Science is foundational to the San Diego region. Cuts in federal funding will harm STEM training and education and threaten this foundation. Call your congress people and demand NO CUTS to science funding!

Congress is heading home for summer recess, but we will not let up! Join us to unite and demand ZERO CUTS TO SCIENCE in the 2026 budget and NO RESCISSIONS! 🧪✊ #StandUpForScience www.standupforscience.net/31-days-of-a...

It's beens a tumultuous few months to say the least, but it's important to celebrate good news! Congrats to Alyssa Rodriguez & @yesdoc.bsky.social (Lamar Thomas) on their new positions! We are beyond excited & know they will continue to be excellent researchers, teachers, & mentors! 🎉

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong walked on the surface of the moon for the first time. This was an incredible feat fueled by the scientific innovation of NASA. On the heels of this anniversary, please support our colleagues and the core mission of NASA by signing the Voyager Declaration! 🧪🚀

One of our fellows, @fleabrained.bsky.social, is up for a Best Postdoc Mentor Award! (We're not surprised). Please cast your vote and help him get $1K in research funds!

URGENT (& EASY) ACTION: Please call & express your support for NSF & demand no cuts to the 2026 budget. (Note: you do not have to be in Rogers' district - anyone can call as he is the Chairman of the House CJS Subcommittee responsible for marking up the budget). 🧪 #StandUpForScience #NSF

Our EPA colleagues are #StandingUpForScience & need our help! Please read the EPA Declaration of Dissent & sign the public letter of support! Scientific consensus should not be ignored! Progress protecting vulnerable communities should not be reversed! www.standupforscience.net/epa-declarat...

SD IRACDA Education Coordinator & Program Manager @morgan-mouchka.bsky.social explains how illegal termination of funding has impacted SD IRACDA & trainees more broadly. It's important to share our stories more broadly so that people outside of the scientific community understand what's at stake.

Extension of K99/R00 submission dates. PDs check-in with your POs and discuss. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Scientists & friends of scientists! Please sign this open letter to #StandUpForScience & condemn Trump’s EO that calls for political appointees to decide what research should be conducted (and how and by whom) under the guise of ‘rigor and transparency.’ www.standupforscience.net/open-letter-...

Classes are ending, but SCIENCE is still under ATTACK! Join us and #StandUpForScience to let our representatives and leaders know that we will not let the pipeline for STEM education and discovery be dismantled! All members of the community are welcome! #SummerFightForScience

On Wednesday we learned our grant (and those of countless other amazing programs) was terminated. 🧵 1/n

This open letter will be published tomorrow on the AAUP blog. Signatures will be accepted after that, but a high # of signatures in advance will help the organizers gain media attention that could benefit the effort. Share in ways you believe will get results! sites.google.com/view/we-must...

Join research, healthcare, and education workers across the country on Tuesday, April 8th to demand NO cuts to education and research! UCSD rally at noon at Geisel. Not is San Diego? Find a rally near you at killthecuts.org! ✊

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

"university indirect cost rates are analogous to operating expenses divided by R&D expenditures. For 2023, these ratios were 60% for Merck, 138% for Pfizer, and 105% for Roche...cutting governmental indirect costs to 15% for medical research conducted in universities is clearly unfair."🧪⚕️

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Are you a scientist or student heading to a @standupforscience.bsky.social ‬rally this Friday? We want to hear from you. Tell us about yourself and why you’re going, how far you’re traveling, why you’re fired up, and whether there will be car snacks. Call or text us at (646) 767-6532.

Science fuels economic opportunity—creating jobs, driving education, and supporting mobility. We're standing up for science to protect the critical infrastructure that makes this possible. Stand Up for Science with us on March 7th! #scienceforall #standupforscience2025

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

The National Science Foundation benefits communities in every state.

One week until we #standupforscience2025! Get those signs ready! #saveourscience #scienceforall

The chaos and confusion of the Trump administration's science policy is taking its toll on early career researchers. Some prospective PhD students I spoke with have had informal offers rescinded as universities reduce or outright halt their programs. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
