It’s been a year since this post. Life is…so different now. Yet, I’m sitting here on my living room floor, with my cold coffee, in the same robe, playing with my beautiful son. Just like I was when I wrote this. @standupforscience.bsky.social started with a skeet and an idea.

RALLY TO TAKE BACK SCIENCE! 🧪✊🔬 March 7th, 2026 in Washington, DC. We're mobilizing the fight for science and democracy. In the face of assaults on our families, freedoms, and futures, we're taking back science! Learn more at www.standupforscience.net/ma... (linked in bio)

Three reasons out of many to #SaveNCAR. NCAR keeps us informed for extreme weather — and when we are informed, we can prepare. Defunding NCAR leaves us all stranded when it matters the most. It takes 30 secs to take action to #SaveNCAR. Send an email to our elected officials at tr.ee/save-ncar 📲📧

Hi. Hello. AI can't feel. It doesn't experience love. It doesn't experience judgement. This is like saying a screwdriver with a flashlight on it can "see". AI is a calculator, Amanda. But hey, the people who's air and water AI has poisoned by existing CAN feel. I hope this helps.

This is Alex Pretti. This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE. #ScientistsAgainstICE

Alex Pretti was a scientist.

I NEED EVERYONE YO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BUDGET IS NOT THE ISSUE. THIS MONEY IS ABOUT TO BE SPENT ON UNETHICAL PSEUDOSCIENCE.

Congratulations to @standupforscience.bsky.social for receiving a 2025 prize from the 'Union Rationaliste' in France, for their work in service of science and democracy. The award is deserved recognition to the team who propelled this organization in <1 year. union-rationaliste.org/remise-du-pr...

ICE’s actions tear families apart, intimidate communities, & undermine the conditions that make education, research, healthcare, & public trust possible. We’re calling on scientists to join the general anti-ICE strike in Minnesota on January 23rd.

“This cruelty will be measured in lives lost”

Safe to say most scientists, and I think most journalists, disagree with his a view. Good journalism should do its best to represent what science says, rather than treat it as a debate where every view is equally valid and readers just need to figure it out.

Many US scientists have reported a rise in targeted harassment. Here are tools and tips to safeguard your cybersecurity go.nature.com/4jFQnnt

US scientists push back as Trump eyes Greenland An open letter organized by US-based researchers who work in Greenland opposes any takeover of the territory. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This has now become Important Context’s biggest story ever. www.importantcontext.news/p/experts-wa...

“Things are not bad at all.” (Bullet holes in the CDC building)

This is a HUGE win…and one that happened because we ~collectively~ said “NO!” But AAAS coming in and saying on record to the NYT “Science is doing ok. Things are not bad at all…” is baffling. If things are hard for you as a scientist, please share in the comments. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/s...

House passes minibus bill to fund science agencies www.politico.com/news/2026/01... headed to Senate next

The *CATHOLIC CHURCH* is doing a better job standing up to the fascists than nearly every single science organization, society, and institution. That should make you think. This is how it’s done, dorks.

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing. But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

Meanwhile here’s Rubio and Schumer chopping it up today

🧵 Dear CDC political appointees, Jim O'Neil, Ralph Abraham, Stuart Burns, Lynda Chapman, Nina Witkofsky, and Matt Buzzelli. It's a bad flu season. But remember how you kneecapped vaccine promotion campaigns and 🪱🧠 removed flu from the childhood vaccine schedule? edition.cnn.com/2026/01/05/h...

Completely unacceptable, including the danger of suddenly stopping SSRIs if patients lose access.

One of my favorite features of RFK’s Fauci book thus far is his use of charts to collapse across studies that have little underlying shared traits, resulting in captions like a “64% improvement” on no identifiable metric, given they study different things & cannot reasonably averaged.

@degette.house.gov Let me second Colette's suggestion. Waiting for RFK, Jr. to respond, writing strongly worded letters, furrowing brows, won't help. Impeachment action is a next step if you are serious about American public health. FYI. I directed an NIH institute from 2003-2011.

I do not like this!

Urge your Members of Congress to speak out and discourage the Administration from dismantling NCAR 👇 agu.quorum.us/campaign/151... #NCAR #boulder #colorado

New 'First Opinion' piece in @statnews.com... www.statnews.com/2025/12/18/n...

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social. The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others. www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪 #AGU25 #climate

Joe Neguse, who represents Boulder in Congress, tells #AGU25 that "I am not going to let [the dismantling of #NCAR] take place on my watch...we're exploring every legal option available to us." Says he is working across the aisle for a bipartisan solution.

worth noting that NCAR workers are fully in the dark right now. No one was given a heads up and found out about this with the rest of the nation. #NCAR #boulder #colorado

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

They’re stealing from us. They are stealing from us and we have to put a stop to this. This cannot stand.

We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer... @repauchincloss.bsky.social

One thing I'm gonna do is read a damn book that's for sure And I WILL be talking my shit afterwards

The shattering of the social pact between researchers and the government is a harsh reminder that the systems we operate under are far more brittle than we like to tell ourselves. We need to act with fervor, without delay www.statnews.com/2025/12/04/a...

BREAKING‼️ @rephaleystevens.bsky.social files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. for his actions as Health Secretary endangering American lives. This is a huge victory in our fight. Take action with us! #ImpeachRFKJR #Impeachthequack www.standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

House Minority Speaker @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social JUST POSTED THREE DAYS AGO that Bobby has to go...so why isn't he supporting articles against him?????? Let's get riled up, dorks!! bsky.app/profile/hake...

🧵Congrats to @standupforscience.bsky.social activist and leader @cdelawalla.bsky.social for being named one to watch in science by Nature. The world’s leading science journal! Well deserved! www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

This is *despicable* framing. The man is torpedoing science and this is how The Atlantic decides to present it?

RFK is a danger to the health of our nation. Join us in DC to deliver 100k petition signatures calling for RFK Jr. to be impeached! 📣 🚨 911 March for Health and Science! ⏰ November 5th, 3:30pm ET 📍From the National Mall to HHS HQ (200 Independence Ave SW) INFO and RSVP 🔗 in bio!

I’ve learned a LOT this year. One the biggest lessons: don’t mess with our public servants. They are a courageous bunch! A single fed has more character in one of their pinky fingers than the Trump administration has in their entire staff.

Prof. Stacy Farina asks "why don't we bring people [with direct experience of environmental damage] in and hear their perspective and have that drive our science forward?" RFK Jr's ignorance of expertise extends to the people who know the human cost of his mistakes. #impeachrfkjr #impeachthequack

On Sept 17th, 2025, @aaas.org and @researchamerica.bsky.social hosted Jay Bhattacharya—NIH Director—as the keynote for the National Health Research Forum. Less than two weeks later, he spoke at the MAHA Action hour alongside Oz, Russel Brand, Tony Lyons, and Callie Means. I have a call to action:
