I just registered! Can't wait

Excited to be joining the 2025 @elife.bsky.social Community Ambassadors! It's amazing to see all the diversity in fields, geography, and background on today's welcome call, and I'm looking forward to the things we learn and explore together. elifesciences.org/inside-elife...

No compromise on trans rights, ever.

The Trump Administration has abruptly pulled $4.5 million in Maine Sea Grant funds (via NOAA), which were used to protect Maine’s working waterfront and ocean ecosystems. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/01/m...

Our team just had an NIH grant terminated. The reason? “Transgender issues: Research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific, have little identifiable return on investment, and do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans….”

I wrote a letter to the editor about the risks of cutting federal climate-related science funding. I've found myself writing quite a few over the last few weeks, but this is the first one that's been published. If I can do it, so can you! www.bangordailynews.com/2025/02/16/o...

Our 2024 Raskin Scholar is Brandon Whitehead from @manaakiwhenua.bsky.social @ufl.edu. He actually met and worked with Bob Raskin! ➡️ Read more about Brandon's work and Bob's impact on #semantics: www.esipfed.org/meet-2024-ra...

“The connections between Earth science and genomics lie in their shared goal of understanding and unraveling complex systems," says 2023 Raskin Scholar @alexisgarretson.bsky.social. ➡️ Read more about her work in the @jacksonlab.bsky.social: www.esipfed.org/raskin-schol...

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

This is really good. A lot of you will be looking for something tangible you can do to protect those who are targeted by state kidnappers. I really like the idea of neighborhood ICE watches.
