STRIPED team member Ariel Beccia presented a poster on our advocacy work to re-include items assessing eating disorders into the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) at #SER2025 last week! @societyforepi.bsky.social @hsph.harvard.edu @albeccia.bsky.social

What does 18,000+ brave signatories look like standing together in massive solidarity with the #NIH heroes of the historic Bethesda Declaration??... Find out by adding YOUR NAME to our #NIHLove letter here! - actionnetwork.org/forms/add-na... #StandUpForScience #BethesdaDeclaration #StopTrump

Met @albeccia.bsky.social at #SER2025 and heard a story of persistence in lobbying for a public health database to include important questions — work that has been threatened by the current administration

Thanks to @theresagaff.bsky.social for highlighting the devastating impact that terminated #eatingdisorder grants will have on Americans - including our work on LGBTQ-affirmative therapy for EDs @ajblashill.bsky.social

eating disorder research was already so severely underfunded - 7 terminated grants is devastating to our field!

Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental health conditions & they often become chronic. Yet Trump’s HHS is cutting eating disorder research & the MAHA report doesn’t mention them. This isn’t just suppressing science - it’s a decision that will cost lives. www.statnews.com/2025/06/03/e...

STRIPED’s Ariel Beccia speaks out in Theresa Gaffney’s new STAT piece on how eating disorder research is being gutted under the Trump admin. $2.7M in NIH grants already cut. Read more: www.statnews.com/2025/06/03/e... @hsph.harvard.edu @albeccia.bsky.social @statnews.com

Honored to share that Dr. Bryn Austin has received the Leadership Award for Mentorship from the Academy for Eating Disorders. Deepest thanks to the colleagues and mentees who made this recognition possible. #ICED2025 @hsph.harvard.edu @albeccia.bsky.social

Honored to receive awards for two STRIPED projects from the AED Epidemiology & Public Health Practice SIG at ICED 2025! Thanks to the SIG for this recognition. Presented by Chloe Gao & Bryn Austin at #ICED2025. @hsph.harvard.edu @albeccia.bsky.social

NSF is undergoing a massive shake-up: over 80 senior staff cut, remote work banned, the equity-in-STEM division eliminated, and hundreds of research grants scrapped. This isn’t budget efficiency—it’s a direct attack on U.S. science, education, and equity. www.eenews.net/articles/nsf...

The STRIPED team is on Capitol Hill for the Eating Disorders Coalition’s Advocacy Day, helping advance the recognition of eating disorders as a public health priority across the U.S. @hsph.harvard.edu @albeccia.bsky.social

🙏 We need your help 🙏 The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like. We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net

🚨 Breaking: The NSF director just announced how the agency and DOGE intends to terminate active grants: "Research projects with more narrow impact limited to subgroups of people based on protected class or characteristics do not effectuate NSF priorities." www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

On it. Report your terminated NSF grant here: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... And spread the word. We'll have a database up once we build out the back end and receive submissions. All credit to @noamross.net for standing this up so quickly.

🧪 Today, NSF disbanded its advisory committees of external experts, leaving only the ones mandated by law. This is a move towards using less input from the broader scientific community to drive NSF's strategic direction. www.nsf.gov/executive-or...

🧵 You might have seen a post urging you to donate to Harvard, a wealthy university that needs no financial reward for doing the bare minimum. Instead, I'd like to tell you about some organizations that are working to protect academic freedom and at-risk scholars and deserve your support 1

If you want something to do but don’t have time to rescue data or clean metadata, this is what we mean by speak out. Tell them why public data matters.

The grim commonalities between Germany in the 1930s and the USA in the 2020s #QueerData

sounds familiar

It’s almost like it’s not about antisemitism

The Trump Administration is trying to get rid of an entire set of people and institutions. This is more than an attack on individual agencies. All autocracies do this. And the effects of this purge will be profound and long lasting. My latest for the Nation. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

#ICYMI folks w/deep experience re:crisis web archiving (@sucho-org.bsky.social)+building tools for it (@webrecorder.net) made a free zine teaching how anyone can archive the things you love on the web before they go away: zinebakery.com/homemade-zin... & why you shouldn't expect others will do so

The White House just removed the only public database showing how federal dollars are approved for spending - despite a law requiring it. We’ve lost a key tool for transparency and oversight.

