@booker.senate.gov wants democrats to lose another presidential election. That 10% is about a fucking genocide. And if (big if) Harris lost the election because people sat out because she refused to call out a genocide, scolding them for it isn’t winning them back. Big tent my ass.

Maryland legislators are trying to exclude grant-funded workers and 12 of 14 USM campuses, including all HBCUs, from collective bargaining rights. ALL grad workers at ALL MD public universities deserve the right to negotiate their working conditions!

Cost of the rocket that is taking 4 people to the moon for the first time in 50 years: $2.5 billion

Cost of the rockets the US has used to kill middle easterners for the first time in 6 months: $38 billion

HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of people in DC are marching to Fort McNair where Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, and other leaders of this regime are living to make it clear we want to #EndTheDCoccupation and #FireStephenMiller. #NoKings #NoKingsDC

I work for you…as you have repeatedly requested. The political situation in the United States in 2025 has raised the operations of the agencies that fund scientific research to common conversation. Research grants which have been issued by the Na…

Recent release of NIH fellowship funding for FY2025 reminded me of this post where I addressed the long standing government interest in training scientists and in asking them to do science thereafter.

Third world county shit

Rep Dean is asking about whether Bhattacharya is concerned by criteria on job applications at NIH (and other government roles) about oaths to the President's EOs as part of hiring criteria.

Bhattacharya agrees. Rep Dean asks him to push back on this language.

One of the things I love about @sansmeeting.bsky.social is how the annual conference is tuned to address the issues academia is currently facing. It’s a great way to support the scientists, not just science.

$300 Million in jet planes lost to a fuckup.

That’s 83 five year NIH R01 grants burned in minutes due to error, aka poor execution of this unnecessary war which serves only to make the world more dangerous.

Oppose Nomination of Casey Means for Surgeon General The Senate HELP Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on the nomination of Casey Means to serve as U.S. Surgeon General on Wednesday, February 25th. While we were hoping this nomination was dead, i...

If you’re watching Casey Means’ Surgeon General confirmation hearing and you are now certain she’s unqualified, you can join @defendpublichealth.bsky.social in our efforts to stop her confirmation.

It will take less than 5 minutes.

I know from eye witnesses that RFK Jr wears jeans to gym regularly. But jeans in an ice bath?! He’s a parody of himself.

Trump and his goons pushed out (or didn't replace) more than 10,000 federal government STEM Ph.D.s since he took office, representing 106,636 years of federal work experience. www.science.org/content/arti...

Even Trump didn’t watch the Turning Point USA half time show. Sad.

Collective Bargaining Rights for Faculty For far too long, faculty at Maryland's public universities have been left behind when it comes to collective bargaining rights. Almost every other public and state employee in the state of Maryland h...

@uam-umd.bsky.social are fighting for collective bargaining rights for non-tenure track faculty at Maryland's 4yr public universities. Use the link to send a letter supporting them to Senate President Bill Ferguson.

News from central Jersey: I'm running to represent New Jersey's 12th Congressional District.

By entering the fray, I hope to bring ideas of repairing our frayed republic. Not only to defend it in 2026, but to build something stronger, for generations to come!

Stop being lazy bums and report your subcortical findings.

Nine subcortical/cerebellar atlases included in the subcortex_visualization Python package (and subcortexVisualizationR package in R). The atlases are depicted in two-dimensional vector graphic format.

The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)!

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Republicans woke up one day and said “let’s turn a US city into a war zone”

Third world shit right here.

I think most Americans have been led to believe that "non-violent protest" means non-confrontational demonstration held with all the proper permits. They don't get that it was non-violent direct action that was practiced in the 60s and confrontation was the point.

Americans need to stop trying to wait it out and think that things will return to normal. They need to start taking the actions to ensure things return to normal.

Another reason why DEI is important: we, or our parents, have lived through this in our home countries. Americans have taken their democracy for granted. Refugees have seen this shit before and have experience in how to deal with it.

Seven Nazi collaborators voted to fund ICE's terrorist attacks on Americans.

Tom Suozzi (New York)
Henry Cuellar (Texas)
Don Davis (North Carolina)
Laura Gillen (New York)
Jared Golden (Maine)
Vincente Gonzalez (Texas)
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington)

Seven collaborators who MUST be primaried.

Also call this loser and tell him to resign. (202) 225-5936
