More journalists getting punished for doing their job. #ScienceSky #MedSky 🧪
I'm at the Willard Hotel where I've been denied entry and kicked out of the Reclaiming Science event with NIH director Bhattacharya & other top agency leaders.
@jocelynkaiser.bsky.social and I registered for the event months ago yet were told capacity was full, even as they let in dozens of others.

I believe we may be taking March 7th NATIONAL!
This will require financial support. Last year, nationwide, the protests cost $75,000. We need all the help we can get!

The US government has lost more than 10,000 people with PhDs in the STEM or health fields since Trump 2.0 took office — 14% of the federal civil servants with PhDs in those areas, a @ScienceMagazine analysis shows.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

I want to address my friend Ilan who says here that he has been subject to “a lot of hate” from academics who “should know better” and haven’t respected the “academic enterprise.”
I don’t dislike Ilan. I also think his paper is fundamentally wrong and not scholarly.

Machine learning can be very helpful, it can remove much of the pain or "friction" involved in crunching data. But that's a problem. Real innovation often ONLY emerges from constraints. People can't see beyond the beam and the empty prompt box unless they have no choice. #ScienceSky 🧪
One of my concerns with AI-assisted research in biology is that we're already looking only in the lamplight and AI incentivizes us to narrow the beam. Seems like it's happening...
