I'm grateful for those who are fighting back, and in the longterm much of this will likely be reversed (already being challenged in courts). Back on Futureproof this weekend with @jonathanmccrea.bsky.social and @shanedbergin.bsky.social to talk science news, because we've gotta keep going.

It's incredible to me that DOGE/etc is being sold as an efficiency initiative, when it wastes so much money, knowledge, and talent that may never be recovered. This is a loss to science in the US and globally.

I know so many people affected by the cuts at NSF/NIH/NOAA, from firings to grant cancellations to politically motivated attacks on research topics like vaccines, transgender healthcare, and climate change.

Same! There are 3 awesome starter packs from @annapr.bsky.social: bsky.app/profile/anna...
Ok, Ireland is not full but my starter packs 1 & 2 are!

So here's a third and *final* one from me (felt too guilty ignoring people asking to be added! This one is not full... yet).

Tús maith, leath na hoibre!

My US absentee ballot was challenged by some crank who tried to disenfranchise overseas voters in Pennsylvania (who are predominantly Democrats). It was horrible until the ACLU stepped in. www.aclupa.org/en/press-rel...

This feels like a description of improv!

...while most US anti-trans activism is steeped religious right framings, Mace's rhetoric lately (on gametes & her critics supposedly "silencing" her as a woman) sounds like she's been binging UK "gender critical" blogposts. those talking points debunked here:
