This isn’t just about NIH or NSF, it’s not about biology vs math/physics vs health outcomes research, not about intramural or extramural.

This is a coordinated attack on ALL US science. The gov’t / academia partnership IS what makes US science. They’re trying to end all science research.
Everybody (me included) is getting bogged down on the details of events at NIH et al. Fatal mistake. The big picture is Musk/Trump are trying to shut down all gov-funded Medical/Disease research in the US. Have to understand that to have any hope of stopping it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/act-now

Want to speak out on Trump/Musk's impacts on your research, work, health and safety? Do you have a call to action to share with the UMass community?

We're looking for people to speak at tomorrow's Stand Up For Science Rally. DM or email us at gradstemcaucusumass@gmail.com!

We'll be meeting every Tuesday all semester from 5:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. in Worcester (yes, where the food is) in room 339. Come help us figure out how to deal with *gestures vaguely* all this nonsense.

Can't make it in person? Join us over Zoom: umass-amherst.zoom.us/j/96372957402

Are you a STEM grad student @ UMass Amherst who's worried about your funding drying up / your lab closing / your research becoming illegal / the dramatic rise of fascism in the U.S.? Do you want to do something about it?Join us for our 1st meeting this Monday February 24th at 5:30 in Arnold House.
