From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.

Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

"The real crisis is not that public health — which is fundamentally about policies dictating the distribution of
resources required to protect human life — has been politicized. It is that it has not been politicized nearly enough."— @ericreinhart.bsky.social

FRIDAY: Join @standupforscience.bsky.social rallies around the US to protest funding cuts, illegal firings, and censorship of scientists. In response to the attacks, the most important thing we can do is to visually show that science has strong support in this country, so please show up if you can!

Handmade protest signs, with slogans: “Funding Saves Lives”, “Defund Billionaires - Not Cancer Cures”, “Defend Research”, and “Don’t Mess with Scientists - We Never Give Up!”. Another sign in the second image says “Freeze Cancer Not Funding!”

These were our signs from our most recent Day of Action protest in NYC!

Here’s what New York could pay for with the $28 million in taxpayer dollars that went to Andrew Cuomo's personal legal defense:

☑️ 4,500 afterschool slots
☑️ 1,000 pre-K slots
☑️ 33,000 summer youth jobs
☑️ 500 domestic violence shelter beds
☑️ 1,200 supportive housing units

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Trump is stealing billions of dollars in critical research funding to give tax cuts to billionaires. New Yorkers won't stand for it.

Proud to stand with @uaw.org Region 9A and hundreds of researchers, faculty, and academic workers yesterday to #DefendPublicResearch.

Francis Collins, the NIH Director for 12 years, led the Human Genome Project and other NIH efforts for 32 years, resigned today. Key words from his resignation letter

Fight back!! ✊ For science!!

Must watch speech by neuroscientist Kailyn Price at a HHS rally protesting funding cuts to science.

"Cutting indirect costs is like telling a football team to work with only the players.

No lights for the field, no physical therapists for the players, no water for the showers."
