An illustration of the profile of a Black woman with locks, adorned with shells and gold beads and rings. She is staring to the left and wearing an orange tank top. There is a pink glow on parts of her skin. A sagittal brain section is shown on her head. The image is against a creamy-colored background. The text reads “Black In Neuro Annual Report 2023-2024”.

Friends, I am at a loss of words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural #NIH program. Some of the biggest medical and scientific breakthroughs have come from scientists in the NIH Intramural program. #SaveTheNIH 🧬🧪 🖥️ 🧠 www.science.org/content/arti...

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research

Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

As one of the original March for Science organizers, I couldn't be more excited to support a new team that is organizing another day of mass mobilization in support of science at a time when we need it most. Here's a great interview with the @standupforscience.bsky.social team in @sciam.bsky.social

What if I told y’all that race is, in fact, not an immutable characteristic? It is a construct created to parce power, opportunity and economic advantage. A person racialized as Black might be 10% African or 100%, but regardless of genetics, they share a common history of exclusion.

Federal employees have now received emails warning that they could face repercussions if they do not report on co-workers who work in diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility positions that might have gone unnoticed by government supervisors. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Federal employees are told to name colleagues who work in DEI roles or risk 'adverse consequences'

Emails sent to government workers at numerous agencies gave employees 10 days to report if a colleague's job relates to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
