The show is inspired by the global non-profit, Cycling Without Age, which takes older adults on trishaw outings to feel the wind in their hair. From the Santa Barbara coastline to Barcelona beaches, each episode unlocks the lived experiences of today’s older generation, who have become increasingly removed from the flow of daily life. This series will create new conditions for generations to collide, share experiences, and be inspired by a sense of place and nostalgia.

The fact is that the NIH wrongfully terminated important research responsive to existing frameworks, funding announcements, and priority areas.

On its face, this “Gold Standard Science” EO seems innocuous.

But beyond the serious concerns in 🧵 below, its “enforcement” provisions stood out.

A senior political appointee (DOGE?) will evaluate alleged violations, including referring those to Human Resources.

The Trump administration just dropped an executive order, "Restoring Gold Standard Science" and there's lots to unpack. This EO reveals more about how the Administration will approach scientific integrity and science in regulatory contexts. Some initial thoughts. 🧵

🚨 Science nerds: TIME FOR ACTION!! 🧪

The past two weeks have been horrendous for NSF. Will only continue to get worse, with likely more hits and fuckery today & tomorrow.

See this new @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social article for where we are today (gift link).

🧵 But then most importantly...
Amid DOGE-induced turmoil, National Science Foundation in crisis
The $9 billion agency, which exists solely to fund researchers, projects and facilities outside its Alexandria, Virginia, headquarters, is hitting reverse on its mission.
