If you can't participate in #standupforscience2025 but believe in the value of all the things that are associated with and come from science, consider making your voice heard by emailing or faxing your representative, I'll share a template in the comments!

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay.

Universities won’t be able to support researchers, biomedical progress will slow, & YOUR health will be harmed.

Plus, widespread economic collapse.

Trump claims these mass deportations are to keep Americans safe, but if he really cared about keeping us safe he’d do something about the mass shootings in our schools
