I was speaking to a colleague how this may spark a huge American Brain Drain! Free to do science in a country that respects and support all science is a great selling point.
Canada did this in 2017 with their Canada 150 Chairs. The U.S. lost some phenomenal scientists to that recruitment effort.

Morning, all. RFK's confirmation hearings start today.
Call. Because do we really want a low-rent medical villain to be the head of HHS?
Call. Because do we really want a low-rent medical villain to be the head of HHS?
![FOR SENATE FINANCE/SENATE HELP MEMBERS:
YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: I am calling on [SENATE FINANCE MEMBER] to vote against RFK Jr. after he appears in front of Senate Finance/Senate Help in his confirmation hearing for HHS. RFK has shown that he does not believe in vaccines, and will regularly champion against smart health-related actions that would serve the benefit of the American people.
YOU: I am calling on [SENATE FINANCE MEMBER] to recognize that realities of our world - avian flu is growing more serious by the day. We need someone to put the interests of the American people first.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreicmwxihzffaizuq36sjmgi6iu44fxa5zxglb6sx6ix4jjmqryv5ia@jpeg)
![YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [zip code].
YOU: I’m calling on [SENATOR] to vote against RFK Jr.’s nomination to HHS. His stance on vaccines is dangerous, and will absolutely cause medical harm.
YOU: Is [SENATOR] really okay with someone this inexperienced running such a sensitive position? What will [SENATOR] do, when we have outbreaks all across the country? All of this comes at a cost.
YOU: I am calling on [ SENATOR] to reject his nomination when the vote comes tot he floor.
YOU: [ADD MORE/PERSONALIZE/CLARIFY IF YOU WANT A RESPONSE]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreicllujodtj5c6msaurbjxok5e3wn2n3ztm6brcssdrv7jwd2wu6pa@jpeg)

A man asked a gardener why his plants grew so beautifully.
The gardener said: “I don’t force them to grow. I remove what stops them.” ~Unknown

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

A sweet elder gave me a prayer card and some caramel and told me we’re going to be ok. That was medicine to my soul. My community and village are ready to stand firm and steady for the times ahead. Because our ancestors made it through worse and we’re still standing today 🖤🖤
