My @bostonglobe.com quotes 💔

"The scale of what happened is incomprehensible—a bloodbath for research and the wider community.

Entire labs are unraveling, and young scientists on training grants may be suddenly adrift. Work that could change lives—or save them—is being brought to a standstill.” 🔬

13/ If you care about truth 💡 health 🩺 & democracy 🗳️ — fight with us ✊

We need a tidal wave 🌊

12/ That’s why I ran for local office 🗳️ — and won 🏆

We need scientists everywhere:

🔬 In labs

📚 On school boards

⚖️ In courtrooms

Not just resisting — leading 🚀

11/ Philanthropy 💸 must step up

Congress 🏛️ must act

And the public 👥 must understand: this isn’t niche

The research you rely on — cancer 🧬, HIV 🦠, vaccines 💉, mental health 🧠 — is next 🔥

10/ I’m proud to be a Harvard faculty member 🎓 — & proud Harvard is also suing to defend academic freedom 📢🧠.

More universities 🏛️ & institutions must join now

This is DEFCON 1 🚨

9/ I’ve faced hate mail 💌 Disturbing threats 🚫

I've increased security around my office & family 🛑🏠.

But the greater danger is silence 😶

We either defend science now — or we watch it vanish 🫥

8/ I’m not alone ✊

Leading researchers, the American Public Health Association 🏥 & others joined our suit — to stop unlawful grant terminations & protect science 🔬📚

7/ This is not just about me

It’s about whether truth 🧬 will survive in a democracy 🗳️ — or if science will be rewritten by ideology 📉

That’s why I'm filing a federal lawsuit ⚖️ against RFK Jr. & the NIH

6/ One canceled study found lesbians are 3x as likely to experience stillbirth 🫄

Another studied suicide risk in queer youth under anti-LGBTQ laws 🧒

5/ The government destroyed $16 million in taxpayer-funded science that I was leading 💰

But that’s not what hurts most

What hurts is this: vital, life-saving LGBTQ research is now in the trash — defunded, silenced, erased

4/ That’s what makes what happened next so dangerous ⚠️

Dangerous for every American who relies on evidence-based health care

3/ I share this because my work was rigorous & earned the respect of experienced scientists

Now, it’s all been erased — because it’s no longer “aligned with agency priorities.”

2/

I’m a Harvard-trained epidemiologist.

In the past decade:

✔️ Mentored 75+ rising health leaders

✔️ Published 100+ peer-reviewed papers

✔️ Ranked top 10% in NIH funding across Harvard

✔️ Built one of the largest LGBTQ health research programs in the world 🏥

I don't say this to brag...

🧬 Science is under siege — and so are the systems that protect lives.

These aren’t just panel quotes. They’re alarm bells 🔔🔔🔔
