Per the NYTimes, a Disciples of Christ pastor confronted agents (presumably ICE) in front of her church as they detained a man.
When the pastor shouted instructions in Spanish at the man as he was detained, an agent pointed a gun at her.
Then, they laughed.

I’d go further and say that RFK Jr sees scientific expertise as an obstacle to his plans.
I know Helen Chu well, and she is as smart, dedicated and upstanding as they come. This is a big loss for US vaccine policy.

Helen Chu is one of the ousted #ACIP members. She spoke to me today about her grave concerns for future vaccination policy and vaccine access in the United States. www.statnews.com/2025/06/10/c...

Had an excellent time tonight seeing @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social chat with my boss tonight at UW about his new book, Everything Is Tuberculosis. Especially now, I'm so glad TB is getting a spotlight thrown on it. It is within our grasp to end TB.

I’m a former IIE Fulbright recipient. I hope to see a statement from Fulbright about the detention of Rumeysa Ozturk, doing doctoral research at Tufts’ Child Study and Human Development program. Her work addresses childrens’ media. She is the co-founder of an independent children’s media initiative.
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

We can't let the Washington Health Trust bill die this session!
SB 5233 / HB 1445 would create the first publicly-funded, statewide #UniversalHealthcare system in the country! Any resident or business could enroll in comprehensive coverage but the bill must advance.

Feeling some kind of way about the world, but since we're celebrating women & girls in science, here's me in the lab 4 days before my bb's due date (lol she was 2 wks late). Here's to the future--to all little girls, boys, nbs, transgirlies who just want to grow up and be what they want to be.

Leave it to scientists to review and improve a McCarthyist database so everyone can figure out if they're too woke or not. Good god, I hate Ted Cruz and his shitty xlsx
Is your NSF grant on this list? Reach out if so!
Ted Cruz released a list of grants flagged for DEI or "neo-Marxist class warfare propaganda" from his Oct. report.
NSF is using keywords from that report for their review, though Cruz's list is likely larger.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

Stopping clinical trials with such haste is unethical and potentially dangerous and violates the very principles that all who conduct interventional studies must adhere to. It is sad and exposes ignorance and a complete lack of respect for people!
