The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

Watching this video 10 times has significantly improved my mood.

HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈 Under Trump, research using terms like “Trans,” “LGBTQ,” & “Gender identity” is being defunded. These terms reflect real people who deserve science that includes them. Stand with us to protect LGBTQ+ science from political erasure. grant-watch.us/nih-data.html @rcmedphys.bsky.social

Absolutely horrible. I may not live there anymore but I'm a Californian at heart. I voted for Newsome to avoid this. I hope my CA friends and family, especially the many scientists I know, will stand up to this disgrace.

I looked through some of the public comments and was distressed (but not surprised) by the amount of anti-vax comments. There was so much pseudo-science in these comments so please comment and say that COVID vaccines are good for us!

🚨 New teaching resources on museum genomics and conservation are now available! 🧬🦴🌿 I'm thrilled to share a project that has been a year in the making and is very close to my heart. doi.org/10.5531/cbc....

Jay is the lead author on a fascinating paper I was involved in, about how male mimicry by female hummingbirds provides the first example of a type of signaling system that we predicted from theoretical principles over a decade ago. This is infuriating. And I believe it's due to anti-trans bias.

Honestly, me too.

Thousands of people showed up in ABQ today to fight against fascism. There were some many great speakers but the highlight of the event for me was chanting "Sí se puede" alongside Dolores Huerta.

"A second tariff has hit the World Trade Center."

On April 5, SUFS is uniting with organizations all across the US to say Hands Off! Join us to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. Learn about the local event happening in ABQ here: handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s...

WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language. The results tell us a lot! Extracts below... 🧵

OK maybe funnier.

We are deeply concerned by the broad cuts at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), outlined in a recent Executive Order. The IMLS is a beloved and trusted federal agency that plays a crucial role in helping cultural institutions educate, entertain, and engage visitors. 🧵

When funding’s uncertain, so are futures.

Here's what I said if you need a script: "Hello, my name is X, I am a constituent living in Y County. I am calling to urge Senator Z to VOTE NO on cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Cooperating with Republicans will not avoid a shutdown. We are already in the middle of an illegal...

The United States government just disappeared a lawful US resident because it didn't like his speech. You should care about this because it shouldn't happen to anyone, but you should also care because it could happen to you. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/n...

Proud to say that we ran a successful rally in Santa Fe! About 200 people came out in support, and this is just the beginning of our movement. Thank you to all who contributed to this success, particularly my co-organizers, @faheypsych.bsky.social @matwmccool.bsky.social and @cgillezeau.bsky.social

NM Stand up for Science made the news!!! Huge props to @ninachristie.bsky.social for leading the charge and to everyone else who came together to make today possible 🥼🔬

Stand up for Science, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Hey you! If you're heading out to a @standupforscience.bsky.social rally today and want to keep the energy going after the event's over, here's something you can do: Print out some of these flyers with our policy goals and share them wherever you can! Here's a PDF: drive.google.com/file/d/1V_Gh...

I'll be heading up to Santa Fe today to advocate for science and diversity!

My first paper as a member of the Manthey lab is out in Biology Letters! We used whole genome data from a classic "great speciator" (the Solomon Island White-eyes) to explore the relationship between island size and genetic diversity. doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

BIG NEWS for @standupforscience.bsky.social New Mexico! The Governor of New Mexico officially signed a proclamation declaring Friday March 7th, 2025 as Stand Up For Science Day!! @govmlg.bsky.social I stand for science, New Mexico stands for science. I'd like to know, what do you stand for?

New Mexico Stand up for Science is 1 DAY AWAY!!! Will you be there? @standupforscience.bsky.social

This is Alaska and Hawaii erasure. The more I look at this, the more I cringe. Utah as Northwest? New Mexico lumped with Texas? Calling all of California Southwest?? There is so much wrong here

This map makes me mad

This is a disappointing (but not surprising) development out of UA. I'm a UAF alumnus (M.Sc.) and while I was there, I could see how political the Board of Regents was. For context, the BoR are appointed by the governor, Dunleavy, who is a notorious MAGA and Trump fan.

Albuquerque friends! ☀️ Head over to Gravity Bound Brewing on March 2nd at 2 PM for a sign making party for Stand Up for Science! Bring your poster boards and lab coats and get creative! #standupforscience2025 #scienceforall

🚨 WANT TO HELP US STAND UP FOR SCIENCE? 🚨 Here's a little update on where we're currently at with the planning process! Is your state red or grey & you want to see an event happen? Fill out our volunteer form or share with a friend! airtable.com/app4h5wUssMG... #standupforscience2025

Hey fellow University of Alaska folk! You pissed about this, especially given that at basically the same time a judge issued an injunction against implementing those EOs? Guess what, you can email the chancellor for your university + the BoR!

Comments being taken until March 17, 20, and 20 respectively. CIS people, now is your time to step forward and say something.

The 60s wasn't that long ago y'all. I was born in the 70s. To think we could reverse these centuries long issues in 50-60 years is ridiculous. Tl:dr: we still need race-based scholarships, prizes, student services, etc because we still have race-based issues in education in the US. End🧵
