‪Today we stood together with researchers @kaitlinmurtha.bsky.social @stepsbystef.bsky.social, students, educators, and supporters at the Stand Up for Science rally in NYC. This is what collective action for science looks like.

TAX THE RICH FOR SCIENCE. FUND OUR FUTURE.

We are going to Albany! acesse.one/B8lTN

Join us for a Sinai-wide Town Hall to show our elected representatives the importance of expanding funding for early-stage research at institutions like Sinai. forms.gle/fWvvHRJhp2Uo...

Rally with FUND NY SCIENCE in Albany this Wednesday, February 25th, to call for greater investment in public services for New Yorkers. docs.google.com/forms/d/10Yy...

"Expanded state funding for biomedical research would help attract early career scientists, elevate research and innovation and keep NY competitive.” - Joseph Powell @weillcornell.bsky.social

We are urging our representatives to support biomedical research and the workers who sustain it. Get involved: docs.google.comformsd/10Yy8SaQEaEd...

We will stand with our brothers and sisters at @nynurses.bsky.social until they win! #FairContractNow

Freezing nights don’t stop us from supporting @nynurses.bsky.social on strike at Mount Sinai. Their fight for dignity and safe working conditions is our fight too ✊ #WhenWeFightWeWin

"EBRI would help sustain the vital funding streams that keep progress in psychiatry moving forwards." - Justice Simonetti, Graduate Student Researcher Icahn School of Medicne at Mount Sinai

"Before 2025 we relied on several grants from NIH but when they got expired we lost a lot of good scientists. As a New Yorker I believe we should keep investing in medical research to keep all of our work ongoing at the top level." - Debmalya Mitra, Associate Research Scientist Columbia University

Lobbying in Albany with @uaw.org and @cpw-uaw4100.bsky.social for the Empire Biomedical Research Institute. Learn more: @fundnyscience.bsky.social.

Today we stood with striking nurses @nynurses.bsky.social on the picket line fighting for safe staffing, quality patient care, and fair working conditions. Solidarity forever✊

"NY State has a long history as a leader in biomedical research and training and the proposed EBRI will allow us to continue to build this legacy by ensuring steady research and training funds that never hamper scientific progress." Matty Lesko, Grad. Student Researcher @sunyofficial.bsky.social

"Increased state funding for biomedical research in New York would combat recent threats to basic research and pave the way for discoveries that can benefit New Yorkers and stimulate the state economy.” - Paige Arnold, Postdoctoral Fellow @rockefeller.edu

"Dedicated state funding for science could help to alleviate the growing uncertainty which will attract and retain talent coming to New York from all over the world to perform practice-changing research." - Juliane Grimm, Postdoctoral Fellow @einsteinmededu.bsky.social

Today in Albany, we made the case to dozens of state legislators and staff for investing in NY science through the Empire State Biomedical Research proposal. #FundNYScience

"My Lab's funding has been affected by the Trump administration's attacks on higher education. This limits how much research can get done and how many students and postdocs we can recruit. We need state funding to protect research and researchers. The time is now to fund the #EBRI." - Andrea Joseph

Stand up for science research, time for creative and bold solutions ! @uawregion9a.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social

"When science funding is disrupted, it doesn’t just slow down discovery, it also cuts short promising careers, with rippling effects on society and healthcare. We actually have a real opportunity right now to change the narrative, right here in NY." @samhegde.bsky.social

State-backed research funding will make NY a haven for biomedical progress! @governor.ny.gov & Albany can capitalize on this opportunity by supporting EBRI ! Was moved to see such a broad + committed coalition across @nycures.bsky.social @amsny and @uawregion9a.bsky.social . Science is political !

Thanks to elected leaders & staff who listened to our stories, expressed support, and asked thoughtful questions to move this discussion forward @sengianaris.bsky.social @jessicaramosqns.bsky.social @senatorharckham.bsky.social @RachelMayNY.bsky.social Sen. Bynoe Sen. Scarcella-Spanton Sen. Brouk

Our Virtual Statewide Town Hall for Medical Research is tomorrow, Friday Jan 9, 12pm. Join New York researchers and elected officials, medical colleges, and patients to discuss how state funding can drive life-saving biomedical research across New York.

Science saves lives, creates jobs, and strengthens New York’s economy. We’re fighting for the state to invest in the science that serves the public good. @amsnyc.bsky.social @nycures.bsky.social @uawregion9a.bsky.social @governor.ny.gov

"New York is a place of ideas, opportunities and growth. Establishing EBRI will allow scientists to focus on them." - Daniel Savran, Postdoctoral Research Scientist @columbiauniversity.bsky.social
