Trump promised to end inflation and “‘make America affordable again,’” writes @annielowrey.bsky.social. “That is not happening. Worse, the White House’s early policies are making it more likely that the country’s cost-of-living crisis will endure for years to come”:
Trumpflation
Everything is going to be a little more expensive now.

It's the International Day for Women and Girls in Science🧪

Enabling and empowering women and girls in STEM fosters innovation and ensures diverse (+ often marginalized) perspectives are heard, resulting in a more equitable, inclusive, environmentally sustainable, + technologically advanced society.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🔬

On 11 February, we celebrate the important contributions of women to the STEM disciplines.

On this occasion, we asked six female scientists what science means to them: home.cern/news/news/cern/international-day-women-and-girls-science-2025

Women make up only 35% of STEM graduates worldwide.

UNESCO encourages more women and girls to get involved in science education.

On #WomenInScience Day, let's amplify their voices!

Today is Women and Girls in Science Day, and as a woman in STEM myself, I know how important it is to have women in this field!

To all the other STEM girls out there: keep breaking those glass ceilings and making all the noise! We create our futures, and your futures look bright!

Universities and Institutions have to push back NOW.

When they threaten one group of scientific institutions, if we are silent, we will be next.

HHMI and the other potential targets need to work with red state Unis to stall this illegal targeting in courts.
