Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.

Thanks to @clurelise.bsky.social for taking the time to listen & share my story, clearly putting into words the uncertainty and anxiety many of us have about our professional futures.

I spent my early career in museums and I endorse everything that Emily says here. If I can add my own take it’s that Museums produce some of the most amazing scientists and people, like Emily! Museums build empathy with the world and we need to fight for them

Losing the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) would be an act of monumental neglect. I made a video about what’s at risk, and how orgs like @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social and the American Alliance of Museums need us to help advocate for these critical places. youtu.be/fYLC-KWy-Ks?...

Haven't had time to watch this yet (will do it tonight!) but sharing it anyway because I'm 100% sure Emily's thoughts on this are worth your time.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

After WWII, the Museum of Natural History in Berlin fell on the eastern side of the Wall. Scientists were prohibited from collaborating w/ anyone besides those in communist countries (which is why they’ve got a phenomenal land snail collection from Cuba.) www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/cdc-wh...

CDC Staff Prohibited From Co-Authoring Papers With World Health Organization Personnel

It’s just the latest “Orwellian” crackdown on government scientists.

Hello, internet! Things are bad for our trans & queer friends in the US, so I teamed up with bsky's nature artists to create this pack containing 80 wallpapers and growing. 1. Donate to one of the two orgs below 2. DM me your receipt 3. I'll give you a download link Valid til the end of the month

a collage of various artwork, ranging from birds, bugs, bears, and other things that don't start with B like whales and flowers

I’m looking to follow more ppl on this app- writers/journalists, artists, scientists or organizations you love to follow right now. Good news, bad news, no news — link below please!

I recently spoke with a friend on the inside of one of those major 3-letter federal agencies, and although this isn’t groundbreaking news I thought it was helpful context: The scrubbing of DEI mentions is a distraction tactic & pressure campaign for federal employees as much as it is the public

The news cycle right now - even just for science & higher ed - is overwhelming. We have to do it, but fortunately, we don’t have to do it alone. My team is focused on tracking what’s happening to research funding, jobs & salaries, shared datasets, university responses & safety of our communities

Oh man imagine you don’t know what this guy does for a living, you’re at a dimly-lit party and ask him about his job “I’m the leech man 😈” as they slither out of his nose “AND THEY WANT A NEW HOST 👹”

Veeloxxy Bites@the-episiarch.bsky.social · 2y ago

Sometimes, scientists put their own body on the line in the name of science - in this case a parasitologist decided to become a temporary host in order to investigate the life history of an enigmatic nose leech #Invertebrate 🧪 dailyparasite.blogspot.com/2019/10/dino...

Who shot the cheetah kittens? I remember having this thought fifteen years ago when visiting the Field Museum. I understood the rationale for taking specimens for science, but still—look at those little faces. Who could make specimens of them? Turns out there's an answer. (CW: animal death) 🧵🧪

I’ve seen a bunch of smug takes lately about “welll you shouldn’t have relied on social media, you fools.” But where is the alternative? We’ve disinvested from science education, from science journalism, and it’s good, actually, for independent people trying to make the world better to be supported.
