RADMicrobes workshop is back! Looking to learn bioinformatics and some basic bacterial genome analyses? I highly recommend this workshop. All my students take it and come out with amazing skills. www.eventbrite.com/e/rad-microb...

After an Ohio teacher put up a poster in their classroom reading "hate has no home here," the school board said it violated a state law against instructional materials related to sexual orientation or gender identity. Anti-LGBTQ censorship laws do nothing to help kids learn and grow.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Send a message to Mayor Whitmire and Houston City Council to NOT REPEAL Prop A - Immigration Ordinance Procedures. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

My LGBTQ+ community will never be rendered invisible. We will always stand up and fight for our rightful place.

NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate. This map and spreadsheet show which states could join to activate it by 2028 depending on the outcome of the 2026 elections docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

With gratitude to the Hungarian people for showing us what can be accomplished through concerted, peaceful action by many over time. May this be a call to widespread peaceful engagement to defend the U.S. Constitution.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

#Proudmentormoment my rotation student, Alexandra Serrato, won the 1st place poster prize as a pre-qualifying exam student at our departmental/graduate student retreat this week! Congrats Alexandra!

#Proudmentormoment My PhD student @jmduranramirez.bsky.social won an award for his talk at the #UTICONF2026 Very well deserved Jesus!

The science is clear: removing forest protections will be devastating on the environment. The Trump admin does not care. Fuel the fight to defend our forests and Stand Up for Science by donating at standupforscience.net/donate #Forest #Nature #Climate #Science zurl.co/KnBHN#Forest

Follow along with us on NASA+ here: ==> Launch (next attempt, 4/11 6:40AM CST): plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-vi... ==> Docking with ISS (if launches 4/11 - then 4/13, 10:40AM CST): plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-vi...

Not sure how many spacewalks they’ll have time for, but these studies in #Celegans will help tell us how the #microbiome alters host responses to microgravity.

Next launch attempt of thousands of tiny astronauts on 4/11/26 at 7:40am EST! www.nasa.gov/missions/sta... #wormsinspace #microbiome #spacebiology #Celegans #CBIOMES

Science is in danger and needs your help!!! This administration is attacking American science and we need you to help fuel the fight for science! Donate at: standupforscience.net/donate #StandUpForScience #Donate #SaveScience #Science

I just called my reps too, using @5calls.org. Can’t do nothing today ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

youtu.be/_K9az4El6YI?... I've liked Ted Lieu ever since he pulled this stunt. Dude keeps standing on business.

#ImageForensics Kidneys of four differently treated groups of animals. None of these photos should overlap. But is that true???? Tell or show me if you find at least 2 sets of overlaps.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

If President Trump thought he could shut us up with his attacks on free speech, he should think again. Our democracy belongs to all of us.

No Kings in Boston!!

POV: You made history by joining the LARGEST protest in United States history! #NoKings Use the energy’s from today’s historic day to meet your neighbors (if safe) and start a group chat on Signal. The most important resistance work is hyper localized 🤝 #WeSayNoKings

Here are some of my favorite signs from the #NoKings protest in Willimantic CT. I know some people are gonna say sign holders aren't doing enough, but as someone who has also written emails, signed petitions, called Congress reps, boycotted, donated $, & more, stop yucking our joy.

When I grew up in the 1970s, there were just a handful of vaccines Today, we are lucky to have vaccines against more than 20 diseases! Science has worked, what we need is greater access & less disinformation!

Someone give this veteran at a No Kings protest in Houston a medal of honor. His response to being asked why he is protesting was brilliantly said.

Meta paid an effective fed tax rate of 3.5% on its latest tax bill — its lowest on record. Mark Zuckerberg's net worth just hit $222 billion. And Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Now it's reportedly planning to lay off 15,000 workers. Hello?

Support our troops, bring them home. Stop this poorly thought out war with Iran. Valuing our troops and their families means only choosing war with clear objectives, to increase world stability, with consent of the people and Congress, and deeply aware of the immense economic and humanitarian toll.

President Trump doesn't have the power to unilaterally declare war. Head to aclu.org/war-on-iran- and tell Congress: Not one more taxpayer dollar for this illegal war with Iran.

One way to take action is to support Stand Up for Science. We're a registered 501(c)(4) social welfare organization dedicated to saving America’s scientific ecosystem, protecting health and defending democracy and your donations help. Thank you! #StandUpForScience www.standupforscience.net/donate

I think it is absolutely scandalous that in just one year of an HHS under the leadership RFK.Jr the US has lost its Measles elimination status and is now on track to do same for perinatally acquired Hepatitis B. These are huge public health wins that took years to accomplish.

to whom it may concern 👇 at the suggestion of cartoonist Mike Lukovich, the rules for hyphenation were amended to reflect the given circumstances.

This one hits hard.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

PIDS statement opposing today’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced changes regarding the organization and presentation of the U.S. childhood immunization schedule. Read the full statement at pids.org/2026/01/05/p...

Today’s announcement that HHS is drastically altering the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule without a transparent process or clear scientific justification represents the latest reckless step in Secretary Kennedy’s assault on the national vaccine infrastructure. Our statement: https://bit.ly/497Tj8V

This abrupt change (based on no data) is outrageous and endangers the health & lives of US children. I have seen kids die from flu, meningococcus, and RSV. These deaths are preventable by vaccination. I urge parents to talk to your doctor about how best to protect your kids from these diseases.

Same here. Half our income. Bills going late or partially-paid. My spouse still having to work (and work OVERTIME) for no money. And we were happy to muddle through, because the cause was worth it. Absolutely disgusted with Senate Dems.

Then why’d you cave?

We have a new timeline up today on our Medical Research Funding page, documenting the onslaught of political, legal, and bureaucratic attacks on medical research since January: unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

Trust the scientific process. Science by its nature is dynamic, always discovering new knowledge. Rather than simply trusting science, we want to trust the scientific process, and sometimes the path of discovery is steep and windy and full of switchbacks.
