Find me at poster 034 "Superbugs: Taking Science to the City", co-chairing the "Catalysing Change" parallel session, at the BSI stand, or queueing for coffee! 🗣️☕

Here's how to get into the spirit.

Abuse is not the survivor’s fault. And it is not the survivor’s responsibility to stop it.

From a source at NIH:

“Right now NIH’s ability to buy things is dead. Nearly all people with the power to make an order — purchasing people — have been removed.
The NIH hospital can’t buy medicines, the labs can’t buy petri dishes. X-Ray machine breaks? Too bad.
Everything is stopped”

scary times, sadly
Francis Collins, the NIH Director for 12 years, led the Human Genome Project and other NIH efforts for 32 years, resigned today. Key words from his resignation letter

Take a good look at who is speaking out. Grad students are running the biggest science protest because no one else would. Institutions are going to be targeted no matter what we do. Might as well go down fighting.
Thank you!

I, too, am shocked that so many are so quiet as if they think it will protect them from the worst of this. I don't think it will.
@jeremymberg.bsky.social is a national hero. Too many of my tenured colleagues are hiding in their offices, hoping the storm will pass over them if they keep their head down. I'm immensely grateful that Dr. Berg has the opposite response to this moment.
