I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
It’s not…sandwich quest?
On delayed application review, the NIH grant terminations lawsuit appears to be headed for a settlement.
Both plaintiffs and defendants have submitted a joint document outlining their agreement. Judge Young must sign off on it before it takes effect.
Here's what it says and what all this means 🧵
Excited to publish my first alcohol paper and first paper as a post doc in the @superkash.bsky.social Lab, titled Lateral hypothalamus CRFR1 regulation of binge drinking: divergence along anterior-posterior axis. Available here authors.elsevier.com/c/1m84v_GtWa...
Yay excited for you!!!
Excited to have this preprint out into the world!
Excellent write up of an interview with my mentor, @karynfrick.bsky.social, regarding the killing, resuscitation, and re-killing of a grant aimed at promoting undergraduate research on aging. These decisions will harm the US for decades to come.

How is it possible that my otherwise thoughtful and compassionate colleagues can watch the total destruction of Gaza and the killing of tens of thousands of it inhabitants, war crimes that the US is directly responsible for, and do nothing?
I just don't get it.
Let’s go @jesswoj.bsky.social !!
The United States is a threat to global peace and is actively dismantling any semblance of an international rules-based order through its own actions and its continued backing of Israel’s lawlessness.
You can’t shout “peace!” after attacking a sovereign country in violation of international law.
Mahmoud Khalil is free. May his release lead to the release of all who are detained and incarcerated from the US to Palestine, in ICE facilities and in prisons. And may his courage inspire us to remain steadfast in fighting for Palestinian liberation.
At some point scientists need to take an interest, collectively, institutionally, in defending democracy and justice for all, and not just their own resource access
In our first “Postdoc perspectives” essay, @fleabrained.bsky.social and @maribel-patino.bsky.social explain how grassroots organizations led by trainees are stepping up to provide career and mentorship guidance for neuroscience students from marginalized backgrounds.

The Trump regime platforms Christian Nationalists and Nazi sympathizers yet dares to claim that they are fighting antisemitism when they punish students, immigrants, and anyone who speaks out for Palestinian freedom.
This is a lie.
Cannot overstate how repulsive it is for this racist, antisemitic, fascist administration to so brazenly hold up Jewish people as shields for its fascism. I hope the shamelessness at least means fewer people fall for it.
UNC Gillings School of Public Health is eliminating their Health Equity & Social Justice Concentration. This program is home to many of my friends — some of the most thoughtful, caring, and innovative researchers I know.

It’s incredible that Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours. Sadly also incredible he did not say *one word* about *the ultimate* stress test of today: the detention of students speaking out against acts like Israel executing 15 medics in Gaza (also something Booker said nothing about)
oh hey, this paper is out now!

"We are Jewish professors, staff, students from universities across the US. We hold various views about Israel, Palestine, student activism . But we are united in denouncing anyone who invokes our name to harass, expel, arrest, or deport members of our communities” docs.google.com/document/d/1...?
Weaponizing Jewish identity for fascist ends does not keep us safe! Please consider signing if you are a Jewish academic.
More from CT as Wesleyan University’s President Michael Roth calls for Mahmoud Khalil’s release: “Just as we should decry antisemitism and other forms of discrimination, we should insist that students and faculty have the right to make their voices heard about the issues of the day.”
Listen to every word.
As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.
Nazis shouldn’t be allowed to say Shalom, especially not in this extremely evil context, in my Jewish opinion.
Cannot stress Amy's second point enough. It's both morally wrong and unbelievably dangerous for Jews to allow ourselves to be used as the wedge to overturn basic civil liberties in this country.
This is absolutely chilling. They're using Palestine and Columbia as examples, but do not doubt that this is a trial run. What is happening is not only unethical but also illegal thirteen ways to Sunday. Speak out and keep track. This is bad at face value, and also a trial balloon.
