Our paper just came out in Science Advances showing the chemicals in the air in Imperial Beach (many aerosolized from the polluted Tijuana River). Thanks to the entire team--especially to Prof. Nate Slade and his (then) graduate student (now Dr.) Adam Cooper.

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

The NIH-funded Haskell-KU Bridges Program was terminated. It was one of the longest running programs of its kind, placing >130 Native American students into STEM labs over the last ~25 years. So many alums spoke of this program as being the entry point to their interest, and later, careers in STEM.
We have some very sad news. Today we received notification that our Bridges, MARC, PREP and IRACDA programs have been terminated. We are heartbroken.

Can confirm this is the case at NIH 🧪🦠
From a source at NIH:

“Right now NIH’s ability to buy things is dead. Nearly all people with the power to make an order — purchasing people — have been removed.
The NIH hospital can’t buy medicines, the labs can’t buy petri dishes. X-Ray machine breaks? Too bad.
Everything is stopped”

Heyo. To all my fellow young and/or early-career scientists (especially fellow feds), in case you're not hearing it from your supervisors and mentors right now:
- You matter.
- Your work is important. It is not a waste.
- Your energy and your ideas are needed.
- You are the future.

"They'll take your guns, so vote for us," said Republicans.

You still have guns.

"They'll take your jobs, so vote for us," said Republicans.

Trump just cut 200,000 jobs.

"They'll take your freedom, so vote for us," said Republicans.

Republicans are imprisoning people illegally. /

This new study, which found that PM2.5 from wildfire smoke increases mental health emergency department visits, was funded by a grant from NHLBI. And the disparities it uncovered are just the kind of thing that would make obviously important research a target now.

Petabytes of critical government research that is marked for possible deletion cannot be archived because of technical and legal restrictions, meaning it is very likely to be lost forever:

Interesting. Senate votes 51-48 to revoke the "national emergency" Trump declared to unlock the (probably unconstitutional) power to impose these tariffs.

The House could end this (specific) madness right now.
This is what happens when people speak up.

To be(e) fair, researchers know a lot of reasons it *might* be happening.

They’re just not sure which one is worst, or what to do about it.

And they probably all just got fired anyway. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Good luck, all!
