Get ready Seattle! www.standupforscience.net/march7 #standupforscience

It's been a rough year for science (to put it mildly) but it was heartening to have two papers (one first author) come out in the same issue of @natgenet.nature.com www.nature.com/ng/volumes/5...

PRIMED Year in Review: Join us as we look back on some of what @prsmethods.bsky.social consortium members accomplished in 2025 to help improve genetic risk prediction in global populations 1/

Come kick off 2026 Beer Reviewed Science with @sufsseattle.bsky.social RSVP's welcome but not required: act.standupforscience.net/events/ident...

Every day a new reason to support articles of impeachment against RFK Jr...find the tools you need to add your support and demand that your Congressperson does the same www.standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

As the year comes to an end, this is a wonderful time to join in community. SUFS WA supports volunteering as a way to help your neighbors and make new friends. Mr. Rogers said to "look for the helpers." Now is a great time to become one! Here are just a few of the orgs operating in WA State.

Today's the day, Tennessee! Cast your vote for Aftyn Behn for Congress, and then join us in getting out the vote at our all-day phonebank. Every vote counts in the push to restore sanity to science policy, and send Aftyn to Congress! Sign up for a session at tr.ee/TN07-electionday

Out now in @natgenet.nature.com, our Comment analyzing uses of the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP), a controversial dataset in human genomics research. A 🧵 rdcu.be/eRu65 1/

Calling all middle TN (including Vanderbilt Univ) folks! Time to get you and all your friends and neighbors to help flip this seat for a candidate that will #standupforscience

Gratifying to see two of my dissertation papers cited in this new @nejm.org review article on direct-to-consumer genetic testing pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41147825/

My work with colleagues in @uwbioethics.bsky.social and @uwbiostat.bsky.social (Malia Fullerton, Stephanie Gogarten, Jacky Dahlquist) to examine the use of a controversial legacy dataset in genomics, the Human Genome Diversity Project. Stay tuned for more!! www.washington.edu/populationhe...

Just a reminder that if you are a scientist wondering how you can communicate the value of federally-funded scientific research outside of your bubble, @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social is here to help you pitch and publish in your hometown newspaper sciencehomecoming.com

Join us at the Seattle downtown waterfront tomorrow to advocate for science, public health, and research! @sufsseattle.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social #standupforscience

🙌 Join @sufsseattle.bsky.social on Sept 23 for “Foundations, Futures, and Federal Funding of Human-Computer Interaction - a Teach-In with @katestarbird.bsky.social”, for @standupforscience.bsky.social #SummerFightForScience. RSVP at act.standupforscience.net/events/found...

I thought this was a great run down of Trump's War on Science! thehill.com/opinion/whit...

Smarty Pints! The Science of Science Join professors Carl Bergstrom (UW Biology) and Kevin Gross (NCSU Statistics) for a conversation on how science works. Let us know you are coming and get involved in the summer fight for science: www.standupforscience.net/summer-fight... .

👀 🧬 Curious how to respectfully, robustly, and flexibly use population descriptors in genomic research, and align with @nationalacademies.org recommendations? Check out this work from the NIH-funded PRIMED Consortium @prsdiversity.bsky.social, co-led by Alyna Khan and Stephanie Gogarten

Anger confirmed. My research group is on partial furlough due to these renewal delays. Sign the #BethesdaDeclaration - www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

Our op-ed in the Guardian addresses the danger of Trump's "Gold Standard Science" executive order. with @cdelawalla.bsky.social @vambros.bsky.social Carol Greider @michaelemann.bsky.social @briannosek.bsky.social

💬 The perfect antidote to feeling a helpless lack of agency - SUBMIT PUBLIC COMMENT against a proposed rule that would replace civil servants with political appointees. More on why the proposed rule is bad - www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday 📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

📢 🐙 🧬 Seattle area folks - come visit me at the waterfront on Sunday! You can write postcards to your reps, stamp your 'passport' at different 'Ask a Scientist' stations, hold signs, and just generally keep showing up for science! #standupforscience

🙌 @alondra.bsky.social reminds us all to use our agency and our voices time.com/7285045/resi...

We gotta keep showing up for science!!

Research matters and it's under critical threat www.washington.edu/research-mak... New UW page makes the case and provides a link to sign up for critical alerts

Thank you @genandgenes.bsky.social for this clear and powerful message

Tax Day - round 3 - NIH 🩻🧠🧬 🧬 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $105/year to NIH, helping fund: • Cancer & rare disease breakthroughs • Pandemic preparedness • Children’s health • Medical tech innovation • Mental health science & more NIH powers the science behind the healthcare we rely on.

🚨🔥☎️ Time to call your Senators, folks - the House just passed a bill that will disenfranchise millions, especially women, people of color, and young people. www.npr.org/2025/03/12/n...

Thanks to @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social for giving me the inspiration and help to write this article for my hometown East Tennessee paper www.knoxnews.com/story/opinio...

Millions of people showed up in red and blue states, small and big cities, to say #HandsOff! Including my hometown crowd in Knoxville, TN 🙌

As I was telling Google to take me to @elsihub.bsky.social Collections, I mistakenly typed "ELSI hug" -- and I think we all sure could use one of those right now!

Didn’t wake up today expecting to feel chills watching CSPAN2. Thank you Senator Booker for inspiring us today! This and the Crawford win in Wisconsin are good motivators to stay engaged and stay active!! 🙌

Hannah is 💯 right, the role of government is NOT to restrict and undermine independent scientific inquiry The trainees are leading the fight, when they have the most to lose

This👇. During grad school I learned a definition of "political" as "regarding the distribution of social goods" - including health, health care, educational opportunities, the ability to access and generate knowledge, etc, i.e. the social goods being taking away from us now. Political ≠ partisan

Watch us scientists use our transferable skills! We're mobilized, we're organized, we're making action items. Also when this many introverts ✋ come out you know something is up!!! #standupforscience2025

Even the sun came out today in Seattle to #standupforscience2025! 🌞 Keep the momentum going: see Resources for Action at linktr.ee/seattle.sufs and watch this space, @sufsseattle.bsky.social

Happy Stand Up for Science Eve, everyone! See you tomorrow standupforscience2025.org

This is like sending out the bat signal to me and my fellow (older) millennials...it's Bill Nye!! Time to #standupforscience, in DC and nationwide this Friday, March 7th I'll be with @sufsseattle.bsky.social at the Seattle Center

An NIH grant I’d worked on for over 1.5 years, my first R01-level application as multiple PI, was supposed to be reviewed last Friday but wasn’t. A drop in the bucket of awfulness right now, but it still hurts It’s time to #standupforscience2025 standupforscience2025.org/local-event-...

Data sharing enthusiasts - check out our new @prsdiversity.bsky.social pre-print!

Call to action: nationwide events on March 7 to show our love of science and all the good that flows from it! standupforscience2025.org/local-event-... WA peeps register for the Seattle Center event here: www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f... #standupforscience2025

I had a real Elphaba "something has changed within me" moment today and signed up. Time to stop being too busy with my job to try and save my career (and, er, the entire enterprise of scientific research) #standupforscience2025 #scienceisforeveryone

Stand Up For Science 2025 rally on March 7 is being organized in Seattle WA! If you’d like to volunteer and be part of the organizing team, dm me! Event details coming soon #standupforscience2025 #scienceisforeveryone
