I’m rarely on here but

Violence is never the answer. The craziest thing about all of this is that when I started getting notifications from the @standupforscience.bsky.social discord server, I knew it was an active shooter situation. Not a fire, not a crazy pathogen leaking from a lab, but an active shooter.

The heart and brain of EPA - its research office - has been dismantled. Policy now outranks evidence. Hundreds of scientists silenced while industry lobbyists cheer. And the #EPA139 who spoke out still on admin leave. Support them & the #DeclarationofDissent here: zurl.co/ZRMh1 zurl.co/32CuE

I think the difference between South Park mocking Trump and Colbert is I suspect a lot more Trump voters watch South Park.

Fascinating case describes the first adult case of measles-associated HLH a rare, potentially fatal hyperinflammatory syndrome. The patient had received 2 MMR doses & had confirmed measles IgG prior to illness, but had also been treated w rituximab years earlier. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

my dad is a VP of sales at an electrical equipment company. his best employee’s parents (mom, dad, stepdad) were all detained by ICE in Dallas last night while they were at the GROCERY STORE. THE GROCERY STORE. thankfully he has located his parents and has an attorney now but FUCK ICE.

“Why are so many kids getting long covid” idk maybe because repeat infections of a virus with neurotropic effects during development will do that

fire them both #fireandrewhuberman

caturday @publichealthguy1.bsky.social

Superstars/Nobel winners will get job offers from everywhere. They do anyway. We should be focused on the average student, postdoc and lab tech whose life is going to be turned upside down by all of this. They have nowhere to go. Let's write stories about that.

Hate to say it but I feel like these are consequences of no child left behind + cutting health class and sex ed in many red states bring back health class. also bring back drivers ed

Isn’t this literally like, the first episode of the show Inside Job on Netflix

Santa Ono did his best to destroy our university’s DEI programs then resigned to go to Florida. Turns out his prior DEI support means they don’t want him either. No spine means no job.

They're literally doing the meme

how it feels to be a virologist in Florida rn

I was thinking of waiting until next cycle to apply for phds but now I’m thinking of pulling the trigger and applying now (straight out of undergrad). Thoughts? hate stat comparing but I have ~3.5yrs research experience in 3 diff labs, 1 pub out and 2-3 more coming, but pretty low GPA (3.3).

Breaking news: Contradicting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC continues to recommend the coronavirus vaccines for healthy children, according to new documentation posted to the agency's website.

Daily gym reminder: Do you want to wipe your own ass in 30-50 years, or do you want the CNA who makes $15/hr and has 10 other patients to be wiping your ass? Yeah that’s what I thought get in there

DOWN WITH THERMO FISHER AND DOWN WITH TARIFFS

So, how long do we think these tariff surcharges at science supply companies are gonna last given the current funding issues ? Like you’re raising prices and people don’t have access to money so…..

CDC Flu @CDCFlu CDC estimates seasonal #flu has caused at least 47 million illnesses, 21 million medical visits, 610,000 hospitalizations, and 27,000 deaths as of May 17, 2025. Full report here: bit.ly/4k5TtR7

TODAY I AM CAUSING A RUCKUS

The federal government is a rogue anti-vax entity that wants American children to die easily preventable deaths.

not my usual post but any tips for dealing with heat intolerance? i feel like im going through menopause in my 20s here

Does anyone know approximately how many scientists the US federal government funds per year (across all agencies, including people supported by grants and fed workers)? Or where I could find this information?

for your profile banners!!!!!! go go go!!!!!!!!! @standupforscience.bsky.social

peep the new banner 👀 (sadly not as funny as karaoke bar bathroom graffiti. but important.)

Dorks, it’s time to throw sand in the gears. They want us to stop teaching, we will teach in the streets. They want us to stop our research, we will use archival data. They want to send us back to the dark ages, we will be a light. We will not lay down and take this.
