#Harvard museum of Natural History has some really cool bird photos I saw this morning! Lots more content coming from me about Harvard this week.

Really appreciate them this week standing up for what’s right, even if they lose money. Happy to highlight some of the great work they do!

Agreed; as a Boston guy I’m really impressed with Harvard’s response!

Here’s a podcast episode I made about why science funding matters! Please feel free to share this with anyone wondering why research cuts are a big deal.

Today is a solo episode with your host, Alex Chansky! I talk about why I do this show — in addition to some personal reasons, this channel is a great opportunity to make #science research more accessible and understandable to the public!

Probably my favorite solo episode -- why I do this show and why science funding matters!

This is especially important as research funding cuts are proposed and the US’s top research institutions are cutting projects. So why is science funding so important? Listen to find out more!
