This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥

We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪

Hey, scientists! 🧪 Researcher and friend of the show @rebeccafieldingmiller.com is part of a team looking at the impact of NIH grant terminations. They're collecting demographic info from folks who have lost funding.

Flyer with text reading, "Was your NIH-funded project terminated? Check your email for a brief (<5 minute) demographic survey." There is a QR code as well.

Text from a listener comment: I listened to a different podcast on microplastics and completely freaked out. Luckily I listened in over here and was brought back to sanity.

The Trump administration wants to end gender-affirming care for trans kids. Science Vs has a few episodes on this — here's one from a few years ago that covers some of the basics (and some of the inaccurate info out there).

A purple box with green text that says, "If trans kids who need puberty blockers can't get them, their mental health can get worse. Going on puberty blockers either improves their mental health, or keeps it on an even keel." The Science Vs logo is at the bottom right.
