ummmmm...fake sources, mischaracterization of findings, made up research studies doesn't sound like "Gold Standard Science" to us.

But what do we know? We are just a lowly, grassroots community of the world's leading scientists. 🐸☕

Scientists will not be silenced.

Today, I stood alongside thousands of researchers worldwide to rally against the growing attacks on the scientific community. Budget cuts and the spread of misinformation are creating severe obstacles to scientific discovery.

The mood was defiant at many of the rallies, where chants of “Scientists will not be silenced”, “Facts over fear” and “What do we want? Peer review! When do we want it? Now!” were heard.

I recently had the opportunity to share my work on astrocyte population dynamics during neural circuit development. I am honored to have received the Basic Science Award, recognizing the importance of fundamental research in understanding our bodies.

Happy International Women and Girls in Science Day! Today, we do more than celebrate. We demand the recognition we deserve.
