Ozempic, MRI machines and flat screen televisions all emerged out of fundamental research decades earlier — the very types of study being slashed by the US government

Ever wonder how fruit flies can be used to help uncover novel therapies for #AlcoholUseDisorder? My new paper with @karlakaun.bsky.social describes a behavioral assay pipeline using #Drosophila that can be used to screen new treatments and to investigate the mechanism of currently available drugs.

Always a delight guessing what the next realized nightmare will be

With a shutdown looming, one thing is clear: this is a standoff over the future of science. Everything from science funding and research, to public health and wellness, to managing emergency situations will be affected by what our leaders decide to put first: people or politics.

feel the need to publicly document that this week commemorated my 2 year labiversary in the Egervari lab and my first week as a research specialist!! 🥃🧠🧬👩🏻‍💻🎊

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research.

Scientists’ role in defending democracy www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Let's all support this vital need: the ability to tell the truth. 💪

"Those in the science community who are willing & able to be more visible can step up. Acting together will be more impactful than going it alone."

I've been blacklisted from using Google Scholar on my phone. First thought was ha life/work balance hint, now it's been months and still ?? SOS

“Science + medicine … are about service—science being service to knowledge… medicine being service to other people and their health. Both are about telling the truth” www.atsjournals.org/doi/full/10....

When political power silences science, we all lose. From climate to health, anti‑science agendas erode progress.

Scientists, institutions, and leaders must speak up - or risk letting ideology undermine academic freedom and evidence-based discovery.

I created a brief spreadsheet of reductions I've heard of so far. Any additions you know of (especially if you have the links/receipts) would be great: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I think one thing that the general public doesn’t fully grasp yet is that American science funding was already teetering on the edge before all this started.
