This thread makes an important point! When talking to Representatives or the media, focus on the health and economic impact. Republican members are usually terrified of China winning — this hands them biomedical supremacy on a platter.

I mis-added earlier, here's corrected post: How many scientists and interior workers were fired today? Between news article estimates and social posts, I count over 10k: 5200 @ NIH 1200-2000 @ DOE 800 @ USDA 2,300 @ Dept. of Interior 1,300 @ CDC (I haven't heard any FDA, EPA, or NASA numbers)

so.... this happening for you all?

Super excited to announce our latest work. On a personal note, it's not an exaggeration to say that blood, sweat, and tears got us to the finish line on this: working w/ an outstanding global team of scientists in Germany, Japan, Russia, and USA responding in >100 pages of complex reviewer comments.

December 10 is the big day for @nobelprize.bsky.social ceremonies—the medals are awarded, and the fabulous banquet takes center stage. Regretting not making it this year, but fondly reminiscing about the 2021 events.
