Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥 We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪 Listen wherever, or watch on Spotify 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/7Evh...

To be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

In the wise words of my 9 year old: “Mom, your lab isn’t a group of good people…they are AWESOME people” #luckyPI

@juliametraux.bsky.social is looking for scientists and medical doctors to discuss how inflammation is being misused under the MAHA umbrella. #academicsky #medsky #sciencesky #immunology #publichealth #hiscisky

Excited to introduce the first ‘Dr.’ from the Gibson Lab! Congrats Dr. Mehl 👏🏻🥳👏🏻🥳👏🏻🥳👏🏻🥳👏🏻🥳👏🏻

Really going all-in for the ‘Worst NIH Director’ Award

I listened to Bhattacharya on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast. If you want to know how it went, see the following email that I just sent. 1/13

It’s Thursday…these things are supposed to happen on Fridays. Don’t they remember their schedule of screwing over science!

This NIH grant Multi-Year Funding ploy really makes you wonder what equally obscure and equally harmful stuff Vought is advancing across all the other functions of federal government, doesn’t it?

Some journals are claiming that you need to pay big $$ for gold open access to comply with NIH's new public access policy. FYI that is total bs. You can comply by depositing the Accepted Manuscript into PubMed Central on the Date of Publication without embargo. Pass it on.

It isn’t even Friday….

This is a catastrophe in the making gizmodo.com/rfk-jr-says-...

An important reminder as to why basic research is important! We can’t get to clinical breakthrough without it! @marionbuckwalter.bsky.social

Being part of the myelin field has been the most rewarding aspect of my scientific career ❤️

Postdoc positions available in my lab @ki.se Sweden - exciting science, fantastic environment and great quality of life. I take mentoring seriously - 7/7 postdocs that left my lab has faculty positions today. Existing datasets and funds to build new ones available. ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

Major strides in pediatric cancer treatments and cures, the results of decades of federal investment in basic biomedical research 💪

For anyone not familiar with GRFPs: these are fellowships awarded TO THE STUDENT. They're NOT awarded to an institution or tied to a particular project. Many GRFPs are earned with an application written before a student has submitted any grad school applications.

🧪 #neurology #neuroskyence tinyurl.com/bp5d8386 Another beautiful example of NIH-SPONSORED bedside to bench and back to bedside work from an outstanding clinician scientist. This work is producing some of the most compelling responses to treatment in what is arguably the worst pediatric brain tumor.

DeLauro nails it. This is illegal impoundment. Every last dollar that was appropriated by Congress for the NIH that has been "saved" needs to spent on its intended purpose: scientific research for the benefit of the American people.

I cannot stress enough how amazing @soyonhonglab.bsky.social is as a scientist, mentor, and person! Do yourself a favor and apply! Heck, at the rate the US is going on the science front, I might be applying 😉

I literally hate everything about that man…

NIH Director Jay Battacharya talking to Science magazine, right before the interview was cut short by an aide.

The current administration’s narrative that Harvard (and all universities) feel “entitled” to federal dollars misleads the public. Nor are these funds a “privilege” 1/n

Trump's budget: We're cutting your health care and cancer cures to pay to deport your nurse assistant and cancer researcher.

President Donald Trump and his administration have gutted science agencies, terminated research programmes and cancelled billions of dollars in grants to universities. A feature in Nature examines the long-term impacts for the US and the world. #Academicsky 🧪

We need more of this from our elected leaders….like A LOT more….like NOW

SB 829 would create a new state agency, the California Institute for Scientific Research, to fund research in biomedicine, public health, climate, oceanography, coastal ecosystems sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/trump-g...

BREAKING: Reports that Trump would try to cut NIH's budget by 40% have come true. The request released moments ago would: - Cut $18 BILLION to NIH's $47b budget - Eliminate NIMHD, NCCIH, FIC - Collapse ICs into five 'focus areas' There's also a long screed about NIH's deficiencies.

🤯 Fridays are the worst day of the week these days…

Researchers transferred bacteria from the guts of multiple sclerosis patients and their healthy twins to mice. In susceptible mice, the microbes Eisenbergiella tayi and Lachnoclostridium caused multiple sclerosis-like disease. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

If you study anything related to #RAS signaling or treat people with RAS-associated genetic conditions (Noonan syndrome spectrum disorders), we invite you to attend the 9th International #RASopathies Symposium JULY 25-27, 2025 #pedsky #medsky #oncosky #rare info: rasopathiesnet.org/symposia/

Here's the video; thanks to folks who sent it to me. Pls watch to the end; it heats up about 2/3 of the way through, but of course, the true impact is in how comprehensive the damage to public health is - watching it all will give you a fuller sense of the s* we're in. youtu.be/8H34jcpEsFs?...

New: Elite Universities Form Private Collective to Resist Trump Administration Separate from the public dissent, a group of school leaders are strategizing behind the scenes about how to respond and push back against the White House @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

The Ohio State University Faculty Council voted 35-11 on April 24, 2025 to join the Big Ten "mutual defense compact" that would support the defense of academic freedom. They join universities of IL, IN, IA, MD, MN, NE, OR, WA, WI, Michigan State, Northwestern, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers, UCLA, USC.

Just going to leave this here for awhile. Take note.

Northwestern just announced that the university will meet the funding needs of any research that is being impacted by stop orders. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO! #edusky #academicsky wgntv.com/evanston/nor...

No…just no

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

More of this please 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
