If you have benefited from science and live in the US, please consider signing @standupforscience.bsky.social open letter regarding the EO issued on May 23rd! www.standupforscience.net/open-letter-...

Let me be very clear - transparent and rigorous science is not possible under the current administration. Part of the "gold standard" of health research is including a diverse study population - biology is not "one size fits all"!

Had a wonderful time discussing everyone's efforts to better our understanding of precancer biology! See you again, Baltimore!

Looking forward to meeting with colleagues over the next few days in Baltimore!

We are excited to announce our official partnership with @indivisible.org for the National Day of Action on April 5th! Stand Up for Science says: HANDS OFF OUR SCIENCE! #standupforscience #handsoffourscience Find and register for an event near you: handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s...

Roundtable this Wed at the US Senate, on how Trump and Musk are killing research like cancer and Alzheimer’s research. 2:30pm Eastern. There is a livestream. This would be better in primetime and produced for TV, like the Jan 6 Committee did. But it’s a good start from @baldwin.senate.gov.

We'd love to hear from you!!! One of my reasons? Science helps me balance my brain chemistry so I can study how colon cancer interacts with neighboring healthy tissue, and figure out better ways to kill the cancer without hurting the patient! #storeboughtserotonin #mentalhealthmatters #CRCresearch

This is what we mean when we say cutting NIH funding will cost lives. Cancer patients and their families are having the rug pulled from under them.

Did we mention anyone can fill this out? Scientists, Bill Nye the Science Guy fans, Packer fans, Mark Hamill, your nana...the possibilities are endless!

Today was truly incredible. In less than a month, rallies were organized at 30+ sites across our country AND abroad. This is just the beginning - we will continue to advocate for everyone who benefits from our research! @standupforscience.bsky.social

#NCI - how is ‘obesity’ controversial in research and now a flagged term? 👇👇👇

What a fantastic #standupforsciencewi event! You could hear the cheering 2 blocks away. #standupforscience2025

Way to go, Wisconsin! Today we came together to Stand Up for Science and demand that lifesaving research be protected. Tomorrow, we continue working together to #saveourscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/s... Kind of speechless. Thank you to @katrinamillerphd.bsky.social for coving our movement so well. @standupforscience.bsky.social @jpflores.bsky.social @samschuelstein.bsky.social @leslie-bern.bsky.social @emmalovesscience.bsky.social

This administration is anything but committed to creating a Nation free of cancer. The ongoing funding freeze is causing clinical trials to be stopped, and the attack on diversity, equity, inclusivity, and accessibility has made conducting representative studies impossible.

Madison! Organizers HAVE A PERMIT for this event and will have copies with them the day of!

"The White House can lie all they want about how they're not stopping cancer research," the NIH source said, "but they're stopping cancer research on [NIH's] Bethesda campus." Can confirm. The many shifting rules and EOs and bans do seem designed to stop cancer research at #NIH.

HHS Decisions are no longer open for public comment. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/h...

🧪🚨 NSF's Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) has halted making nearly all new awards since inauguration day. Among *many* other things, EDU runs the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). We need to protect the education & training of the next gen of scientists #StandUpForScience Thread👇🧵

I'll say it louder for the folks in the back: Our government is ACTIVELY taking away YOUR ability to access PUBLIC data. This 👏 is 👏 NOT 👏 okay 👏

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social we will be out in Madison, WI! Maybe you can show @hankgreen.bsky.social around? 🥹

Thank you, Hank Green!!!

We're Standing Up for Science on March 7th, in DC & Nationwide! The future of science is bright, but we need to protect it—because science benefits everyone. More information: www.standupforscience2025.org ☀️⬇️📣

According to United for Medical Research, NIH grants in the state of Wisconsin totaled $654 million and supported $1.48 billion in economic activity in 2023. We need federal support for research! @baldwin.senate.gov @markpocan.bsky.social @pocan.house.gov @govevers.wisconsin.gov

This is a straight ban on purchasing at #NIH — for cancer trials, treating patients, and developing cures. @chrislhayes.bsky.social Almost all purchases at NIH are made on govt credit cards. It’s clear what’s happening: Trump/Musk are blowing up the govt using devious… 1/ www.forbes.com/sites...

In summary: the government has just announced a "take backsies" policy for any already-funded research grant that they deem "inefficient". www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Attending #StandUpforScience in Madison? Make your sign with us at Delta Beer Lab!

Alright friends, you know what to do! 👀

This is why we need YOU on March 7th!

Wisconsinites! If you are a scientist, love a scientist, or benefit from science - we need YOU! Join us on March 7th as we #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

🚨WE ARE FINALIZING SITES ON MONDAY🚨

"We must restore the integrity of the scientific process by protecting expert recommendations from inappropriate influence and increasing transparency regarding existing data." Scientific integrity is not possible when we cannot accurately describe our results or use representative subject pools.

My state will not help make up IDCs and think we can just persevere through it because they won't cut direct costs. Last year we ranked 6 in the nation on research expenditures. We will rapidly decline when we need to line item admin into DC to be operational www.dailycardinal.com/article/2025...

Fellow UW-Madison folks - we have a great opportunity to participate and make a difference given our proximity to the capitol! #ScienceNotSilence

Commercials sold for approximately $8 million for a 30 second time slot during the Super Bowl yesterday (Forbes, 2025). The annual budget for the National Cancer Institute, in contrast, was $7.22 billion for 2024 (cancer.gov). 7.5 Super Bowl commercial slots equate one month of nationwide research.

Get in Dorks, we are going protesting. STAND UP FOR SCIENCE. MARCH 7th 12-4pm. DC AND YOUR STATE CAPITALS. More information to come.

I can't help but notice that a specific selection of words seems to be missing from this list.

In case it wasn't abundantly clear, scrubbing data that does not agree with your perception of reality does not result in said perceptions becoming reality. Responsible science is not conducted that way.

Senescence-associated ECM remodeling is a major area of interest for me! Looking forward to reading this - and any other papers #sciencesky may recommend 🧬😉

We as a scientific community must keep fighting for the advancements in our collective fields which save lives - despite the obstacles we are soon to face.

Loving this starter pack feature! Has anyone made one for TME enthusiasts or spatial transcriptomics yet? 👀

Earlier this year, we published an article in Cancer Discovery discussing six hallmarks of precancer and highlighting the need for a multi-omics approach to research in this area. aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov... Would love to connect with others working in this area!

Hello there! I'm a PhD candidate at UW-Madison, studying how the tumor microenvironment impacts colorectal cancer. Views and opinions are my own. Looking forward to reconnecting with all of my fellow science-enthusiasts that have made the switch from that other app 😁
