Tomorrow begins the #CityNatureChallenge with 1000s around the world going out to take photos of living things. Join us. @inaturalist.bsky.social Donate your time to the #research of #scientists including studies of bird populations. #birding #conservation and ocean acidification.

Thanks to you @jasongale.bsky.social for the book, "After Covid," and our discussion with @marynmck.bsky.social today. Great talk. #covid19 #longcovid #virus #science 🧪 Archive of the talk is on youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihdG...

Reminder - Friday begins the CITY nature challenge, counting biodiversity around the world. #earthday #science #inaturalist 🧪

You are welcome. #podcast #kuow @kuow.org

Game = poem. Solving words ladder contemplation. Seed, power of creation, Dense, containing future Sensed, pulling from edges Endless, unspooling generations Idleness, what we need to see Thanks to The New Yorker games dept. for this 4-18 list of words. #shuffalo #bloomscrolling

We should be learning from other countries...

Thank you to Mary Brunkow of Institute for Systems Biology in #seattle for speaking about her #Nobel prize journey. My PhD student friend gasped at slide of page 343 in the lab notes. (Because, they had to wait 342 pages for success. ) #education #science #process #SciEd #women

How many layers of nerd? #seattle theater event in April. Random built in. 5 science plays created from scratch in ... less than a week. Research as catalyst, but theater as method. No recording. You have to come see. theatreoffjackson.org/event/centri...

For #bloomscrolling

Long-term studies are vital to understanding how species and ecosystems are responding to climate change and other environmental stressors, but difficult to sustain under typical short-term grant cycles. LTER has been funding these since 1980. This is breaking something that can’t be replaced.

What a tragic and unnecessary loss brought on by cruel policies cruelly enforced. The broader picture is that while some of the GOP's war on science will be reversible, some won't. Never again in my lifetime will the best and brightest from around the world want to study and work in the US.

now THAT’S how a major publication should write a lede www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Health Department is quietly laying the groundwork to revive a vaccine advisory committee whose membership and decisions were frozen last month by a federal judge. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/h...

Nara has been an unrelenting supporter of our faculty and trainees throughout this chaos. I don't know when he sleeps! Sad to read this piece and reflect on all of the ways that this Administration is trying to destroy medical research.

You need to read this dean's description of science dissolving around him. From Nara Parameswaran at @michiganstateu.bsky.social #scicomm #sciwri #cuts @theconversation.com theconversation.com/panicking-sc...

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.

If you missed it on March 7, listen to my speech here. "We need #science #journalism," I said. and "Don't complain about the paywall." @standupforscience.net @sufsseattle.bsky.social youtu.be/HBIrC0wGMS0?...

This is a great list of techniques for getting real information out of a Google search and avoiding AI slop and paid results. (One thing not included is that if you add "-ai" to a search, you block the AI summary) cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

“If you’re watching television and the words ‘woke and weaponized’ come out of a politician’s mouth, you can know that this is coming ... from the strategies we’re putting out,” Vought boasted in a recording obtained by ProPublica. (Published Oct. 2025)

I have a yoga joke. You need to breathe in for 4 counts to truly reach it.

I have a science journalist joke that misquotes you and exaggerates, but the magazine isn't covering science anymore.

I have a contemporary art joke, but your kid could make it

Get your young curious kiddos gathered for City Nature Challenge 4-24 until 4-27 #seattle #tacoma #science #children @woodlandparkzoo.bsky.social @ptdefiancezoo.bsky.social @nwtrek.bsky.social #citizenscience www.inaturalist.org/projects/cit...

Huge respect for this principled stand.

Thank you to @rachrobertson.bsky.social Alvira Tyagi and Henry Bair, MD, for comments about #AI in #health and #journalism for the @healthjournalism.org webinar. Many important points, especially privacy, regulation. (complete archive at AHCJ)

Fabulous complicated story of brain drain in #Boston could serve as a template for similar drain in #seattle? See comment for link. Story from @bostonglobe.com surveyed 4,000 scientists to try to get at how funding cuts, or just uncertainty, freezes #research. 🧪

NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics. We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races. 1/7 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

We speculated that the @standupforscience.bsky.social event yesterday would have been bigger if there was not another event in same weekend. @sufsseattle.bsky.social Good for #womensmarch

Heartbreaking well-reported story about #seattle #ambulance coverage from @danielbeekman.bsky.social outlines AMR (ambulance co) failing to send rig to a woman who called 9-1-1 over and over. She died alone in her apartment. #science Story from @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social in comment below.

Sally James spoke, too, and gave voice to the many science journalists laid off and the many science communicators expelled from the federal institutions we all rely on. She crushed it!

Myself and Kristin Weinstein, PhD candidate and speaker at @sufsseattle.bsky.social She championed the pipeline for candidates and the terrible dwindling this year. #stem #academic #pipeline
