You don’t praise the people who were unsuccessful in their attempts to fully dismantle a scientific infrastructure it took 80 years to build. You praise the people who successfully resisted some of the dismantling

I started @standupforscience.bsky.social because I believe in science and democracy and I’ve continued SUFS because I believe science can AND SHOULD be better.

Spoke with a PI whose postdoc is trapped abroad because of social media vetting. It appears the postdoc missed disclosing one account and it's unclear if they can come back… ever.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.
