Pleased to share this article for @standupforscience.net with @brynnpaulsen.bsky.social discussing the eugenics foundation of the MAHA and MAGA movements. It’s an important thread to name and understand! 😳 substack.com/@sciencefigh...

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

Simply put: Work til you die, and if you can’t work, die quickly.

Well, well, well...

Comment posted. Now we wait.

NEW: The chair of the President’s Cancer Panel, Dr. Harvey Risch, is a co-author on a study touting ivermectin for cancer. The study is backed by two anti-vax orgs, including The Wellness Company, which sells the drug and with which he is affiliated. www.importantcontext.news/p/chair-of-p...

We are working on ways to yell about this, everyone! Today we will have the SUFS Official OMB Comment, our comment guide, and How To Talk To Your Granny About OMB! STAY TUNED!!

Yippeeee

AND WE ARE LIVE... Time for a live-skeeting of the @nationalacademies.org "State of the Science" address by Marcia McNutt. One time I pissed off all the Big Dawgs ™️ in science because I called orgs "stodgy" and they aren't beating the allegations with this waiting music.

HAPPENING SOON!! Register link below!

My comments to @nytimes.com on the "Uniform Regulation." “It means that all grants, not just science grants, are now subject to the rules that are defined by the White House, rather than by a technical agency." said Cole Donovan, the director of science policy and advocacy @standupforscience.net

It's going to take more than a vision of the things we want the future to look like if we're going to rebuild S&T policy in the rubble of today. We're going to need architecture to do it. Huge thanks to @techpolicypress.bsky.social and @justinhendrix.bsky.social for running the piece.

“I’m not a scientist or a policy expert. But I understand this: The drug that kept me alive for my children was built on a foundation of public investment.” Science saves lives.

Baby’s first policy proposal response!

YEP! Wait until you find out how Google was started with a sub $1m NSF grant, GPS was developed with fed funding, we've reduced overdose deaths by 25% with fed funding, and of 354 new medications released between 2010-2019 99.4% of them were started by NIH grants/funded labs.

In its prospectus, SpaceX says it faces the challenge of "managing public and regulatory tolerance for anomalies" during its Starship tests. In other words, explosions. Check out @propublica.org to see how rocket debris disrupted commercial air traffic last year: www.propublica.org/article/spac...

Why are we even concerned with interstellar aliens when THIS guy exists

Congratulations to Dr. bad bitch @cdelawalla.bsky.social

Good! That’s good. Why protect the… environment … as the environmental protection agency 👍

Cool, so NSF is now going to be used to essentially launder money to tech bros because universities are just too cumbersome and disciplinary oversight and regulations and accountability are all just too stifling for innovation. $1.5B for “X-Labs.”

Well, would ya look at that! NSF is going to send >10% of its current budget to industry (read: tech start ups) instead of universities…it’s as if the admin is trying to dismantle our basic science mechanism and use it as a start up fund for private companies 💁🏻‍♀️ www.nsf.gov/tip/updates/...

GET IN, DORKS! It's a watershed moment and we need YOUR HELP. 1/x @standupforscience.net was asked by independent members of the National Academies to support their letter to Congress calling for the reinstatement of the National Science Board. #saveNSB 🔗 www.standupforscience.net/nasem-letter...

Open letter calling for the reinstatement of the National Science Board. This letter is from leaders of the National Academies Note: This does not refer to the leaders on paper such as presidents of the NAS, NAM, and NAE. www.standupforscience.net/nasem-letter... @standupforscience.net

Thousands of scientists call for the reinstatement of the National Science Board 👇

This is so fucking iconic

EXCLUSIVE: @standupforscience.bsky.social sent an investigator to Guinea-Bissau and shared their unpublished findings with members of Congress. I obtained a copy of that report, which details how deeply the researchers are enmeshed - and what that means for US: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

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.
