The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.

We all need to speak out to save lives.

Created a starter pack of the @fredhutch.bsky.social faculty on here that I know of. Please feel free to continue to populate to help others as they migrate over from the other place.

One of the easiest, yet hardest, things that us millennials can do to reduce our risk of cancer. This is hard for certain populations where talking about family health is verboten, and for those who may not know certain parts of their family. In those cases, maybe a genetic counselor could help.

How much do you know about your family's cancer history? If you have a blood relative who has a type of inheritable cancer, it's possible you may have the same genetic mutation they have. Take some time this season to discuss your family health history. bit.ly/4hW1WFP

Interested in cancer biology? In our latest #YouTube video, we sit down with Helen from @fredhutch to talk about the basic types of cancer, and dive into the genetics behind them

With the glut of new people on this app, I feel I should do a proper introduction. I have the privilege of creating a position at @fredhutch.bsky.social where I get to learn all the amazing science happening, and find a way to get it out into the world through written materials, videos, events.

One of the things we are going to lose as Twitter disappears is the history of #BLACKandSTEM, the original hashtag for Black scientists to find each other, created in 2014 by Dr. Stephani Page. Page later said that to be Black and STEM is to do science *and* social justice. #BlackSky 🧪

Hello world! Thanks @amandalyngunn.bsky.social for the invite!
