A reminder on the day of @standupforscience.bsky.social that Trump picked Jay Bhattacharya to run NIH, and Bhattacharya will destroy NIH and with it US science. Please just read his writing. It’s very bad. He’s been picked to kill the agency from within.

We would encourage all scientists (and everyone!) to simply read the writing of Dr. Jay "Epoch Times" Bhattacharya. In terms of what circles he runs in, it's also worth looking at what else the Epoch Times publishes. 1/2

Try to build up a larger network by reaching out to other groups that are affected by Trump's policies, such as unions and NGOs. This is a broad attack on the very foundations of democracy and a broad coalition is required to face it.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

dear academics, in these trying times (powered by AI & totalitarianism), let your intellectual integrity be your north star. fuck respectability politics & “neutrality”. if you can’t actively call out nazism, injustice & general toxicity, what really is the point of your privilege?

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Incredibly grateful and honored to receive the 2025 Overton Prize ♥️ Surreal to follow the steps of my science heroes🙏 Truly, credit goes to my amazing students, collaborators and mentors who make research so inspiring! Also underscores the value of open academic environment that make this possible

At the @arcinstitute.org we are building AI models of cell state from the ground up, rethinking every step, from data generation to biologically relevant evaluation Today we launch scBaseCamp, the largest public repository of single cell RNAseq data, uniformly processed from raw sequencing reads.
