Science is under siege

Impeach Trump

Providing critical health information is one of its main functions. #publichealthbalckout #scienceunderseige

Springsteen’s not just Born to Run—he’s born to speak truth. Total badass move including those remarks on the EP. We need everyone, famous or not, to call out injustice, stand up, and speak truth to power. Silence is complicity.

I've never seen "running government like a business is bad, actually" illustrated as plainly and clearly as this:

This is brilliant. Let’s do it!

About 90% of the Venezuelans deported to El Salvador had no criminal record in the US, according to a review of records by Bloomberg News. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

T Big leap in diagnostic AI: AMIE outperforms physicians on many fronts. But before robots replace doctors, two questions: Who carries the legal risk if AI gets it wrong? Will patients ever feel truly cared for without a human in the loop?

We absolutely should communicate public wins, but not everything needs a podium and press conference. Real leadership is knowing when to speak and when to let the work speak for itself. Would love to see both parties find that balance between silent competence and performative governance.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Well now you know why we don't hire mediocre white men just to fill a quota.

On this day, when my two countries, the one I was born in & gave me education, culture & identity & the one that generously adopted me & gave me career, science & impact in the world, struggle with their democracies, I find solace & strength in the humans around me, family, friends, colleagues.

"It’s very challenging to maintain my focus on science when...a small group of people without an electoral mandate are trying to destroy the public-private partnership that has made the U.S. biomedical system the envy of the world, and why so many people from around the world come here to get care"

Thank you #AHA for this timely advocacy for the NIH. It would nice to see a correapk d in g d unwnt from the #ATS advocacy group.

The only semipluasinle articulati ok n of Trumps foreign Policy comes from Scottish Historian Nialls Ferguson. It's worth a listen. open.substack.com/pub/samharri...

Overwhelmed by the daily political chaos? Take a step back—way back. The Universe podcast with John Green and Dr. Katie Mack is pure escapism, zooming out from earthly noise to the vast, mind-bending wonders of the cosmos. A little perspective never hurts. #LookUp podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Scientists?

Cod liver oil injections?!

Love this.

A new study in JAMA Network Open reveals that women with a history of gestational diabetes (GD) who experience short sleep duration (≤6 hours) or frequent snoring face a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Better sleep = Better metabolic health! #SleepHealth #DiabetesPrevention

Charles Darwin, in The Descent of Man, observed that cooperation, compassion, and social bonds were evolutionary advantages, helping humans care for the sick, protect the vulnerable, and build strong communities—essential elements of long-term success.

I have warned about the rightwing attack on empathy. It is as dangerous as any attack on democracy. It will accelerate in Musks’ hands. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Last night, Trump delivered an EPIC 99-minute speech without a single fact—a new world record! Republicans are calling it a “masterclass in alternative reality.” Meanwhile, Democrats fumbled their response by accidentally including facts. www.borowitzreport.com/p/trump-sets...

Republicans Prescribe Medicaid Cuts—Which is Malpractice. Where is the ‘Evidence-Based Medicine’ in Their Budget Proposal? open.substack.com/pub/klaryagg...

Tesla owners are now hilariously rebranding their cars with emblems from other automakers to ruffle Elon Musk's feathers! Is this playful trolling or an epic rebellion? What emblem would YOU slap on a Tesla? Let the creative chaos begin! #TeslaTrolling #BadgeSwap www.tiktok.com/t/ZT29g41R8/

That's it, enough of this bullshit. I'm gonna get a kilt. Freedom!!!!

Party on, Wayne! Party on, Garth! But sorry, Canada is NOT for sale, eh! Mike Myers bringing his Great White North pride to SNL.

Let’s be clear, this isn’t about better service, this is about power consolidation and funneling taxpayer dollars into the pocket of a blionaire. If transparency and fairness still meant anything in Washington, this deal would be frozen immediately. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... House Republicans are eyeing major Medicaid cuts, threatening coverage for millions. Slashing federal support won’t just hurt the most vulnerable—it’ll shift costs to states and hospitals, creating chaos in the system. #Medicaid #HealthPolicy

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/u.... Today marks the end of an era in American science and public health leadership. Dr. Collins was a steady, trusted voice who could bridge divides and advocate for science with clarity and conviction.
