And this happened all over, with the added burden being that HR personnel were fired and there were fewer people to process the paperwork. Meanwhile, moving goalposts and shifting sand since Liz left.

Yeah - but that’s not stopping all the old folks out there organizing and protesting, even if it’s not cool.
I was great to meet you virtually yesterday!
Pope Leo XIV: I am asking all people of goodwill to search always for peace and not violence, to reject war. Let's remember the innocent people who have already become or will become victims of this continued warfare. Attacks on civilian infrastructure is against international law.
We are citizens with civic obligations. If we don’t speak up, someone will fill the vacuum.
"What are we going to do with NASA? Are we going to have it be revived or shut it down? And I had very little hesitation."

And it’s not just scientists leaving for greener pastures, it’s the number of young investigators who just give up or smart kids who decide not to go into science.
Science is under attack these days, maybe because scientists tells us things we don’t want to hear and doesn’t allow us to shade the truth. But advances due to scientific research are real.
And that reminds me to post this to my page.
Very much high risk/high reward. Nailed it!
When we gather at the NIH vigils we renew our oaths.
Many of us who seriously observe Good Friday already scheduled leave for that day.
Who is watching podcasts on video? What is the streaming thing? Why do people watch other people talk on YouTube? I cannot relate to this at all. Audio, yes. I can listen while I do other things. But watching people talk on video? No. This era is not for me.
The Boss.
I remember the shock, tears, and sadness among my friends and colleagues. And that the applied trauma was deliberate.
If it’s not in a podcast app, forget it. I need a player that will work with the screen locked.
Great piece, and great real-time rebuttal. Attacking legitimate science legitimizes pseudoscience. Attacking truth leads to cynicism. These actions aid the snake oil merchants and the oppressors. Thank you for standing up!
You realize they’re monsters and then comes Marlo Stanfield.
Passion Week is a time to reflect on the last hours and crucifixion of Jesus. The focus is on the cross and the suffering. The resurrection isn’t celebrated until Easter.
University of Kentucky grad here. Please….
What’s puzzling is that they had a great podcast on Vox and it got cancelled.
It was a great experience.
Rallies in the morning and afternoon. I’m getting too old for this.
And at the same time, The People held a vigil outside the NIH campus.
Oh. My. Goodness!
And the crowd!
And the former head of NIAID, Dr. Jeanne Marazzo, who was pushed out of her job for trying to do the right thing.
Excellent speeches today at the #NoKings Vigil outside the NIH campus. @michaeldgreen.phd gave us hope in these troubled times. It was a pleasure to meet him and to see so many of my other friends there. We're Stronger! Together!
