Students disappeared by ICE for dissent.

International scientists deported for private emails.

Judges threatened with impeachment.

Media outlets branded “illegal” for criticising the President.

Journalists banned by the White House for fact-checking.

The 1930s are screaming their warning at us.

Happy International Women In Science Day! We have come a long way but there is still so much more to do... The threats for 2025 are real & WE (yes all of us 🫵) as a scientific community must stand up and push back! #ScienceIsPolitical In the halls and websites of the NIH, NASA, HHMI.... 🧪👩‍🔬✊
The NIH 6 months ago, vs the NIH now. 🧵

I receive a lot of feedback on social media asking me to keep politics out of science. But what they really mean is "keep the status quo" and "don't challenge a notion about society and science that makes me more comfortable"

To #DefendResearch scientists must become activists, but there are also subtle forms of resistance we can practice like malicious compliance and sabotage. See my article below for more information.

Sunday morning I learned that CDC scientists were ordered to withdraw manuscripts under review at sci/med journals to ensure the removal of “forbidden terms” like LGBT. First I ranted & raved w/ some grad school friends over brunch & dominos. Then I wrote about it.

need to make sure they want to stay once they get there.

So we need to elect people who understand bias, promote diversity, and fund historically underinvested science.

Ya dig?

my students seem to think that science isn't connected to their lives, so i showed them a Let Science Speak video & said: #scienceispolitical, i'd not be your teacher if it wasn't for DOGE & whether you are happy or sad about that, it is a fact of the time we live in www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhDF...

@ethangclark02.bsky.social thanks for sharing this. Six months & here is the dire warning that went out from NWS. This saved lives. If NWS/NOAA is privatized, you will have to pay for warnings. People will die. #hurricanehelene #scienceispolitical

This will have far-reaching and lasting impacts on science. I made an extended video discussing this on tiktok and IG. Go check it out.

Great post on why #ScienceIsPolitical. Some colleagues have expressed anxiety about being seen as activists, but what about those advocating for OS or Research Assessment? "Those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act," we speak out from our expertise, seeking the good of society.

Reviewed a paper that reported some mite species from Asian Russia. The authors assume that Crimea is part of Russia when #CrimeaIsUkraine. I'll be curious to see how the editor responds. #ScienceIsPolitical

This has been years in the making. If our positions and funding are not secured, we depend on political will.

This never leads to academic freedom, which is absolutely the point.
