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!

It’s wild how much change is possible in this life. From relearning to talk post-TBI, to full blown heroin addiction, to a life beyond anything I could have imagined. Im very fortunate to not only be alive, but to have been selected to speak at 2025 TEDxBoulder!

✊ Sign your support for all three here⬇️ NASA: actionnetwork.org/forms/suppor... EPA: act.standupforscience.net/forms/epa-ad... NIH: act.standupforscience.net/forms/add-na...

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/...

Houston, we have a problem. And NASA staff are blowing the whistle! Support NASA staff in their formal dissent to Interim Administrator Duffy ✊ You can read the Voyager Declaration and sign your support here: standupforscience.net/nasa-voyager...

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

🧪Monday starts with a bang. Recently, #NIH staff spoke up against J. Bhattacharya by penning the #BethesdaDeclaration. This morning, EPA workers sent a Declaration of Dissent to the new head. Why should we stay quiet? #StandupforScience Bravo!

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 At 7:59am, Zeldin - Trump crony and head of EPA - received the Declaration of Dissent from EPA workers. Workers are uniting against political interference, censorship & rollbacks at EPA under Zeldin’s leadership. Someone’s week is off to a bad start. (1/5)

WE LOVE TO RUIN A TRUMP APPOINTEE'S WEEK! Go add your name to the support list and stand up with EPA employees who are speaking out against Administer Zeldin! #standupforscience

This week I had the privilege to join our federal CO officials, including Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper at the Capital to discuss and learn how to contribute to the changes we need. Thank you to the CO Capital Conference for this opportunity and the generosity that allowed me to be in DC!

T-1 clinic of clerkship yr left. T+ another pile of postcards to mail on behalf of people concerned about the state of science, health, and well, the entire state of the union. Standing up for our patients one clinic, one postcard, one rally, one workshop, one collaboration at a time. It adds up.

AMERICA:

This week, I’ve seen colleagues serve on NIH study section, doing their job diligently, submit papers, mentor students, serve on university committees, be excited about the science at conferences. Despite all the uncertainties and chaos. Don’t know what’s ahead but you can’t break spirits so easily.

Out in the community learning about bees and planting seeds of sunflowers and unity at our @sciforgood.bsky.social Flowers for the Future event!

One of the most spectacular tricks that the “wellness” grift has managed to pull off is convincing people that their industry is untainted by money. That they are all doing it out of their deep concern for their customers’ health. Yet the global supplement industry alone is worth $177 billion.

Speeding up eradication of LGBTQ youth. This is cruelty beyond words.

Sooo I got another one 🥹

"These leaders don't want to participate in the dismantling of the agency they value," the former senior FEMA official said. "They have been dedicated to the mission over multiple administrations but won't support the current administration's direction." zurl.co/5p3mi

FUCK! IRS needs to scream.
