Join our action hour tomorrow and #StandUpForScience! ✊ If you want to meet other folks who care & take an easy advocacy action, this is great (no long-term commitment necessary). ☑️ If you're looking to get more involved, this is can be your first step, and we'd love to meet you! 😀

New findings from my lab in Nature Communications suggest that racial stereotypes can lead the brain's perceptual system to temporarily "see" weapons where they don't exist. Led by: @dongwonoh.bsky.social Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/6)

🚨We’ve got the Quack-O-Gram video up on YouTube!🚨 Please share widely—Bobby “The Quack” Jr has to go. He’s unqualified, corrupt, and going to get people killed. 🐥It’s not to late to send a QOG or bundle of Quacks to Congress: www.standupforscience.net/quack-o-grams youtu.be/wjET_T15qBk?...

Repeated head impacts in young athletes can cause neuron loss and inflammation long before signs of neurodegenerative diseases appear, according to a study in Nature. The findings may help explain early symptoms in people exposed to contact sports. go.nature.com/4pjHdzw #medsky 🧪

With Jon Lorsch's transfer from NIGMS to the Office of the Director and the announced (internally) departure of another institute director effective at the end of November, more than half of the 27 institute and center director positions at NIH will soon be held by people in "acting" capacities.

We are in a constitutional emergency. NOW is the time to put up resources to fight back. It’s the time for conviction and courage. If we fight, we can win. If we put our heads down, we WILL lose everything.

Here’s the thing, American institutions—universities, societies, businesses, etc.—actually do have the collective power to stand up to King TACO. Imagine your house being on fire and your neighbors blocking the fire dept from accessing the hydrant because “it’s only for emergencies!” That is this.

CALL TO ACTION! During one of our meetings this week with a House Dem, who shall remain nameless, the idea that "DEI research doesn't save anyone's life" was espoused. My team was *flabbergasted* by this assertion. PLEASE DROP YOUR PEER REVIEWED WORKS OF "DEI" SAVING LIVES HERE SO WE CAN SHARE!

THE VIDEO IS HERE!!!

Imagine a map of the brain that shows—at the level of single neurons—how decisions are made. Now, imagine using that map to see how prior knowledge informs those decisions. You don't have to use your imagination thanks to @intlbrainlab.bsky.social's new study. www.cshl.edu/worldwide-co...

NEW: Per multiple sources, NIH staff have been told that "DOJ has advised" that they "should NOT" attend the American Public Health Association annual meeting, which is taking place in far-off, uh, Washington DC November 2-5.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Asked who RFK gets his briefings from at CDC, he says William Thompson. Thompson is a longtime CDC psychologist who has pushed the false theory that vaccines are linked to autism.

something that drives me nuts is how legacy media will write that "scholars question legality" of a trump administration action when there is not a shred of evidence that it is in fact legal. it leaves room for the federal government to manufacture a legal justification when literally none exists.

Under RFK Jr.'s watch, we're seeing children die from measles for the 1st time in decades. Our public health system is further deteriorating. People are losing faith in vaccines because of misinformation. The best thing for Americans' health would be for RFK to resign.

Call your member of Congress on this matter: 202-224-3121.

Unbelievable “We are the sickest country in the world. That’s why we have to fire people at the CDC. They did not do their job” - RFK Jr CDC folks have been fired, fired at, and now being blamed for the country’s health crisis by a anti-science quack

The MorPhiC consortium — a program led in part by JAX scientists — aims to better understand the function of every human gene and generate a catalogue of the molecular and cellular consequences of inactivating genes. 🧪 🧬 https://youtu.be/5NfDpH9zVic

Two prominent whistle-blower scientists filed that they had been removed from leadership positions at the National Institutes of Health after objecting to Trump administration efforts to undermine vaccines, defy court orders, withhold research money and politicize the grant-making process.

This is what they want to do to ALL scientific research in this country. This is what they mean by "gold standard science." Vaccines are just the start
