Repeat after me:

Keep that in mind as Democrats "debate" a continuing resolution "strategy." #ItsAlreadyShutdown

That’s right. The lessons we learn as scientists — to keep trying things in the face of uncertainty, to be ok with failure and be persistent — are important for us now as we seek to stop this ongoing coup.
I like this perspective a lot. Perhaps the most useful things I learned in grad school were being unafraid to try something new and being ok with failure. If a group of scientists can't "troubleshoot" a movement, I don't know who can.
This is very good advice for scientists who are now dipping their toes for the first time into organizing, or into speaking out.

Many things you try will not work. You just have to keep trying things.

The best resistance is positive persistence. 🧪

We’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science.

Entire NIH departments will have no leaders.

World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators.

Is this what they want?
Chaos? Destruction?
NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research
Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs
