It's been real, Michigan! So happy to have met some wonderful people in my short time here - thanks for the send off
@narayanlab.bsky.social crew!
12. Like art, music, philosophy, and literature, science is literally part of humanity's heritage.
My colleagues and I have had the amazing opportunity to be part of something vastly larger than ourselves, with meaning that transcends any state, regime, or generation.
They can't take that away.
A white woman (me) with glasses and long brown hair wears a "Science Not Silence" hoodie while speaking from behind a lectern with a "Seattle Stand Up for Science" banner on it. Behind her is a wall with a large, multi-colored abstract mural on it as well as another "Stand Up for Science" banner. Behind the mural and wall loom the Space Needle against a bright blue sky.
A woman in a dark hoodie and dark jeans is shown from behind speaking to a large crowd on a lawn holding protest signs supporting science. Behind the crowd are trees and the tall white arches of the U.S. Science Pavilion from the 1962 World's Fair.

Red white and blue flyer with statue of liberty on left in blue tones. Text reads: Lansing STANDUP FOR SCIENCE 2025 MARCH 7, 2025 MI State Capitol 12-4pm SCIENCE IS FOR EVERYONE Find your local rally site and other ways to get involved: standupforscience2025.org
Join us THIS FRIDAY, March 7th, 12-4pm, in Lansing to #StandUpForScience!
We are citizens united in demanding that policymakers defend science, protect research funding, and ensure evidence-based decision-making for the benefit of all. We’re standing up for science because science is for EVERYONE.
Giving ppl the false perception of hope - "as far as DEI and transgender are not mentioned in my grant, I should be OK" - keeps them quiet.
Whoever took on a leadership position, this is their time to shine. Otherwise you are just another administrator.
I am not going to call this a Bluetorial, because I do not want to sully that term (which, at least I, find joyful).
Let’s call it a Orwellial.
For sure!!

@standupforscience.bsky.social
The people in power intend to completely annihilate scientific infrastructure, capacity, & research in the US. No institution will be spared if its mission is to advance science.
Everyone is already a target, whether you speak up or not. So, institutions, consider speaking up.
@holdenthorp.bsky.social do something!
