Proud to have spoken out about how science funding has shaped me and how threats to science hurt us all in my hometown newspaper (the Reporter Herald, Loveland CO). Join in....thanks to this online community for the idea! #sciencehomecoming

I wrote a piece for the Sioux Falls Argus Leader on the importance of supporting federally funded research for the health and economic well-being of South Dakotans! Thanks to @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social for the inspiration & resources! #sciencehomecoming

How we’re battling Trump’s science cuts across small-town America Neuroscientist Jessica Cantlon is urging scientists to use the power of local newspapers in the fight against US research-funding cuts.

A small light in Trump's darkness. Interview with neuroscientist Jessica Cantlon, who founded #ScienceHomecoming, which helps scientists to submit articles to their local news media, putting the case for funding science

I love everything about the #sciencehomecoming @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social movement. I have heard from many in my hometown that my article had an impact on them. There is still plenty to write about 😔 - consider doing so!

Science in America was already great; research now at risk - The Iola Register I clearly have many reasons to be concerned about the recent threats to scientific funding, but I hope to convey that these decisions will impact all American communities, including Iola. I was born a...

My #sciencehomecoming article was published in my hometown paper, it’s been inspiring to see so many stories like this connecting with rural communities, thanks @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social for starting this initiative! www.iolaregister.com/opinion/colu...

Dear Decaturish - Public science matters to Tucker Unfortunately, public science is under attack, with major science agencies facing massive layoffs and unprecedented funding cuts.

My #sciencehomecoming op-ed was just published in my hometown paper. Thanks @cantlonlab.bsky.social for the prompt!

Funding the future: The impact of science cuts on rural Idaho Science is often portrayed as the stuff of villains in sci-fi movies or as almost magical in catching criminals on TV dramas. The reality is that the scientific research that benefits us all takes both time and continued investment. This investment has made our nation a leader in research and innovation for decades, thanks in large part to broad bipartisan support. But now, science is the victim of indiscriminate federal funding cuts that put this progress at risk. Three main actions are devastating scientific research right now: freezing federal budgets and review panels for the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation (NSF), firing thousands of expert scientists from agencies like NIH, NSF, and NASA, and canceling programs that promote entry into the scientific workforce. This hurts science, but why should it matter to you? [NIH/NSF funds to ID] I grew up in Eastern Washington and North Idaho, where my family still lives today. I rode the bus for hours each day to Priest River Junior and Senior High Schools, where my teacher, Mrs. Mund, first sparked my interest in science. With a mix of Pell Grants and scholarships, I became the first in my family to graduate from college, earning two degrees from the University of Idaho. In college, my passion for science ignited through an NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates summer program. This led me to graduate studies, where I received support from an NIH training grant and an NSF fellowship to study the microbes inside us with a gut microbiome pioneer at Washington University. Later, thanks to an NIH postdoctoral fellowship, I worked with a now Nobel Prize-winning scientist in Boston. These opportunities changed my life. Now, I have my dream job as a professor at Baylor College of Medicine, leading a team that studies how microbes in the gut affect metabolism and health. Our research, salaries, and lab space are almost …

I grew up in Woodland, a small town outside of Sacramento. I know it's often hard to see the direct benefits that #NIH & #NSF funding have on our lives.

Inspired by #ScienceHomecoming, I wrote to my hometown newspaper about the importance of #science funding

Let's keep this going!
