I have a PhD in the medical sciences....and it seems pretty close to magic to me too. :) But that's probably why I became a scientist.

This is truly heartbreaking.

Yes. And I also understand how good people “let it happen”. I’ve never felt so helpless. Calling senators and reps daily - which feels futile. Donating to the orgs fighting this administration in court - but not enough $ to make a real impact. Desperate for a roadmap - how do we stop this?

And now the NIH has stopped all research that focuses on minority health. NIH funding must be fully restored and must be used to focus on the most urgent health problems.

Bring him home, Senator. Then, bring them all home. No one belongs in a foreign prison known for its violence. No one should be deported without due process.

A glimmer of hope on an otherwise grim day in the news cycle. May Harvard be the first university of many to take a stand for freedom of speech and the right to dissent.

FINALLY. This is what I am ranting about in my own world to mostly deaf ears. I am baffled by the apathy.

I agree, Rep Raskin. What actions will you take in your office to stop these illegal acts? You have power that most of us do not.

Seems to me that @aspph.bsky.social has a stake in this.

THIS is the leadership we need at universities.
