLives #StandUpForScience

Workers are being investigated & on leave for sending an email to their boss. This government has disdain for everyday working people. Please consider signing as an individual, organization, or union, to show solidarity with your fellow workers who want to serve and keep us safe.

H.R. 1 moves us in the wrong direction, threatening patient health and weakening care infrastructure. It undermines Medicaid, and the ACA, and could force millions to choose between essential care and basic needs. Congress should protect access, not cut programs families rely on. bit.ly/3TnJcnO

Today, 139 EPA employees were placed on administrative leave for signing an email sent to their boss about concerns at their federal agency. This is America, now. I have always said that @standupforscience.bsky.social is about science AND DEMOCRACY. Here it is, in action. WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🧵

Better yet, double your support. Do you lead an organization, professional society, for-profit business, or nonprofit? Your organization can endorse the EPA #DeclarationofDissent. If you are a leader, please stand up for these essential staffers. @standupforscience.bsky.social

Today was my last day of clerkship year. Instead of saying all the things, I will ask you to help us continue to care for patients: 1.Call your reps 2.Sign the Bethesda Declaration 3.Sign the EPA Declaration of Dissent Here! www.standupforscience.net/epa-declarat... @standupforscience.bsky.social
