So basically RFK Jr’s antivax ACIP were unable to make any big changes to vaccine access because they were too incompetent. We should all take this as a win I guess…

Yessss! They started delivering the Quack-O-Grams and IT IS AMAZING! There's still time to send more! www.standupforscience.net/quack-o-grams #ImpeachTheQuack

Sigh. This is disappointing, but not surprising. Please share peer reviewed work of life-saving DEI research so we can correct this misconception!

24 hours of scientists, researchers, and advocates discussing how far we've come in HIV/AIDS research — and what's at stake if they lose their funding. Tomorrow. Join them‼️👇 #saveaidsresearch

There are not enough ducks in the world...but every duck helps! Send a quack-o-gram today! #StandUpforScience 🧪 #RemovetheQuack 🦆 www.standupforscience.net/quack-o-grams

In Florida alone, a 15% decline in vaccinations against measles over 25 years would lead to 1 million measles cases. www.cnn.com/2025/09/09/h...

Director Bhattacharya says there are no banned words at the NIH. The data suggest otherwise.

“In the case of The U.S. Supreme Court v. Everyone Else, this court wins by a serious landslide.”

Updating my analysis now that August data should be relatively complete. Not great news... The rate of investment of the appropriation is not increasing and it seems unlikely that the entire appropriation will be committed this year. 1/2

The best $3 you'll ever spend!

‼️UPDATE‼️ Stand Up for Science files whistleblower complaint against the Trump Administration for "blatantly illegal" retaliation against the #FEMA36. STAND WITH #FEMA36. SIGN our letter of support linked in bio. 🔗

THIS is how you write a headline.

A show of bipartisan support for NIH. Basically flat except for ARPA-H. The President’s budget proposal basically ignored (as it should have been).

Long the envy of the world for its capabilities and expertise, the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows. @citizencohn.bsky.social on the CDC purge: www.thebulwark.com/p/kennedy-rf...

Trump’s EPA is continuing its illegal retaliation against employees for telling the truth in defense of our planet and the nation. We stand with these brave employees in their fight against this retaliation. #zeldin #epa #declarationofdissent

RFK Jr. says you shouldn’t get a Covid vaccine. All doctors and research results say you should. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Yes, how dare they speak out on wanting to protect the environment while working for the environment protection agency! 🤯

We've launched a new D.C. campaign demanding that federal agents take off their masks — because public servants should face the public. Our posters and mobile billboard will be blanketing the District, demanding accountability.

THE QUACK HAS GOT TO GO. Send your House Rep a message to Impeach and Remove the Quack by sending a Quack-O-Gram for $3. We will start deliver mid-September! act.standupforscience.net/fundraising/...

Hi! Hello! This is fascism!! Hope that helps!

As we approach the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, please support current & former FEMA employees who have courageously sounded the alarm. Sign and share the Katrina Declaration! A delayed response puts lives at risk - never again! #StandUpForScience #31doa

WARNING WARNING WARNING #ResearchAdmini I am hearing reports of NIH Awards being issued with ~15% indirect cost rate without comment. I believe the hope is that they will be accepted with noticing this.

QUACK ATTACK! 🦆 If you haven't already, be sure to send a Quack-o-Gram (only $3) to your House Rep urging them to #ImpeachTheQuack, RFK Jr. Then encourage 3 others to do the same! LET'S DUCKING GO! #31doa #impeachthequack #DUCKAROUNDANDFINDOUT

In honor of the most recent match SCOTUS took to our democracy, I'd like to share this *preprint* of findings from a survey we conducted to see whose science was getting cancelled. The results will not surprise you papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Here's what this means: it's probably unlawful forPOTUS to stop NIH funds from going to medical research, but POTUS can stop that medical research for a lengthy period of time while the Court of Federal Claims hears lawsuits This, essentially, destroys the capacity for medical research in the US

This was not unexpected, but nonetheless devastating. I have no words right now, other than I am so angry. thehill.com/regulation/c...

LET'S DUCKIN' GO! For only $3, an 'impeach the quack' rubber ducky will be hand-delivered to your House Rep - help send the message that RFK Jr. is dangerous and must be removed! #31DaysOfAction 🚨 #ImpeachTheQuack 🦆 #StandUpforScience 🧪

All the president had to do was not take a wrecking ball to our country's world-class research ecosystem.

Signed the petition yesterday? ✊ Now it's time to share with friends and family! #ImpeachTheQuack 🦆 #31DaysOfAction 🚨 #StandUpForScience 🧪 #SignAndShare ✍️

This Thursday August 21st, from 4:00- 5:00 PM (Bonner Hall, 2130), CaSAS will feature Isabel Mejia (PhD Candidate, UCSD), Paula Avila, M.D. (Postdoctoral Scholar, UCSD), and Manuel Sanchez Alavez, PhD (Senior Staff Scientist, Scripps Institute; Professor, UABC)!

This is the right-wing playbook applied to public health. Break government programs—> “government doesn’t work.” Bhattacharya has spent years working to undermine public health (including vaccines) in the service of the corporate interests the dark money groups boosting him represent.

TONIGHT! @jeremymberg.bsky.social has been an invaluable source of information (including his own analyses on NIH funding on github). And his letters to NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya - 🔥🔥 #31DaysofAction #StandUpForScience

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers. My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers. We found 437 of them. Download it freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

UC alumni can also sign

Judge Young was clear. The termination of hundreds of NIH grants was 'breathtakingly' illegal & downright discriminatory. An appeal to allow the re-termination of grants is now on the emergency docket. Tell #SCOTUS to deny the stay & protect NIH research. Public opinion matters! Please post widely!

1. Federal funding for research promotes tech, biomedical, and scientific discovery in the US, and provides training for the sci/tech workforce that has brought immeasurable wealth to the US over the past 75 years. Today's executive order includes a provision that will obliterate both functions.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya: “Science should not be partisan”. Also NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya: “Every grant that comes into the NIH will be reviewed by a Trump appointee to make sure it fits the MAGA agenda”. Fuck you, Jay!

I have yet to hear a logical, scientific rationale for the cancelation of grants & contracts related to mRNA vaccine development. RFK Jr. is making decisions based on vibes & pseudoscience.

Check out @27unihted.bsky.social’s beautiful new website. 27 UNIHTED is a grassroots effort of NIH alumni and community allies advocating to keep NIH’s mission alive, supporting one another, and mapping out an innovative future for biomedical research.

1/ Last night, RFK Jr. announced the cancellation of $500 million in mRNA vaccine research. This means 22 projects, many in active clinical trials, are just... stopped. RFK Jr. stated the #mRNA "poses more risks than benefits," but that claim is simply not backed by science. 🧵

Training as a marine biologist, I saw firsthand the devastating consequences of climate change & ocean acidification on marine communities. Repealing the Endangerment Finding will profoundly harm the environment & our health! Please leave a comment -sample language in comments. #31DaysofAction

NEW: A federal judge has demanded NSF explain in court how the UCLA grant suspensions are not in violation of her June order that restored grants to UC scientists

‘Seek Funding’ Step Added To Scientific Method

Our opinion piece is hot off the presses! Cutting science funding has profound implications for STEM education & training & will negatively impact the San Diego region. TAKE ACTION by calling your congressional reps & demand no cuts to science funding! #StandUpForScience 🧪 tinyurl.com/ywxkvv25
