🧪 The decimation of U.S.A. federal science funding grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0...

"NIH staff have compiled every 'misaligned' term flagged...Terms the administration considered to 'potentially be associated with misalignment with the agency’s priorities'...included 'African American,' 'Hispanic American,' and 'Asian American.' 27unihted.substack.com/p/discrimina... 🧪 #NIH

No one should be denied health care because of who they are or who they love. #HealthForAll #Pride

I'm Trans gender ally🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 LOVE YOU🤍

🧪⚛️ OMB is not being shy, at all, about wanting to cancel or deny grants based on political preferences. This is very very bad. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Chilling. The story behing the decimation and the unrepairable damage left in its wake. Quotes: “...research has been shut off...because some people find the words ‘structural racism’ offensive.” “We were never canceled. We were just starved to death.”🧪🔭 www.scientificamerican.com/article/amer...

I finished my Our Flag Means Death animatic! I wanted to really lean in to making a very romantic song and dance, something I don't get to do often professionally. I hope you'll enjoy it! Help me get the word out! #OFMD #storyboard youtu.be/mz_jr64MDDM?...

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

Sentient prion Russ Voght wants to destroy US science. Submit your comment on the proposed rules by July 13 👇 www.standupforscience.net

Yup. I tell all my students that it doesn’t matter if you’ve run the best experiment in history. If you can’t communicate it, then it may as well have never happened. Science is communal and communicative.

In this well-reported piece on the billionaire cabal to stop the California ballot measure to implement wealth tax on billionaires, I especially appreciated this detail: sfstandard.com/2026/06/13/b...

tick-toc tick-toc Only a few hours left a landslide/glacier postdoc-in-waiting to catch a lucky break. Here’s hoping we can pull off some geohazards academic matchmaking so the funding doesn’t vanish in a puff of fairy dust.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

OB-GYNs release their own vaccine schedule, rejecting RFK Jr.'s meddling arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

this story should be national news during pride month and instead barely anyone knows about it

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Important US resources (1/2) Foodfinder.us shows you places in your area that will give you free food, this works even in small towns Furnaturebanks.org supplies free furnature, mainly for major cities Www.fns.usda.gov/meals4kids shows which libraries are giving meals to kids

1. There has been a major new federal rule proposed governing ALL federal grants. A federal grant recipient will be deemed ineligible if the recipient advances "gender ideology," or denies that "sex is binary." This includes hospitals, schools, nonprofits. Subscribe to support our journalism.

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

Kid just told me his power got shut off. I know we all need a break right now, but please, if you're looking for art, check out my info in the quoted post. 🧡

Megathread resources now compiled in a Google doc. Send it to your friends. Share with your departments and trainees. And share with non-scientists! I also have a template for non-scientist comments, because this is an all-taxpayer, all medical service user issue. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Unfortunately I ended up in the hospital again yesterday... Not ready to share details, but if you haven't shared or donated to my GoFundMe yet, I would appreciate the extra support right now Thank you to everyone helping me through this ordeal

There is no saving science without saving democracy

The criticism of Trump, Kennedy, and Bhattacharya that was so subversive that the ADA had to eject the Editor-in-Chief of their flagship journal from their annual meeting for sharing it? Prior today it had fewer than 1000 views. Do your thing.

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

The proposed rule raises significant concerns about the introduction of broad political and ideological considerations into federal funding decisions. Read SfN’s full statement on proposed OMB rule: vist.ly/56rqw #neurosky #scisky #medsky #neuroskyence

Recency bias: Every single story on the post office’s woes should include a paragraph explaining that no one thought it needed to break even until Reagan came along. It’s a public service. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

I'm almost sure if the new rules are enacted, Vought will blanket terminate all grants issued pre-2025. The new rules stated all grants must align with presidential priorities, and they can terminate grants any time. You can see it from a mile away. Submit a comment against it!

Call your reps -- blue, red, purple, it doesn't matter -- about the proposed OMB science funding rule. The house can stop this. Let them know it matters for your district.

"This would be the end of American science as we know it," said Cole Donovan @colesci.bsky.social, a policy analyst from the group @standupforscience.net who has been organizing to protest the change. "We're gonna make sure that it doesn't fade quietly into the night." www.npr.org/2026/06/03/n...

Welp there’s no unseeing this

giving this one more boost 🫶 i'm finally moving to a less shitty living situation very soon, but it'll still be tough making it to that point 🫂 so thankful to everyone who has pitched in, if you wanna directly support a queer person for pride month this would do that 🖤

Just attended this and was struck by Prof. Tim Snyder's statement that if this proposal becomes policy, then government will cease to exist. The final stage will be all distribution of $$ will be politicized, like they are currently spending millions to coat DC statues in gold that nobody asked for.

🧪Sarah Trimmer on LinkedIn has created a Google Drive that helps explain what the new OMB proposal is and what we can do about it www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Happy Pride Month. If you know a young person (age 13-26) in the US who is getting their access to queer library books restricted because of local small-minded folks, please refer them to the Books Unbanned program. More people should know about it. #pride booksunbanned.com/card

This one hits home to the Polar Programs community.... "NSF continues to offer fellowship opportunities ...in the fields of engineering, entrepreneurial research, mathematics and physical sciences. ..postdocs in biology are available only if they involve the use of artificial intelligence." 🧪🌎🇦🇶🌊

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

🪼 Your tax dollars paid a scientist to squeeze jellyfish through cheesecloth. Osamu Shimomura processed tens of thousands on an NSF grant to understand why they glow. He found a protein that glowed green under UV light. Called it "green protein." Nobody cared. For decades.
