I’m getting some negativity from some folks saying they can’t do this or everyone won’t participate. Well I say something is better than nothing even if you just partially participate. Also don’t worry about what other folks are doing take care of you.

I hope we never forget what the department of government efficiency and the rest of the anti-science administration did to science. The loss of productivity, the loss of jobs, careers held back. We can’t let it go as a minor blip. This was/is hugely disruptive.

People on twitter are losing their minds over this, including several scientists who I have to assume have either brain poisoned themselves or were always like this. People don't always cite what's best; they cite what they know & researchers from historically excluded communities get the short end.
