This is terrible news! I have served on NSF panels, gone to excellent NSF funded conferences, and been the grateful recipient of NSF grants. Seeinf the destruction of the infrastructure of science support is heartbreaking !

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

wrote a guest essay for our student paper.

Truly sad to see, although not unexpected. I was able to do 2 REUs, UMich and UCLA, which was incredibly important coming from a small undergrad (Oberlin). I often credit the REUs as giving me the varied research understanding/skills that I needed to get into and later use in grad school. 💔🪐👩🏻‍🔬🧪🛰️🚀🔬

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

DOGE's crackdown on agency spending means that federal researchers can't do vital experiments, order liquid nitrogen tanks to preserve samples, or refill basic but necessary lab equipment. My story with @zoeschiffer.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

How have we not got masks in healthcare? Why are teachers still told to wash their hands for airborne transmission. @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social Labour promised to clean the air. What’s going on? Why the delay, the science is showing the opposite of UKHSA guidance. We need urgent action on this!

"downsizes" is a weak way of saying "forced to cancel dozens of programs, which jeopardizes future STEM careers of talented undergrads" @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Something that keeps me up at night: The growing global number of people disabled by Covid & how they will be left further deserted as the climate crisis escalates

I’ve cared for infants who stopped breathing w/ pertussis.

School aged kids who died of flu or COVID.

And many of my patients can’t be vaccinated because they’re on chemotherapy or are immune compromised.

Vaccinations save lives of those who get them & those who cannot.

It’s that simple.

And here we have a Regent of the University of Michigan publicly bullying a (Jewish, female) faculty member because she did not send out a public statement quickly enough to his liking--after she send him a private message of concern the moment she learned about the incident.

The telehealth expansion is ending this month!

Thanks to @drjudystone.bsky.social for the interview on this & for sharing my words - and for linking to the letter campaign!

Sign onto it below. We have less than 3 weeks to save telehealth. You don't need to write an actual letter, b/c one...
