Keep telling myself, just one more minute before I'm out the door, and oh my goodness, so glad I have waited. More great words about the Rev Jackson and:

Opal Staples is *SUPERB*. What a gorgeous voice.

With the steady stream of unconstitutional attacks from Trump, RFK Jr, Vought and others in this administration, there’s a lot to stand up against. So get your main issue on a sign and join us!

Stand Up for Science is devoted to holding this administration accountable and fighting for scientific truth, and most programming will focus on that. This fight is also a fight for the future of democracy.

NATIONAL DAY of ACTION VIRTUAL ONLINE SATURDAY, MARCH 7TH, 12:00PM - 3:00PM

We're hosting a virtual rally for those who are not able to attend a March 7th National Day of Action event in person. We don't think structural barriers should prevent anyone from being able to participate in a movement that directly impacts their lives.

Densely packed fossil burrows in a gray limestone that look like pipes, some branching into "Y" shapes, and with knobby (pelleted) exteriors, with circular cross-sections.

For #FossilFriday, fossil ghost-shrimp burrows (ichnogenus Ophiomorpha) in Pleistocene limestone (125,000 years old), San Salvador Island, The Bahamas 🇧🇸. Co-leading a spring-break field course there with students from Emory & Oxford College of @emoryuniversity.bsky.social starting tomorrow. 🧪🪨⚒️🏝️🌊🐠🌿🦀

Truly disappointed to have to stop watching. Looking forward to catching the rest on the recorded version (here or on @c-span.bsky.social).

Me, too!!

Excited and honored to speak at the @standupforscience.bsky.social rally in DC tomorrow!

I hope to see you all out there, standing up for science (and democracy!) together. It is going to take all of us working in solidarity to demand a science that serves all of us.

At NIH, this is being enforced top down from Bhattacharya, Memoli, and Lorsch.

13/ “The categories of people I am being asked to remove from grants share the same identities of people being forcibly removed, detained, and killed in our country...

12/“I spent five hours creating a justification for why the word the screening tool picked up was a false positive - I was told my judgment was wrong. When I asked to document that my decision was overruled I was told that the decision memo could not include “dissenting language.”

11/ ...When people are being shot, detained inhumanely, deported, and abused for having the same identities we are removing from grants, it is abundantly clear we are participating in hate.”

9/ I also want to note that this censorship process is blatantly discriminatory, and so it really weighs on my heart and the hearts of many of my colleagues who are being forced to carry this out from the inside.

I want to share these quotes from some of my colleagues:

7/ In reality, my colleagues still inside NIH tell me that their assessments are largely ignored.

Once a grant or application is picked up by the tool, they are almost never able to move the grant forward as is - regardless of the scientific justification.

5/ Right now, they are arguing in court that they have replaced the old, unlawful process.

But my colleagues inside say this is false.

NIH isn't actually following the new processes they laid out.

Current NIH leadership want you to think they are using rigorous, consistent & scientific processes to screen studies to align them with agency priorities.

But the process that they have put down on paper is a sham.

It’s important to know NIH is not following its own guidance. Here’s why:

A compilation of fossil images and sketches depicting the anatomy, size, behavior, and various poses of the ancient proboscidean Numidotherium, made by Joschua Knuppe.

The very very silly early elephant-ancestor, Numidotherium. Had sprawled forelimbs, likely a small proboscis, and males had a big forehead potentially for bashing into each other.

🎤 We are pleased to introduce Mária Lepiš Valigová at our congress! ✨ Now she is presenting: “Clay Stamps in the Context of Women’s Visual Identity in the Eastern Hallstatt Culture”

🎤Mária Lepiš Valigová is a PhD student at the Institute of Archaeology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Comenius University in Bratislava (Slovakia). Her research focuses on gender archaeology within the Eastern Hallstatt culture.

This study examines clay stamps in the Eastern Hallstatt culture as tools of female visual identity. Analysis of grave and settlement finds suggests they had both everyday and symbolic functions, highlighting their importance in gendered communication.
