We stood up for science in Denver today! My daughter designed her own sign, and we went to the capitol building to talk about democracy and standing up for what you believe in. ❤️ #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

Great speakers and signs at the Stand up for Science rally today. #standupforscience

Federal funding for first 100 days after inauguration.

Having grown up in South Dakota, I have followed Kristi Noem’s corruption for years. Her firing feels like Christmas morning after her chaos and cruelty this past year. Might even pop some champagne tonight! 🥂

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

We are in the Find Out phase.

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

We are pleased to present The Forum's new all-DU editorial team: Editors-in-Chief Sara Chatfield (@poliscisara.bsky.social) & Seth Masket (@smotus.bsky.social), and Book Editor Phil Chen (@pcs2k.bsky.social). Please see author instructions on our website: www.degruyterbrill.com/journal/key/...

I know I’m a good reviewer because authors always thank me for my helpful comments.

This is bleak.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers. The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

Hard not to worry that this isn't another attempt by OMB's Russell Vought to override Congress's power of the purse. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

No it cannot. This is a must read from Naomi Oreskes. Private money cannot replace public funding of science | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thanks to the Nature team for digging into this. Apportionment is one of those inside-baseball issues that I hoped never to need to learn about... But here was are.

These numbers are devastating to scientists in training. The lack of K and F awards will decimate the future of science if these award numbers don’t pick up fast.

On 3/7 @standupforscience.bsky.social is hosting our National Day of Action to Save Science, Protect Health, and Defend Democracy which means there's going to be a lot of...shit. Yeah. Last year, we spent over $15k on portapotties. THIS YEAR, YOU CAN SPONSOR ONE AND WE WILL PUT YOUR NAME ON IT!

@thebalelab.bsky.social Is a mother’s struggle passed down to her child forever? The science is in, and it’s full of hope. 🧬 Dr. Tracy Bale discusses how therapy and healthy coping can actually "rewrite" biological tags. 🕊️🙏 #HealingTrauma #AndNowLove #Epigenetics #Hope #MentalWellness

I had to renegotiate my F99/K00 award twice in 6 months, and on both occasions I asked what specifically “DEI activities” means. I didn’t get clear answers, so I was hopeful the person that directive came from could specify (the NIH Director). I asked the on @whyshoulditrustyou.bsky.social podcast

Breaking News: Immigration agents arrested a Columbia University student after misrepresenting themselves to access a building, the school said. nyti.ms/4u2Z0xw

DHS officers enter Columbia dorm pretending to be searching for a missing person, instead detain a student

Neuroscience undergrad abducted at 6:30am. No judicial warrant. ICE lied to gain entry into the residence. State-sanctioned kidnapping. And I’m supposed to somehow teach class this afternoon?

Kicking millions of people off food stamps and making the largest cut to SNAP in history does not lift up Americans or make groceries affordable. It makes it more difficult, and nearly impossible, for families to put food on the table.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

This piece by @jeneeninterlandi.bsky.social is one for the ages. The damage Donald Trump (under the guidance of Russell Vought) has done to biomedical research is profound and will be long-lasting. It is a national tragedy to be measured in the sick and the dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trust-...

Reading this story—about how the Pentagon has been given so much extra money it's struggling to spend it all—while thinking about the formerly homeless tenants I've spoken with in recent weeks whose housing vouchers are being discontinued for "lack of funds."

When Minnesotans were talking about “not letting this happen to our neighbors,” this is the heartbreaking “this” they meant

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I’m beyond excited to share my first author (shared authorship) paper, “Associations of neighborhood deprivation and household income during pregnancy on child externalizing and internalizing problems,” now published in Development and Psychopathology! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both. n.pr/46QDn9p

Rent assistance is a HUGE need right now. People have drained their savings in hiding for months and now they’re losing their homes too. If you need ideas about where to send your money:

When chatbots are given complete information on medical conditions, they typically spit out correct diagnoses and recommendations. Actual patients, however, often describe their conditions with incomplete or irrelevant information and the chatbots cannot handle it. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I've heard directly from hundreds of children at Dilley. One young girl who shared her story with me grew up in the United States and her stepfather is a U.S. citizen. She said that the guards are mean to her, she is afraid, and that she is worried she will die in detention.
