A very, very correct answer.

A university that signs the “compact” is one that acknowledges its own inability to compete and succeed based talent and merit. It would signal insecurity and mediocrity to current and future students and faculty. Say no. Recruit the best people, protect their freedom and support their hard work.

"two first-rate economists, David Cutler and Ed Glaeser, have made a stab at estimating the impact of cuts at NIH. Their analysis suggests that these cuts might save $500 billion in federal spending over the next 25 years — while imposing more than $8 trillion in losses."

Research cuts aren’t about shrinking government, they’re about killing science

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

Is anyone else having trouble sourcing BBr3? I have some on back order from Sigma since Feb. I checked Thermo a while back and they were also back ordered for months. Any leads? #chemsky

Watching so many Democrats wave away sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo—after spending years watching Republicans wave away rape and sexual assault allegations against Trump—is depressing.

Saying that serious allegations of sexual abuse don't matter is morally repugnant.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

This putrid human is celebrating the decimation of trans rights in the UK. She’s gloating because she helped fund it. She funded it thru money she makes off Harry Potter.

She will continue to do this. It’s her “mission”.

Supporting Harry Potter harms and causes death in my community. Factually.

This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now.

And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.
The U.K. Supreme Court rules that Britain's equalities law defines a woman as someone born biologically female. The ruling means a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes.

UPenn just had $175 million in federal funding cancelled over allowing Lia Thomas to swim 3 years ago.

It's not going to stop until they leverage federal funding to push out trans people from academia entirely. This will extend to bathrooms, curriculum, etc.

My first "big" feature is out in C&EN! It highlights how open educational resources are hard to find for advanced chemists, but there *are* chemists who are committed to creating these free resources for others. #ChemSky👇 💡

Open-access chemistry lags other fields. Here’s how scientists are changing that
For advanced students and researchers, finding technical educational resources can be challenging. These chemists are fixing the problem.
