Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for the @standupforscience.net OMB Deadline Day Virtual and Accessible Rally!!!

I attended a FIFA World Cup match to see the 🇳🇱Netherlands play against 🇲🇦Morocco. I enjoyed the experience & stadium atmosphere!

Please keep talking about the new OMB rule!

We keep talking about the Epstein files. I am gonna keep talking about the new OMB rule. It puts science (& new treatments at risk) The rule change sweeps over agencies including Education, NSF, NASA, HHS. It is a politically motivated cancel culture of "woke science" & more. 🧪 bit.ly/4v2X4nQ

The Netherlands are out of the World Cup after losing on penalties to Morocco… 😢

I’m on my way to Estadio Monterrey to watch the Netherlands play against Morocco in the World Cup Round of 32!

Germany just lost on penalties in the World Cup for the first time ever! I don’t believe it.

To anyone watching the US Men’s National Team in the FIFA World Cup: remember that forward Folarin Balogun is a birthright US citizen (born in 🇺🇸, raised in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to 🇳🇬 parents). Several other players on that team are immigrants. Please advocate for immigrant rights because immigrants make America great!

I watched @usmnt.ussoccer.com play against Germany at Soldier Field in Chicago yesterday!

“Large budget uncertainties…” Caused by who? 🤔 (Hint: 🍊, 🧠🪱)

Private funding = no govt barriers. (so we should fund privately) 100,000 feds have been lost (WHY MARCIA, WHY HAVE THEY BEEN LOST?!) "Too many agency leaders who lack science training and experience..." "Large budget uncertainties..." BUT DON'T WORRY EVERYONE, STAC is going to deal with this.

I completely approve of this shirt! Scientific research should serve EVERYONE, and that includes women, girls & others who identify as female (just over 50% of the world’s population!)

This is too important for folks to miss, so I'm just going to screenshot my reporting below. But if you don't already subscribe to Abortion, Every Day please do—we catch stories like this every day.

JD Vance hinted last week that the Trump administration wants to officially stop funding family planning abroad. Not only would that be devastating globally—but would mark another key step in attacking contraception here in the U.S. jessica.substack.com/p/jd-vance-h...

Good morning! I'm calling on scientists and industry to get off the sidelines. Read here: timmermanreport.com/2026/01/scie...

Science and Industry Need to Push Back Hard - TimmermanReport.com

The days of strongly worded letters, statements to the press, white papers, and op-eds are over. The people dismantling science are coming at all we care about with a pliers and a blowtorch. If I have...

I stand with Alex Pretti. May he rest in power. He was a nurse for Veterans Affairs. #ScienceMatters #StaySafeMinnesota

Here’s a list of what we accomplished in 10 months with ~$600k. (P.s., the yearly budgets of legacy science advocacy orgs range from $30 to $120 MILLION per year). Imagine what we could do with even a fraction of that support. Link to give: act.standupforscience.net/fundraising/...

To anyone in Minneapolis reading this: Please stay safe. I have seen all the scary videos coming out of that city. I feel your pain. Hang in there, my fellow foreign students in America (and anyone else feeling unsafe right now). This too shall pass. Know your rights.

I want more for science than a mostly flat budget. I want BREAD AND ROSES! I want our scientific ecosystem to thrive and I’m unapologetic in demanding more and better. Don’t you want that, too? Join us @standupforscience.bsky.social and support us: act.standupforscience.net/fundraising/...

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

I grieve for the students at Brown University who witnessed the horrific shooting. People in America need POLICY & CHANGE, not “thoughts and prayers”. Colleges & universities should be places of learning, research & community, not trauma & loss. 💔

Our hearts are with the students, staff, and families at Brown. We don’t have to live this way. #BrownUniversity

I am disappointed in the statements by current #NWSL player Elizabeth Eddy about gender testing. Trans rights are human rights! Her comments put several players, especially Black ones, at risk due to the NWSL’s inability to protect people such as Barbra Banda. The league must condemn those comments.

Spotted in Miami!

Nigeria have made the second round of African World Cup qualifying after beating Benin 4-0 today. While this is welcome progress, there is still a long way to go for Nigeria. They will need to win an African semifinal, an African final and one inter-confederation game to qualify for World Cup 2026.

Washington Spirit just shouted out federal employees mid game, to a huge ovation 🥹

I’m glad to see that the Washington Spirit is showing love to current & former federal employees. They make America great! -signed, a former DC resident.

Different roots. Same home. ONE SPIRIT 💛 The first 200 federal employees can claim a voucher for a free ticket on a first-come, first-served basis. After that, a limited number of $10 tickets for federal employees will be available so you can bring your friends & family! 🎟️ bit.ly/46vSPrX

Tylenol is safe and effective during pregnancy. Autistic people and pregnant people in the US deserve better. 💙

“The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated.”

I am glad that the #NWSL chose to abandon the game tonight. It seems they have learned from Savy King’s medical emergency earlier this season. I hope that Savannah DeMelo recovers well. Tonight, the players’ well-being mattered more than the soccer game.
