We created this guide for anyone who could experience a miscarriage in a state with abortion restrictions. We wrote it in consultation with dozens of doctors, including those who regularly treat patients who are miscarrying 👇

If You’re Pregnant, Here’s What You Should Know About the Medical Procedures That Could Save Your Life

Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselv...

🚨Breaking🚨: NIH is terminating health disparities research grants again. This time, they may successfully avoid legal challenges by giving specific reasons for their decisions. One grant so far, more to come. Exclusive @science.org by me and @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...

NIH is again terminating grants that the Trump administration dislikes

With cancellation of health disparities project, agency may be testing new way to legally kill politically sensitive grants

I am designing new constructs to express my POI from a pET28(a)-TEV vector. I have done this many times before... but am having issues with Genscript. I think that the interface changed recently. Any recommendations?

Scientists--if your funding was cut over the last year (for research on climate, global health, DEI, LGBTQ or womens health, etc) but you managed to keep the research going, I want to talk to you for an upcoming article! Plz contact me: gewin at me dot com. Re-posts appreciated!

I serve on NIH study section, spending considerable effort sharing my expertise on the most meritorious research proposals. I use my knowledge judge significance, innovation, feasibility, methods. The OMB rule change would enable that expertise to be completely disregarded in funding decisions.

I strongly oppose the OMB rule change. I do not believe in political interference in NIH funding and award decisions. We all benefit from the very best science getting funded. To be clear, I oppose the harmful changes being proposed by Vought and Trump. I won't be silent or self-censor.

I was just searching to see who commented... Not too late!! Please take a minute to express your concerns on this offensive proposal!!

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 1 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/eoQwY

Graphic from Stand Up for Science urging action on a federal funding proposal. Large text reads: "1 Days Left" and "Help Us Stop Vought From Destroying American Science." A portrait of Russell Vought appears beside the U.S. Capitol. A banner along the bottom reads: "Submit a comment on the OMB proposal | Link in bio to take action." The Stand Up for Science logo appears in the top left.

I agree: we must question the censorship we see. And we must speak out. I haven't word-searched my grants, and now appreciate that this "self-censorship" is a real threat to free speech. "Diverse" is a common adjective in science, not an ideology. Read this👇 www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

The 3-Pronged Attack on Scientific Communication (opinion)

At the NIH, political appointees exercise extensive control over scientific communication, and research on health communication is under siege.

I just spent three days on the hill being told that even Republican members in Congress with sick children would not stand up for the science that would save their children’s lives and yours. So no, these people are not your friend. They are not even a friend of their own blood.

When science societies, orgs, and associations raise serious concerns about the proposed OMB rules governing science funding that is because the rules are in fact problematic if not ruinous. www.aibs.org/news/2026/26... www.aip.org/fyi/white-ho... www.aaas.org/news/aaas-st... + many many more
