Great visual of the science and discoveries at stake in the attack on Harvard’s grants Gift article to you my fine bsky friends #ScienceIsDefiance @philadelphiascienceaction.substack.com
Here Is All the Science at Risk in Trump’s Clash With Harvard (Gift Article)
More than 900 research grants worth $2.6 billion are in jeopardy. So is the 80-year-old model of American science.

@antihebbiann.bsky.social shares her .ai drawings of mice etc. An incredibly generous and thoughtful act. A salve for the soul (and the grant writers!) jn these troubling times. #ScienceIsDefiance

Spent a moment compiling drawings from my past few years of funding applications, including so very many drawings of mice.

Posted here in hopes they save someone else the effort:

My lab members and I pictured in an article in the @inquirer.com about a recent on campus protest about (waves hands around) all this. Thanks @aaup-penn.bsky.social for organizing. tinyurl.com/2zabxsj9 but might be paywalled #ScienceIsDefiance #NoKings
The image from a Philadelphia Inquirer news article shows a protest rally in Philadelphia with a group of people holding signs. One prominent sign reads "NIH GRANTS bring PA $5.23 BILLION in ECONOMIC ACTIVITY." Another visible sign says "FUND DON'T FREEZE." The header at the top reads "PHILADELPHIA" and the headline below the image states "Penn unions rally to encourage administration to oppose federal funding cuts, canceling of diversity initiatives." A partial subheading is visible mentioning that "Penn unions delivered a petition." The protesters are advocating for continued federal research funding and against cuts to diversity programs at the University of Pennsylvania.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Amidst all that is crumbling around us, I am really proud of my group for pressing on and disseminating our science. I'm happy to share that this work led by @tdowns.bsky.social is now in press and open access! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Applying this to our learning and defeat studies rn (thanks @talmo.bsky.social for your boundless help) and looking forward to capturing our own subtle behavioral patterns that traditional metrics (and our eyes) miss. 3/3 #ScienceIsDefiance #CallYourRepresentatives
