U.S. leadership in scientific discovery and innovation is at an end. This is not the country my father came to from India as a post-doc in 1968. It is painful to watch every field of science hit with federal funding losses.

go.bsky.app/V7yc6qq Anyone want to talk about how academics and researchers can use #genderdata to advance #women’s-equality & #empowerment in the U.S.? It seems more work is needed than even I had anticipated.
Well hello, Blue Sky! I hear this is where scientists, journalists, and educators are gravitating, so here I am. Anyone interested in chatting about using #genderdata and #collectiveaction to get our #reprorights back & to end #violenceagainstwomen? Time for civic preparedness my academic friends!
