Everything we care about is under siege by a racist, misogynist, and homophobic president.

When an expert on authoritarianism (@anneapplebaum.bsky.social) is writing about your scientific meeting, alarm bells should go off. Write to American Diabetes Association CEO Charles Henderson at chenderson@diabetes.org and Chief Medical Officer Rita Rastogi Kalyani at rkalyani@diabetes.org.

This is the editorial that the physicians were sharing at the American Diabetes Association conference To appease the MAGA/MAHA Administration, the ADA called the cops to get the physicians removed These physicians are heroic If you can’t speak out & condemn authoritarianism NOW, then when?
Jenna Norton@jenna-m-norton.bsky.social · 3mo agoExcellent editorial in today's Diabetes Care charing scientists to engage and speak up and act now. I could not agree more! diabetesjournals.org/care/article... Some highlights: 🧵1/10
Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

You’re at the bar having that first drink of the night 🍻 the excited, energized feeling you may have is the “stimulant response” to alcohol - a risk factor for alcohol use disorder. We researched an understudied cell-type’s role in this response #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Immediate opening for a postdoc interested in the neurobiology of alcohol use disorder. Seeking candidates with whole-cell patch clamp experience. 4+ yr funded position. Come join us at Wake Forest Univ. Formal ad coming soon. DM/email me (jeffrey.weiner@wfusm.edu) or repost. #Neuroscience #Postdoc
What does the new OMB proposal mean for science? How can we STOP VOUGHT and SAVE SCIENCE together? All of these questions and more to be discussed at the Emergency Science Meeting on June 2nd, 4PM ET, hosted by Stand Up for Science! Register at the link in our bio, or go here: zurl.co/g3vTZ

In the #NASEM chat with Bhattacharya, he talks about how supporting innovation will support early career scientists. Meanwhile, under his leadership, early career scientists have disproportionately suffered. Early career scientists were disproportionately affected by terminations.
Bhattacharya is discussing the problem of replication in research. A major source of failure to replicate is lack of diversity in the original study population. Thus his anti "DEI" efforts -- which end up excluding already underrepresented people from research -- are undermining his stated goal.
I often think about what it will look like to rebuild NIH. It's going to be hard, expensive work. And that's if we stop the damage and start rebuilding soon. It's only going to get harder the longer this lasts.
Gregg Gonsalves@gregggonsalves.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.
In a First for the U.S., Renewables Generate More Power Than Natural Gas
In March, for the first time, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the transition to clean power. However, rising power demand is complicating the shift away from fossil fuels by extending the lives of many aging coal power plants.

Science needs more than funding to prosper. We aren’t going to find the cure for Alzheimer’s disease through hostility, govt sponsored misinformation, banning words, eliminating DEI efforts, and spotlighting fringe conspiracy theories. One party is doing this. One party is fighting against this.

While Trump launches us into a new forever war, he’s quietly preparing to take over our elections at home and rig the midterms in his favor. He knows he can’t win on the merits, so he’s preparing to cheat. We won’t let him get away with it.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
