We are running community engagement events around Chicago this week and enjoying telling folks about our RNAi yeast larvicides.

Graduation celebration for our seniors, Jackson and Suhas! Thanks for all your efforts over the years!

🚨SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE: TRUMP’S FIRST 100 DAYS 🚨 In his first 100 days, Trump has declared war on science—slashing budgets, censoring facts, and meddling in research. From climate to cancer care, real lives are at risk. Here’s a thread on Trump’s assault on science so far—and why it matters: (🧵)

Great picture-fest from South Bend Tribune: Photos: Thousands of local protestors gather for 'Hands Off!' rally www.southbendtribune.com/picture-gall...

@maddow.msnbc.com this was @handsoff in Santa Cruz, CA. It reminded me of one of your stories from last week about putting tariffs on an island of penguins!

Hands off stretches down 933 in South Bend! @standupforscience.bsky.social

Hands Off in South Bend

“These professional podcasters stand in front of a bunch of career scientists and say ‘What has science ever done?’ I don’t know, science eradicated measles until two months ago...” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

@maddow in interview with Dr. David Kessler (@davidkessler.bsky.social) just revealed that Trump just fired the man who likely saved his life when he was hospitalized with Covid-19.

Some words of encouragement from Dr. Tom Frieden, former Director of CDC. www.linkedin.com/posts/tom-fr...

We are excited to announce our official partnership with @indivisible.org for the National Day of Action on April 5th! Stand Up for Science says: HANDS OFF OUR SCIENCE! #standupforscience #handsoffourscience Find and register for an event near you: handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s...

The Scheel lab had a lovely breakfast chat with visiting speaker Hillary Ranson this morning.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

🚨 Over 70 graduate programs in the biological and biomedical sciences have frozen or slashed admissions. The consequences are profound—how many brilliant minds are being shut out of research entirely? How much future discovery is being lost before it even begins? docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

So proud of our post docs Teresia, Majidah and Akilah presenting at the Notre Dame Eck Institute for Global Health Research Day

I recently interviewed @jpflores.bsky.social about being one of the organizers for @standupforscience.bsky.social, the future of the movement, and advice for early-career scientists interested in advocating for science. Check out the interview here: wp.me/pcJ9aZ-4D

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Reduction of #science continues at the EPA. It will hamper clean water & wastewater improvements, air quality monitoring, the cleanup of toxic industrial sites, etc. 🎁 gift access link in reply @standupforscience.bsky.social

Unfortunately, there was another round of FUNDED grants cancelled yesterday. These illegal cuts stop projects that have been in progress for years, interrupt lifesaving research, and destroy the public good of science in the US. If you were impacted, please share you story with us: fedfreeze.org

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Hey SUFS Community! If you fall into one of the following categories and are willing to talk to press (on or off the record), please comment/DM us: 1. Had a funded grant revoked 2. Are considering moving abroad to continue your research 3. Have been impacted by the stoppage of a clinical trial

Thousands of protesters gathered in Washington on Friday for Stand Up for Science, a rally to protest the Trump administration’s drastic cuts to the federal work force and to federally funded science. nyti.ms/3DruZlu

Got ideas to help Stand Up For Science? We need to keep this momentum!

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

The @standupforscience.bsky.social DC rally is on. What we are hearing from around the country: "this is big!" "biggest rally I have seen around here in years and years" The public cares about medical research--and students, GenZ, and other people too are ready to stand up.

The AP claim that the crowd was only “a couple thousand” seems entirely erroneous to me. I was there, it was closer to 5000.
