Critically the wastage involved in the #YechBros (sic) drive to AI. Water for cooling and non renewables for energy.

McGowan: He seems to be getting rid of statisticians and climate people and weather experts and scientists and anyone who doesn't agree with what he wants to tell or what he wants to say.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Repubs don't like Science.

Science brings change.

Change erodes privilege.

The status quo.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

As a woman who nearly died as a result of being prescribed an antibiotic at a dangerously high dose based on studies done only on men, the danger of this act can only be seen as an intentional assault on the safety of women. Not surprising, but infuriating. 🤬 #HandsOffOurScience #HandsOffOurBodies

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Bookmark these resources! The Trump admin’s corrupt, illegal, and anti-science actions are causing harm to people and communities across the country. These trackers document that harm, including NIH cuts, illegal DOGE activities, and litigation currently underway to stop the damage. (A thread 🧵)
