Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

#StandUpForScience 🧪

On March 7th... the most important thing we can do is to visually show that science has strong support. Everywhere!
FRIDAY: Join @standupforscience.bsky.social rallies around the US to protest funding cuts, illegal firings, and censorship of scientists. In response to the attacks, the most important thing we can do is to visually show that science has strong support in this country, so please show up if you can!

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better…
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.
-Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

Lessons for #ScienceSky 🧪

Will U.S. government scientists soon face the “muzzling” their Canadian counterparts experienced under right-wing Prime Minister Stephen Harper?

David Shiffman spoke to several people whose work was affected by Harper’s regressive policies, and they have advice to help prepare for Trump 2.0. ⬇️

The next four years will be awful for the science and conservation community. By learning from past experiences, we can minimize the damage.
