"I don’t know why my fellowship was terminated. I suspect that it has something to do with studying a species that doesn’t fit the binary of what we expect to see in nature, with completely different males and females." @carlzimmer.com profiles my wonderful coauthor @jjinsing.bsky.social Gift link.

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

The butterfly effect is crazy. Cuz what do you mean I started watching Vlog brothers videos in 2019 and now I'm on a Plane to Malawi to work with Partners in Health this summer #dftba #vlogbrothers @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social @hankgreen.bsky.social

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women Unreal www.science.org/content/arti...

🧬 Research saves lives. Slashing NIH funding puts critical research & healthcare at risk. On April 8th, join the movement to protect science and public health. #KillTheCuts Boston Action: John F. Kennedy Federal Building @ 5:00 PM

Today I attended the first annual Global Health Symposium at Tufts Medical and Dr. Jonathon Gass highlighted something that I just wanted to share: "The world of global health as we knew it 3 months ago no longer exists" I think subconsciously I already knew but to hear it out loud is sobering

WTF?!?!?!?!

The library and Science/Engineering buildings of a university are scary places at 12:30 am during midterms (week leading up to spring break). I feel like Im in an alternate reality right now

Consider donating to organizations like @partnersinhealth.bsky.social if you can. They are doing important work despite the impacts of global health budget cuts

What better way to combat antisemitism than by stripping funds from a university with the highest percentages of Jewish undergraduates of any school in the Ivy League?

Great turnout for #StandUpForScience in #Boston. This city is home to some of the greatest research institutions and hospitals in the world. We will not be silenced.

USAID is being gutted, and life-saving TB and HIV care are being withheld as a result! US citizens/residents, call your REPS! Link Below ⬇️ Also, if you are able, donate to the StopTB partnership to support efforts to provide continued care: act.unfoundation.org/onlineaction...

Can someone explain to me why the rabies vaccine is SOO FREAKING EXPENSIVE in the US? I am traveling to a place where I need to get it this summer, and 850-900 dollars for the two shots is actually insane. Why is this one so much more expensive than other vaccines?? #pharmacy #immunization

The City of Boston is leading 40+ mayors, cities, and counties in an amicus brief against the Trump Administration's drastic and illegal cuts to federal research funding—cuts that will lead to immediate job losses nationwide.

Having 3 exams in a 30-hour period should be illegal. I can max study for 2 exams at a time #college

Rosalind Franklin’s work in X-ray crystallography was key to uncovering DNA’s double-helix structure. In a field dominated by men, she not only excelled but also shattered stereotypes, demonstrating that women drive groundbreaking discoveries in science. 🔬 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

Today is International Day of Women & Girls in Science. Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Her contributions have left an indelible mark on the world of science & health & continue to inspire generations of scientists & innovators. 🔬 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

The irony of me trying not to focus on the news so that I can study orgo and biochem is not lost on me in this moment. Studying for a future career that I am seeing disappear before my eyes #NIH

Everyday I think "wow a time turner would make my life a whole lot easier"

I'm cursed by the fact that I want to learn everything..... Ahahahahah There are so many classes I wanna take and things I wanna do but not enough time #college

Excited to join this platform. A bit about me: I am a second year undergrad student at Tufts University studying Biochemistry I work in the amazing SRH lab at Tufts studying DNA repair proteins in HR I am an avid climate activist. And I love hiking, biking, reading and skiing 🥰 Hi everyone
