NEXT UP: RFK Jr.

His lack of scientific background is one of several concerning aspects of his candidacy.

A clear “NO” on confirmation.

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.

But we don't have enough money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium?

Snowed in ….

Proud of Nicole Castano in my lab for her excellent job on her qualifying exam! #phdstudent #sciencelife

Good news: after 390 years of manels, single-gender events are officially forbidden at Harvard.

Oh. Never mind. Single-gender events are fine as long as all participants are men and occur "accidentally".

Glutamine metabolism gives the immune system precision—quieting inflammation while rebuilding tissue!
Proud of my lab team for this exciting work as we venture into immunometabolism to learn how wound cells are fed!

Thank you for your courage and leadership @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social

You have been an exemplary government employee, standing up against illegal and immoral actions, but doing so within the constraints of a federal official.

You do honor to your oath and to our country.

Courage is Contagious

Every day RFK Jr remains in office, lives are in danger. Take action with us at standupforscience.net/impeac...

Pry this sertraline out of my cold dead hands, you goon ass QUACK.

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.

It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

Ewww newt 👎

Oh hey! The eugenics propaganda machine is acting like a eugenics propaganda machine.

I have NJ @kim.senate.gov and @booker.senate.gov on speed dial and say "vote NO on any bill that includes DHS funding"

Kim's Jersey City office line went to voice mail 201-377-0900

Booker's DC office staffer is answering the phone 202-224-3224

RFK already has been responsible for so many deaths

If you are a scientist funded by NIH and agree that if the HHS/NIH bill is held hostage by linkage for funding to DHS/ICE, we need to shutdown both and save lives, its time to speak up. Right now, with a few exceptions, the silence is deafening

BREAKING: Border Patrol's notorious lead agent, Greg Bovino, is reportedly withdrawing from Minneapolis following public pressure.

The power of the people works — but our communities need safety. We call on Congress to demand ICE and Border Patrol leave Minneapolis now.

A heat map of the US in shades of purple and grey showing where the most letters were sent!

Yesterday, you all sent over 800 letters to House Reps calling on them to co-sponsor articles of impeachment against RFK Jr.!!! Here's a heat map (since you dorks like data lol).

You can do it every day and it takes literally 5 seconds after you've done it once: fight2win.standupforscience.net

Important story from Max Kozlov. Loss without replacement of council members is a serious concerns which could be a huge problem in the future, but this is uncertain.

Every day a new threat. Stay diligent folks. Call your reps!!
