In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years.
No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism.
Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Roger Marshall, the GOP senator who scampered away from a town hall in Oakley, Kansas, (pop. 1,987) when his constituents asked him about DOGE, likes to cite Dwight Eisenhower as his hero.

This is heart breaking and infuriatingly short sighted. To my NCI colleagues: your work is important and valuable, hang in there
Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.
Strong power move for Team Cancer.

This is, by far, the best and most complete description of what is currently happening to biomedical research in the United States. Derek Lowe normally writes an incredibly level-headed column on drug discovery in academia and the private sector. www.science.org/content/blog...

Q was “what moment of luck had the biggest impact on your academic career” and this has to win the thread
My postdoc was partially funded by a ball of platinum that my mentor found during a lab clean out. Somehow the university treated as unclaimed treasure and he used the proceeds of the sale to cover some of my salary. Postdoc resulted in a little paper that was my most cited and led to 3 books!
