This is so telling.

Will US academics even be able to attend conferences anymore? Eg, healthcare, life sciences, climate/environmental science?
With what funds? And to present what research? What’s left after everything that was funded by or in collaboration with NIH, USAID, CDC, WHO, NOAA, etc?

These were never our tools though. Yes they worked for us for decades but we never owned this shit.

Get back into community to have discourse because they are erasing science off the internet.

Scientific research is going to be a big area for this because we are seeing this shit crumble before our eyes. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still do the work. It just means we’re going have to think more creatively and return to grassroots work to share out science.

And the dance!!

Really doesn’t make sense.

Fuck.

Been confused about this since it started.

Scientists and health professionals: You are NOT powerless, here. You can

- Write an OpEd
- Learn #SciComm skills! While colleagues are muzzled, be their voice!
- Organize your colleagues to write a joint letter
- Start a whisper network to share info
- Be a thorn in their side

#ScienceNotSilence

Oh is that the tones in those? I dunno I’ve been playing with layering for a minute but this combination hits

Please lol

There are so many platforms now where folks are trying to have public discourse. Twitter gave us one central place where we could share intellectual thought on everything from politics to sports to art to pop culture. Right now all these apps seem segmented and I can’t explain it.
