@snapcoalition.bsky.social is a grassroots organization that organized the McClintock Letters & just ran a training for our congressional district visit days. It’s a group with leaders from all over the country & a group where we put the team and goals FIRST. No silly titles. Just work we believe

What the article DIDN’T mention is the Slack has a name! I’m so lucky to be a part of a team of passionate science communicators and advocates in @snapcoalition.bsky.social

My second McClintock Letters op-ed (@snapcoalition.bsky.social) is now published in The Signal! My hometown’s local paper 😊 thanks again @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social ! signalscv.com/2025/06/john...

I hope my #Brookline community sees how these cuts are affecting those around us and joins the fight to defend federal science funding. (2/2) @brooklinenews.bsky.social @samjmintz.bsky.social brookline.news/re-the-world...

While unfortunate that this messaging is necessary, it is nevertheless exciting to connect with Spokane and advocate on behalf of science. Amazing working with my colleagues at @snapcoalition.bsky.social organizing the McClintock Letters, aided by collaborators at @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social

So grateful to be one of the 500+ early-career scientists returning to their roots this month. The SNAP team behind this campaign has been such a blast to work with! @snapcoalition.bsky.social Check out my piece in the Marietta Daily Journal, as well as other national coverage: bit.ly/3HXlfB4

Honored to be featured in this @nytimes.com article yesterday about the McClintock Letters initiative! Op-eds from scientists across the country are going out in their hometown newspapers over the next couple of weeks, keep an eye out for one near you. tinyurl.com/nytmcclintock #SciComm #McClintock

Wonderful @nytimes.com feature discussing the #McClintockLetters with PSPDG President @mjarnett.bsky.social and incredible collaborators leading this initiative @isakoditomassi.bsky.social @erinmorrow.bsky.social @emmascales.bsky.social @snapcoalition.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/s...

This team has been so fun to work with y’all, for real for real! I admire everyone in SNAP! (If you’re a trainee interested in science policy, reach out! It’s a party!)

#McClintockLetters wouldn't be possible without @snapcoalition.bsky.social members such as ASAP leadership @alexlando.bsky.social @hannaherf.bsky.social @isakoditomassi.bsky.social @emmascales.bsky.social

Working with and learning from incredible leaders like @isakoditomassi.bsky.social and dozens others @snapcoalition.bsky.social has been the highlight of my year! Read how trainees are taking action: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Neuroscientist Kristina Visscher writes, “I’m reaching out to you as a nerdy kid from Northport, Alabama, who – thanks to a great Alabama public education – got a Ph.D. in Neuroscience” @visscherlab.bsky.social www.al.com/news/2025/06...

Neuroscientist Erin Morrow writes, “Wellstar Cobb Hospital is where science saved my life…Six months later, I walked across the graduation stage at Emory. My happy ending wouldn’t have been possible without decades of U.S. research” 🧪🏠 @erinmorrow.bsky.social www.mdjonline.com/opinion/well...

Ignoring the input of nationally recognized experts committed to the safety and well-being of the American people is not only reckless but sets a dangerous precedent for the leadership of public health organizations tasked with critically evaluating vaccines and protecting the US.

The ATS condemns the HHS Sec. Kennedy’s unilateral decision to dismiss all members of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This decision undermines decades of medical and scientific that have been vital to safeguarding public health. apnews.com/article/kenn...

Science is under unprecedented threat in the US, and we need to speak out to save it. If you are an early-career researcher, please consider signing our open letter calling to preserve the future of American science: tinyurl.com/mcclintockle.... Our futures, and our country's future, depend on it.

Heck yes, let's do it @jonj-udd.bsky.social @erinmorrow.bsky.social @rosemalb.bsky.social @viv-cc.bsky.social @jpflores.rbind.io @ksxue.bsky.social @ashyeneng.bsky.social @disha-patel3.bsky.social

Meet your 2025-2026 E-board! We are thrilled to introduce two new members, Naman Srivastava as Science Communication Chair and Hailey Parikh as Science Policy Chair.

Meet your 2025-2026 E-board! Our former Science Policy Chair, Miles Arnett, will be leading PSPDG as President. Dimitris Boufidis (Science Diplomacy Chair), Georgia Mies (Treasurer), and Rose Albert (Vice President) will continue their great work in their roles from last year.

It is bittersweet to send off our former President, Kaeri Martinez Medina, and our Science Communication Chair, Gabriel Vega Bellido, but we know they will make great strides in science diplomacy and communication! We are so appreciative of the leadership, care, and kindness they brought to the work

An incredible training opportunity! Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning about science policy and advocacy
