You want to save Whales?
You want to save the Clean Water Act?
You want to save Medicaid?

Be brave. Fight.
Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
ELEVEN DAYS LEFT TO SAVE DEMOCRACY.
Florida special elections in district 1 and 6 on APRIL 1st.
If DEMOCRATS. Show up to vote it could be the best April fools prank in history.
Remember, YOUR VOTE COULD BE THE DECIDING VOTE.
Porsha Ngumezi was killed by Texasβ abortion ban after doctors refused her a D&C to treat the miscarriage she suffered at 11 weeks gestation. She leaves behind a husband and two sons. www.cbsnews.com/news/grievin...
The department of education administers federal student loans. Our children need those funds for higher education. We all benefit from a well educated population.
In 15 yrs of reporting, I've never had so many health & biomed researchers & outreach orgs tell me they're afraid to talk w/press or barred from speaking bc of new comms policies.
I understand the fear of losing funds. I don't know if silence does more harm than good. If you can speak up, pls do.
Absolute ghouls
Anyone who cares about #IMLS, but more importantly #intellectual_freedom and critical thinking, must read this latest piece by @heykellyjensen.bsky.social: bookriot.com/imls-propaga... #defendlibraries
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
βI hate to predict things like thatβ¦β Unfortunately most economists think the unpredictable tariffs will have no short or long term benefits for the US economy. The boycotts will make things worse for the US.
Together with fellow @biologists.bsky.social EiCs we've written about the unprecedented cuts & policy changes to research in the US
We stand with our US colleagues during this challenging time
Science transcends bordersβsetbacks in one nation affect us all

X post by Associated Press (@AssociatedFress ), featuring a verification badge and a "Follow" button. The text of the post reads, "Former McDonaldβs Employee Opens Car Dealership." The attached image shows a person in a blue suit with a red tie standing with arms outstretched in front of a red Tesla car parked on a driveway. In the background, there is a white building with columns, partially covered by a white canopy, and some greenery. The scene appears to be staged humorously, suggesting a connection to the White House or a similar official building.
Itβs actually true.
Former NIH director Dr. Harold Varmus joins us to discuss what cuts to the institutesβ staff and research funding could mean for science.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR.
In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.
Happening now outside John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis! We arenβt letting them quietly destroy the VA! @votevets.org
I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, youβre fired!
New ride coming soon.
Extraordinary moment β Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
As Orwell predicted.
But our work is far from doneβscience is still under attack.
Weβve got ideas, but we want to hear from you. Whatβs worrying you most? What should we do next? How can we grow this movement together?

First and foremost, an incredible THANK YOU to everyone who has supported Stand Up for Scienceβwhether you attended our events, donated, shared, or volunteered. We are so humbled by how many people showed up to support us & all of the passion that people brought with them.
A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar!
Executive Editor of News Brian Barrett on how DOGE is the deep state.
Our tax dollars at work: paying to deploy jack-booted thugs to protect the property of the billionaire who is currently robbing us of our livelihoods and our data every single day.
Thanks for posting. I was headed to the Chronicle site to look for this, but I saw your post first.
BREAKING: The University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University has reneged on their commitment to host the @sciencewriters.org annual conference and withdrew their entire financial support.
The National Association of Science Writers is now looking for a new venue, sponsors, and partners.
Aside from the Stand Up For Science advocacy event and related science advocacy petitions and writing our Congressnal representatives, what can we do to stand up against the current administration's anti-science policies?