Today higher ed workers, students, and communities are standing up to demand our elected leaders Kill The Cuts! Federal funding is critical for research and education that benefits us all. Here's a thread of action photos! Starting with this rally currently happening in LA:

for those who may need it: you can search for specific ABCD Study variables names here, and then click on the file name to bring you to a data dictionary of sorts. an OK workaround for now!

A great (ongoing) thread of how pushback IS working:

does anyone happen to have a saved copy of the #ABCDStudy data dictionary? #episky #medsky #neurosky

🚨HEY DORKS! PROTEST ALERT🚨 Kill The Cuts National Day of Action is Tomorrow, Tuesday April 8th! Find an action near you: www.killthecuts.org/action-near-... Stand Up for lifesaving research, healthcare, and education! @aaup.bsky.social @higheredlabor.bsky.social #standupforscience #killthecuts

Boston was out in full force today ✊🏼

Every single photo in this thread should give you HOPE.

Same and same in Boston! ❤️👊💪

loving all the #Handsoff posts, especially the small town ones!

New post on restricted access data. We've some calls for people to go rogue, but there are reasons not to and better ways to use your time. #DataRescue TL;DR version: SPEAK OUT www.datarescueproject.org/restricted-a...

Today is the day to get involved. Get involved w local politics - in NYC volunteer for Zohran. Get involved/ start orgs in defense of public institutions -- like libraries or post offices. Volunteer at community pantries. Participate in Know Your Rights trainings! There's so much we can do!

Boston! #Handsoff

Incredible turnout at the #HandsOff rally in Boston

Boston turned out this morning despite the rain ❤️💪 #HandsOff

We are saving as much public data as we can. The other thing you can do is speak out. Tell everyone you know about what is happening (here, IRL, everywhere). We need people to know the consequences of these actions.

I'm on a listserv to receive weekly funding opportunities from the #NIH, which is usually long and descriptive. This is what it says now. I've NEVER seen it like this before. #SaveOurScience

The bloodbaths at IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) and NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) show that Musk's DOGE has NOTHING TO DO WITH SAVING $. IMLS budget: $295M NEH budget: $211M These are tiny drops in the federal spending bucket. This is about ideological control.

Really helpful, practical article on 5 tips if your federal grant is terminated. Summarizes from a AAAS webinar that had 2,000+ attendees. Appreciate that it has lots of links for specific agencies too!

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵

HEY DORKS, GET YOUR SIGNS READY! *Two* upcoming opportunities to Stand Up for Science, together. 🚨TOMORROW APRIL 5TH🚨 In partnership with @indivisible.org we say: HANDS OFF OUR SCIENCE Find an event near you and register here: handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s... #standupforscience #handsoff

A post from fellow researcher. I hate this administration so much. #SaveOurScience

Trump and Musk are demanding NIH cut 35% of contracts. That will devastate NIH science and grant funding — many of the contracts support people doing extramural work, or extramural/grant databases. Moreover, the number is bullshit. They just made it up. There is no need—and in fact, it's illegal.

🔍💔 Take a look at @bostonglobe.com spotlight on our Center's funding cuts Ironically, went online Wed during @hsph.harvard.edu's media retreat session & printed in Sun paper Props to @rickberke.bsky.social for nudge to share, but (for once) I was step ahead 👉 hsph.me/lgbtq-Globe-... #MedSky

✨ some positive public health news ✨ ... after nearly five years of advocacy to get eating disorder items into the YRBS, I'm so so proud to share our team's work analyzing the first wave of data coming out of Arizona. a🧵!!

After spending 24 hours on his feet to break the filibuster record, @booker.senate.gov kept going with an impassioned speech about the importance of funding scientific research. Thank you! 🙏
