🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives.

This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle.

Last week, I had the exhausting honor of serving as lead organizer for Stand Up for Science Texas. Took me a few days to decompress but now I have thoughts to share, and more importantly, awesome pictures to share. buildcognitiveresonance.substack.com/p/standing-u...

“Science is about more than just a procedure with beakers and lab coats. It is a fundamentally democratic enterprise of shared knowledge and curiosity about the world.”
-- Me, last Friday at Stand Up for Science Texas

So awesome to co-organize Austin’s @standupforscience.bsky.social rally! Proud of whole community voicing their concerns about the recent policy decisions affecting critical science funding, ed and institutions. A lot more work to do but great first step! #sciencenotsilence #scienceforall #austintx

"An energetic crowd, filled with people in lab coats, STEM college students and families with young children, erupted in chants of 'science not silence' as they cheered for speakers."

Today's the day Texans and everyone in (& outside!) the US! Come out and support science and share why science (research, education, etc.) is important to you! For me, I want to protect the health of our public and wildlife communities. #standupforscience2025 #sciencenotsilence #scienceforall

An absolutely scorching OpEd by Harold Varmus, Nobel laureate, on Trump's destruction of the vaunted US scientific & biomedical enterprise & on Trump's kooky picks to lead the US health & science agencies

When Scientific American endorsed Harris, many scientists and science-friendly people were supportive and grateful, but some said: stick to science, science isn’t political, etc. But reality-denying right-wing fanatics will absolutely come for the scientists www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a NYT analysis found.

The purges have removed info about vaccines, veterans' care, hate crimes, and scientific research, among many other topics. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...
