Save the date! One year after our kickoff rally on March 7th, 2025, we’re back for round two! We’re here to say that science makes America great, science saves lives, and scientists are NOT going to let this administration replace facts with fiction. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks!

It's been a rough year for science (to put it mildly) but it was heartening to have two papers (one first author) come out in the same issue of @natgenet.nature.com www.nature.com/ng/volumes/5...

If you weren't angry enough already, here are the rates of non-competitive renewals through May. 4008 Non-competitive renewals were due to be funded in May. The total funded was 99! Some is due to terminations, but most is due to slow grant making due to DOGE review and other impediments. 1/2
