I couldn’t be more proud of STEPS! Hats off to Zach, Mina, and Rich (@relenski.bsky.social) for all their hard work on the project. I look forward to adding new features and fighting with inevitable bugs in the future!
Excited to share new #program, STEPS, which can simulate #dynamics of the E. coli Long-Term Evolution Experiment (#LTEE) or other microbes in serial transfer regime.

STEPS developed by @devinmlake.bsky.social, Zachary Matson, Minako Izutsu, and me.

Donald Trump spent $23M on golf (up to mid march).
Over 56 days, he spent $410k of our tax dollars each day at his own clubs.
That is one 3-year NSF grant per day.
Waste and abuse, my ass.

WE JUST GOT DOGE’D
no funding for this year. We have to cancel the program and email 450 applicants there will be no REU program in physics at MSU.
First time in 20+ years.
I’m fucking livid, y’all.

The Ohio vs. Michigan rivalry continues... who will be the first to confirm a team for #standupforscience2025?
Yes, so many MI volunteers ready to support as a team but we need someone to lead the charge!

Accidentally wrote this thread of some thoughts on what an organized movement among scientists to fight back against government suppression of science might look like, and how to start.
Note: part of my point is that we should listen to experts on social change in making these plans. I'm no expert.

I'm not sure what the right place to start is, given the chaos and the number of fronts we're being attacked on. Most of the activism theory I learned in college assumed a more stable landscape.
That said, there are tools to help groups figure out where to start a social movement.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
