#Greenland 🇬🇱

You want to save Whales? You want to save the Clean Water Act? You want to save Medicaid? You want to save Social Security? Be brave. Fight.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Disgusting, even for Trump.

ELEVEN DAYS LEFT TO SAVE DEMOCRACY. Florida special elections in district 1 and 6 on APRIL 1st. If DEMOCRATS. Show up to vote it could be the best April fools prank in history. Remember, YOUR VOTE COULD BE THE DECIDING VOTE.

Porsha Ngumezi was killed by Texas’ abortion ban after doctors refused her a D&C to treat the miscarriage she suffered at 11 weeks gestation. She leaves behind a husband and two sons. www.cbsnews.com/news/grievin...

The department of education administers federal student loans. Our children need those funds for higher education. We all benefit from a well educated population.

In 15 yrs of reporting, I've never had so many health & biomed researchers & outreach orgs tell me they're afraid to talk w/press or barred from speaking bc of new comms policies. I understand the fear of losing funds. I don't know if silence does more harm than good. If you can speak up, pls do.

Absolute ghouls

Anyone who cares about #IMLS, but more importantly #intellectual_freedom and critical thinking, must read this latest piece by @heykellyjensen.bsky.social: bookriot.com/imls-propaga... #defendlibraries

Hey SUFS Community! If you fall into one of the following categories and are willing to talk to press (on or off the record), please comment/DM us: 1. Had a funded grant revoked 2. Are considering moving abroad to continue your research 3. Have been impacted by the stoppage of a clinical trial

“I hate to predict things like that…” Unfortunately most economists think the unpredictable tariffs will have no short or long term benefits for the US economy. The boycotts will make things worse for the US.

Together with fellow @biologists.bsky.social EiCs we've written about the unprecedented cuts & policy changes to research in the US We stand with our US colleagues during this challenging time Science transcends borders—setbacks in one nation affect us all journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

It’s actually true.

Former NIH director Dr. Harold Varmus joins us to discuss what cuts to the institutes’ staff and research funding could mean for science.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR. In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.

Happening now outside John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis! We aren’t letting them quietly destroy the VA! @votevets.org

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

As Orwell predicted.

But our work is far from done—science is still under attack. We’ve got ideas, but we want to hear from you. What’s worrying you most? What should we do next? How can we grow this movement together? Fill out this quick form to share your thoughts & stay connected: forms.gle/QAxH4wD4Y3sg...

First and foremost, an incredible THANK YOU to everyone who has supported Stand Up for Science—whether you attended our events, donated, shared, or volunteered. We are so humbled by how many people showed up to support us & all of the passion that people brought with them.

A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar! Executive Editor of News Brian Barrett on how DOGE is the deep state.

Our tax dollars at work: paying to deploy jack-booted thugs to protect the property of the billionaire who is currently robbing us of our livelihoods and our data every single day.

BREAKING: The University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University has reneged on their commitment to host the @sciencewriters.org annual conference and withdrew their entire financial support. The National Association of Science Writers is now looking for a new venue, sponsors, and partners.

I’ve got some free time this afternoon - let’s do a quick Q&A. Share your questions below, and I’ll answer as many as I can.

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.

This is wonderful! Please also consider joining the 2900+ people who have signed & shared the Declaration to #DefendResearch Against U.S. Gov Censorship and have also committed to taking at least another #action like attending a March 7th #standupforscience2025 rally! tinyurl.com/3bwuc38f

Trump says consumer confidence is up. That's a lie. www.kxan.com/news/nationa...

President Trump says rates of pediatric cancer are way up, but his incompetent fanatics on DOGE fired my guest tonight, Dr. Lauren McGee, a remarkable pediatric cancer researcher who was sacked from NIH as part of Musk’s Valentine’s Day onslaught.

Plunder of public funds and resources

The limits of their code of conduct; apparently it needs revision in order to align with their true values.

Hey, I know that guy!

I'm standing up for science because science allows us to make informed decisions that better our world.

We want to know—why are YOU standing up for science? Whether it's a commitment to evidence-based policy, a drive to protect our planet, or the personal impact of recent events on your career, we want to feature your story. Head to standupforscience2025.org/science-stor... to share yours ☀️

BREAKING: We're sending an open letter to universities across the country, offering support and urging them to reject pressure to punish international students and faculty for exercising their First Amendment rights. Schools must hold firm against the Trump administration's censorship attempts.

Sign of the day…

RFK Jr., the head of HHS, doesn’t want to tell people “what they ought to be doing” to protect themselves in the wake of the Texas measles outbreak. He is defiantly refusing to promote the ONLY THING THAT PREVENTS MEASLES, which is the MMR VACCINE, while casting doubt on their safety.
