This is what the audience for a Long COVID conference looked like today. Notice anything? 😷

every time sama posts about “you could have phd level intelligence i. your pocket” i simply remember that i can text actual phd @scienceyael.bsky.social whenever i want and not burn down a meadow to do it

Excited to see a new cohort of @hhmi.org Gilliam Fellows. I have seen the impact this program has had and am glad its continuing. Special congrats to UNC's Celeste Robles and her advisor Helen Lazear, continuing a long tradition of amazing Gilliam Fellows here

No one should ever have the power to autonomously cancel hundreds of millions of dollars for scientific research based on some lies they saw on YouTube.

mRNA vaccines are one of the most important tools we have for preventing future catastrophic pandemics because we can update them more quickly than any other vaccine technology in response to new emerging viruses & variants.

RFK Jr cancelling millions in mRNA research makes the world far less safe.

P.S. this review was originally 5x longer and soooo much more fun/historical/engaging/narrative.... DM me if you want the director's cut LOL the reviewers did not care for the style.

David Corey is one of the most brilliant scientists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Cutting funding to scientists like him is going to hurt our country in so many ways including its standing in the world as well as economically. Not to mention the health of our citizens. All for what?

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals.

What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.

Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.

🚨URGENT RESPONSE CALL. FLOOD THE ZONE 🚨

The House CJS Subcommittee IS CURRENTLY marking up the FY26 budget, incl. NSF. Since 1950, NSF has been advancing science, health, & more.

Tell Chairman Rogers: Don’t gut 75 years of progress. We demand NO CUTS to NSF.

Now a Jane Coffin Childs postdoc at Stanford, @scienceyael.bsky.social studies how infections like Epstein–Barr, COVID, & Lyme trigger long-term neurological disease. We talk science, survival, solidarity, & making academia accessible for those without a safety net. #LongCOVID #ChronicLyme 5/

At 15, @scienceyael.bsky.social fled a violent fundamentalist household. She battled #eatingdisorders, self-harm, & poverty—working night shifts while teaching herself high school. She forged a transcript to escape, later confessed, earned a GED, & won a full scholarship to Kent State. 3/

In Ep. 46 of A Chat with Uma, I talk to Dr. Ya’el Courtney @scienceyael.bsky.social—a neuroscientist whose life traverses extreme circumstances that most only read about. From surviving an abusive home to couch-surfing through high school, her path to neurosci. is nothing short of extraordinary. 2/
