Thank you to @mildobserver.bsky.social from SF Public Press for highlighting the challenges facing researchers in today’s uncertain funding environment. Check out the piece featuring SPG at UCSF leader @sneharao.bsky.social and our colleague @erinmorrow.bsky.social from @scipolucla.bsky.social!

Thanks @mildobserver.bsky.social for taking the time to chat with me, superstar @erinmorrow.bsky.social & others. Our convo was inspired by the McClintock Letters, run by @cornellasap.bsky.social & @snapcoalition.bsky.social, w/ the mission of reconnecting scientists with their hometown communities.

The best group!!! Now is a great time to join us if you’re interested in learning about how to engage in advocacy and policy as a scientist!

SPG hosted our annual Welcome Picnic last week - what an energizing start to the new year! Our group brainstorm/jam board of policy issues and ideas shows a teaser of some of our upcoming events… 👀 Watch this space to check out the new initiatives our members cook up this year!

There's still time to write a McClintock Letter in support of federal funding of research! Interested and don't know where to start? Join this workshop tomorrow, June 6th, at 12 ET ☀️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

As citizens concerned about the future #STEM #workforce, we want to hear stories and impacts of #federal #funding cuts on early career #scientists. Take the surveys by June 6! @scienceforgood.bsky.social @jpflores.rbind.io Impacts survey: bit.ly/3Z1aFPj Stories survey: bit.ly/3Sghx7R #savescience

Great feature! We are so lucky to have collaborators from @pspdg.bsky.social @gator-pase.bsky.social @sciforgood.bsky.social @spgatucsf.bsky.social @scipolnotredame.bsky.social @scipolucla.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social @scopepolicy.bsky.social & more to make #McClintockLetters possible

Still need scientists from #Oklahoma and #Montana, too! @sciforgood.bsky.social @spgatucsf.bsky.social @scipolnotredame.bsky.social @scipolucla.bsky.social @pspdg.bsky.social @gator-pase.bsky.social @scopepolicy.bsky.social @alexlando.bsky.social @hannaherf.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social

Are you interested in writing for the McClintock Letters, but aren't sure where to start? Join us for an Op-Ed workshop led by author and NYT reporter and editor Clay Risen @risenc.bsky.social this Wednesday, May 7th at 4pm ET. Register here to attend on Zoom: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

📣 Federally funded scientists! Now more than ever before, it is critical that we bridge the gap btw scientists & the community to rebuild trust & address misinformation. Join the national #McClintockLetters movement to #DefendResearch, improve #SciComm, & share your scientific story! ⤵️
