Calling research on gender identity “unscientific” and stating “no corrective action is possible here”…this letter should alarm all scientists. The scientific process refers to how you approach answering anything unknown about the natural world around us, not OPINION about the questions asked.
Just received notice that our grant was terminated. 5R24AG066599-03

We @chronicle.com reported on Friday that applications for F31 diversity fellowships had been withdrawn.

Now, multiple scholars tell me their applications have been re-assigned to their original study sections, in a reversal of instructions NIH officials gave reviewers last week. #AcademicSky

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

The censorship begins: According to officials, the Trump administration is instructing health agencies including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.

It’s weird, isn’t it, that Octavia Butler predicted this. Almost beat for beat. I don’t mean to be woo. And prophecy is above my pay grade & outside my expertise. I’m just saying. 😳

I attended a Black tech mixer this week where the panel was evangelizing AI as the future of the workforce. At some point, they asked what the audience’s biggest concerns about AI were. There were four options & none of them considered the environment. 🧪
