More than half of the 1500 research grants that NSF has terminated under orders from Trump were to women, racial and ethnic minorities, veterans, and low-income and rural students, groups targeted by his administration.
NSF’s grant cuts fall heaviest on scientists from underrepresented groups
Projects to broaden participation were cut disproportionately—and were often led by Black scientists, women, and those with disabilities

Early morning at #EASLCongress in #Amsterdam and there is already a queue round the block for #liverhealth screening. People really want to access this health info - such a great sign.
We need more advocacy for equitable access.

Pathomingle DIY Transit Tour of Portland was a blast!

We found the Sasquatch, made it to the rose garden, and explored Powell’s city of books!

Thank you @asipath.bsky.social for the opportunity to explore with fellow ASIP trainees.

This is a nightmare for trainees everywhere.
Another terrible day for young scientists. The NIH just sent termination notices for the MARC, PREP, IMSD, IRACDA and Bridges programs.

This Administration's attempts to slash federal programs and Congressional Republicans' fiscally-reckless budget proposal will hurt folks in Western PA.

I'm taking a stand and fighting for us—not billionaires and big corporations.
