This is from the notice about our ADVANCE Journal grant’s termination alongside OSU's PNW LSAMP one. These programs have supported the advancement of women, BIPOC, and 2SLGBTQIA+ folks in STEM fields for decades. The destruction of these programs to support marginalized people is despicable. 💔

Such a pleasure and privilege to attend the PNW LSAMP 2025 conference and be with so many endlessly inspiring people including @deepseadawn.bsky.social @feministgadfly.bsky.social and Finn Johnson. Proud to represent the @advancejournal.bsky.social during these times.

So good for the soul to take to the streets with droves of like-minded people in Portland, Oregon. #handsoff #pdx

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Scholar-activists! Check out this webinar, Defend Academic Freedom, that takes place on April 5 before many of us will be taking to the streets for the Hands Off protests happening across the nation. www.aauporegon.org/defend-acade...

Jay Bhattacharya just sent a letter to all NIH staff, amidst the Musk/Trump chaos, and we have it for you! We unpack Bhattacharya's 'anti-vax grifterese' (h/t @angierasmussen.bsky.social ) and point out what he is really saying. You'll want to click and zoom in on this one.

My daughter’s art project:

I feel like a huge majority of academics are waiting for some magical time when their career is settled and they can afford to make statements and stand up for their students. But that time will never come.

Ed Department: DEI Violates Civil Rights Law In a sweeping and unprecedented letter issued over the weekend, the Office for Civil Rights declared race-based scholarships, cultural centers and even graduation ceremonies illegal. #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/4hCrabL

I need to be here

I am collecting stories of how people have been impacted by initiatives to promote diversity in STEM and/or health-related fields. This project is an attempt to collect important data about the impact on scholars at a critical moment. Link or the QR code to get to the survey: tinyurl.com/y8343pkm

Dear biologists & neuroscientists -- I'd like to collect some cursory data on what the "typical" breakdown of funding between federal & private looks like in labs. If you run a research lab or know enough about yours, could you fill this small form out? forms.gle/PEzWEYojBjfj...

"We have now an oligarchic system. As Aristotle wrote, once you create an oligarchic system with those kinds of inequities, then your only two choices are tyranny or revolution."

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵
