Shout out to Birmingham, Alabama and Utqiaġvik (Barrow), Alaska! 🎉

Let's celebrate #BrainAwarenessWeek by making brain science feel more human. Neuroscientists: introduce yourself below! If you’re not a neuroscientist: give them a wave and ask a question!

Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we’re proud to honor all the incredible women in the Parkinson’s community. 🩵 We see you, we appreciate you, and we’re here for you. Parkinson.org/Women

You all are looking fantastic!! Brilliant Science Fighters, we need YOU to get out there with us TODAY!!! Visit standupforscience.net/march7 to find your local rally!! #March7 #rally #standupforscience #science #savescience

Public pressure and threat of impeachment helped get Noem out. This is why we are pushing for impeachment of RFK, because that kind of pressure works. @standupforscience.bsky.social #standupforscience #savelives #removerfkjr

If luge can be a winter Olympic sport can we get competitive water sliding in the summer games?

Can Punxsutawney Phil tell us when the government will reopen? JW

This is amazing! I so want to do this when I start my own lab if I can!

speaker: any questions me in my mind: yes how did you get funding for this

Me heading into lab to feed my cells: Circa 2026

New computational paper from the lab! Thanks to the reviewers for helping us improve this paper from the preprint version and Nucleic Acids Research for a smooth publication process.

Researchers have developed polymeric nanocultures composed of iron-oxide nanoparticles, providing a field-ready approach for cultivating and studying environmental microbes under near-native conditions. Learn more in this week’s issue of #ScienceAdvances: https://scim.ag/4r90UuS

Inspiration is found everywhere

Day 14 of government shutdown: I think I’m starting to miss the NIH geese. I hope they’re doing well.

While we cannot control the whirlwind around, I remain hopeful that justice, integrity, and truth will ultimately prevail.

Great, bipartisan perspective on RFK’s comments

The mRNA vaccines were miraculous. It lost public trust because there was a calculated campaign to undermine it. Jay Bhattacharya, RFK & Vinay Prasad were all accomplices in destroying trust in vaccines & science in general. More people will die as a result. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I can’t believe it- I’m nearly a year into my postdoc but loving every moment of it with these people 🥰

I want it on the record that I went to Trader Joe’s and ONLY bought 1 (ONE) thing. Plz be proud of me.

Your research hits differently when you realize findings from it can lead to therapies that can help your own mom. Note: she’s okay- this is in the context of microglial activation.

Breaking news: The National Institutes of Health has ceased terminating grants on politically sensitive topics after a federal judge ruled last week that the cancellations were illegal. scim.ag/4l9MO8Y

You know what’s fantastic? In the midst of everything that is happening the lab team keeps knocking it out of the park. Seriously - I give them impossible tasks and they just… Deliver. Amazing stuff.

To everyone still reviewing papers right now: thank you. It's a lot to give up your time, for free, amidst everything. The scientific process remains as important as ever, and yet it's extra tough to serve in this capacity when our mental bandwidth is so limited.

GOOD NEWS! The NIH guide notice prohibiting grantees from engaging in or promoting DEI activities or from engaging in "prohibited boycotts" (such as BDS) has been rescinded!!!! grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I just signed.

Never in a million years did I think my “Girls just want to have funding for scientific research” sweatshirt, would turn into a political statement. I’m just trying to study the brain, and that costs money😂😆

REMINDER.....REMINDER......REMINDER 3 DAYS LEFT TO COMMENT ON SCHEDULE F 1/n

Today, NIH Fellows United and our colleagues walked out of NIH Director Jayanta Bhattacharya’s Town Hall. Dr. Bhattacharya's tenure at NIH has been marked with damaging cuts to NIH personnel and biomedical research funding.

This and not worrying about my cells because my AMAZING coworkers are taking care of them while I’m out of town. (Seriously, thank you amazing coworkers.)

In this time of uncertainty we are certain that we are committed to ending #Alzheimer and #Dementia so here are a few #Sciencerockstar sightings for you from the #NACC #ADRCSpringMeeting in #SFO

Our of office message: I'm sorry I won't be responding to emails today. I'm out in the garden, healing my tired soul with dirt and sunshine

I just found my new favorite gif- possibly ever to exist. And you’re welcome in advance.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

President Donald Trump today asked Congress to make massive and unprecedented cuts to the 2026 budgets of major federal science agencies. scim.ag/3Yszqnm

As scientists, we sometimes push boundaries (ethically of course) to pursue quality research- that’s why earlier this week I loaded 515 ul into a tube with max capacity of 500 ul. #Innovation

Me in lab at 7pm on a Friday evening? Why yes- I will unashamedly dance out to Sleep Token in the cell culture room. Thank you very much.

PRESSURE WORKS!!!!!! @standupforscience.bsky.social

This is great!!

Asking for ideas

My quote of the day Faith and science can be united in charity if science is put at the service of the men and women of our time, and not distorted to their detriment or even destruction. Pope Francis, June 2024

Honestly, me too.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

👇👇👇

There's a circulating rumor that no studies have ever compared vaccinated to unvaccinated children when investigating autism risk. That's simply false. Here are just a few of the many high-quality studies that have made this comparison—and found no link ⬇️

i did it!! i did all the laundry ever!!! we'll never have to do laundry again!!! today is the best d—[THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED]

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"
