A reflection on why we appreciate science in the first place, and what must change for the future.

I met some of the grad students from SNAP at AAAS in last month. Excited they'll be at #SciTalk26 also. #SciPolicy #SciComm

New @snapcoalition.bsky.social post for science appreciation day :) medium.com/science-poli...

HAPPENING NOW @snapcoalition.bsky.social panel discussing the work to mobilize scientists to engage with communities and policy makers @sneharao.bsky.social @eselland.bsky.social @emmascales.bsky.social @alexlando.bsky.social and David Ramotowski

Panelists from @snapcoalition.bsky.social ‘s mobilizing early career researchers panel today at @sciencetalkorg.bsky.social !!! #sciencecomm #SNAP @sneharao.bsky.social @alexlando.bsky.social @emmascales.bsky.social

Happy National Science Appreciation Day! 🤩 Ok look - #science has had a rough year 🫠 and maybe doesn’t feel like celebrating. But Miles Arnett & @disha-patel3.bsky.social say that we must continue to celebrate regardless and continue fighting for #better. Read on Medium: medium.com/science-poli...

Today i attended one of the most interesting PhD defenses of my career. JP Flores' (@jpflores.rbind.io) combination of scientific achievement & acumen, activities in mentoring, science communication, & advocacy, & creativity in presentation made it virtually unique--look our for him in the future!

Will we see you on Thursday at @sciencetalkorg.bsky.social ?!

This post by @emmascales.bsky.social is a MUST read. Scientists have a social responsibility to be a barrier against #fascism in science & #scipol. @snapcoalition.bsky.social

It’s #blog post day! SNAPper Emma Scales (@emmascales.bsky.social) asks us to recognize patterns in science & #scipol that lead to compliance with & progression of #fascism. What must change to avoid repeating history? 🤔 TW: genocide, racism, murder Read on Medium: medium.com/science-poli...

Florida prohibits universities from using the H-1B program to hire “new employees” until Jan. 5, 2027. The change will not affect existing H-1B holders, according to system Chancellor Ray Rodrigues. @unitedfacultyfl.bsky.social

Stance on Science is a nonpartisan initiative meant to inform the voting community about political candidates’ positions regarding science policy-relevant issues, and also shows how science policies can affect our communities!

I can’t say it better than @disha-patel3.bsky.social already did. The opportunity to meet 40+ SNAPpers at #AAASmtg and then reflect on a year of @snapcoalition.bsky.social? Priceless! Please enjoy our new blog post on Medium: medium.com/science-poli...

Inspired and amazed by the interesting and thought-provoking sessions at the AAAS Annual Meeting, the 40+ members of the @snapcoalition.bsky.social I had the honor to meet in person (finally!), and the ideas and conversations that took place. Jordan and I hope you enjoy this AAAS reflection!

New blog post just dropped! Read to learn about the #SNAPcoalition experience at the @aaas.org conference in #Phoenix and to hear more about some of the work SNAP is doing. #AAASmtg #AAAS2026 medium.com/p/eea4fcbf7de7

This year, we also saw real momentum for non‑animal, human‑relevant science. SAO’s Gabby Vidaurre, PhD gave a standout Postdoc Talk on Research Modernization NOW, and AI‑driven breakthroughs—from lung‑ultrasound to exposome analytics—took center stage. #scipol #sciencepolicy #NAMs #AI

✨ #AAASmtg Highlights! ✨ The 2026 @aaas.org Science @ Scale theme brought big ideas from across the research landscape. From climate & public health to biomedical innovation, it was inspiring to step outside our orbit—and even convert a few particle physicists into #organonchip fans. 🔗 below 👇
