The NIH is 1% of the federal budget. It's responsible for saving Americans today and far into the future. Yet, the Trump admin is hell bent on hobbling the NIH. Millions of dollars in lost research on cancer, Alzheimers and diabetes can't be fixed by thoughts, prayers, and beef tallow. #impeachrfk

25k petition signatures. 3.5k Quack-O-Grams, 6 weeks of non-stop campaigning to #ImpeachRFKJr. Think Congress got the message yet?

With articles of impeachment being drafted, this is the final push to the finish. We’re closing in on RFK. Let's get the fight over the finish line. zurl.co/vkZQV 🦆

As we move toward our fall subscription drive, we hope you’ll consider supporting us in part bc we are an independent media company.

No, crosswords are not as vital as journalism. But yes, all content that we consume matters, and it should be as free as possible from corporate control.

HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈

Under Trump, research using terms like “Trans,” “LGBTQ,” & “Gender identity” is being defunded. These terms reflect real people who deserve science that includes them.

Stand with us to protect LGBTQ+ science from political erasure.

The moral of the story: The math ain't mathin'.

Trump's cuts to science spending will damage our economy, leave hundreds of thousands of people jobless, destroy the discovery pipeline, and most importantly, cost lives.

But we are fighting back.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.
