OMB, HHS, and NIH_Leadership™ seem to think this is all a big game. They don't give a flying fuck about the taxpayers, research study participants, researchers, or anything else related to science in their quest to further their unrelated political agenda. 7/7

Let's Streisand-effect these people. Here's the editorial that somehow merited calling the cops. Read and share.

Misguided Brushes of a Pen Continue to Dismantle and Destroy Biomedical Research in the United States: We Can No Longer Afford Complacency and Fear. We Must All Act Now!

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

#ORS2026 #donutRIG enjoyed a wonderful donut at The Salty. Silky smooth, very light, would eat again.

At #ORS2026? Don't miss "Advocating for Impact: Shaping Public Policy and Funding the Future of Orthopaedic Research". This advocacy workshop features AIMBE Executive Director Dawn Beraud and Former NIH Deputy Director for Extramural Research Michael Lauer at 2:30 - 3:30 PM on Sunday 3/29

Get in, dorks. We're ready for round two. RALLY TO TAKE BACK SCIENCE! 🔬🧪✊ March 7th, 2026 in Washington, DC Learn more at www.standupforscience.net/ma... (link in our bio.)

Someone just texted me these photos. They say it shows work taking place right now to physically change the sign on the Kennedy Center. If that’s correct, this needs to stop as it’s illegal to change without Congress.

8 high level positions at NIH posted including 6 institute director positions (NIMH, NIGMS, NICHD, NIDCR, NHGRI, NLM). Only open for 2 weeks (applications due November 21). Application materials include a) CV b) vision statement c) a photocopy of doctoral degree. hr.nih.gov/careers/open...

Science brings people together - sometimes with data, sometimes with birthdays, always with food! Fun lunch with Dr. Freeman & Dr. Collins’ labs celebrating three of our #orthoresearch lab members who share the same October birthday! #OrthoResearch @orssociety.bsky.social

Advocacy is personal. Share the human side of your #musculoskeletal research with photos, videos, or stories showing how #orthopaedic science changes lives. Post with #OrthoResearch and tag us to amplify your impact! Find ORS social media channels: https://bit.ly/4fwTig9

Just here to remind everyone that while the federal government is shutdown, all study sections at the NIH are currently on hold. Another blow to science and to early career scientists like myself with young labs and research groups. Very hard to remain positive about this career path.

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

AIMBE is hosting a symposium titled "The Importance of Advocacy in Biomedical Research" at the @amsocbiomech.bsky.social Meeting on 8/14! Join @dawnberaud.bsky.social and our Fellows @troy-biomechlab.bsky.social, Kate Saul, and Jill Higginson for this important conversation on advocacy 👇

From @aaas.org check-in with Sudip Parikh: a letter by 14 Republican senators urge the Office of Management and Budget to release NIH funding. If this includes your state (AL, ME, WV, SC, KY, KS, AR, PA, NC, IN, AK), Sudip recommends contacting & thanking them for being American science leaders.

New analysis shows Trump's budget would slash basic science research by roughly 34 percent. The disastrous budget “would essentially end America’s longstanding role as the world leader in science,” warns the Association of American Universities. zurl.co/Sy7dI #CutsCostLives #StandUpForScience

"Science is an investment. We will put forward a new 500 million package for 2025-2027 to support the best and the brightest researchers and scientists from Europe and around the world." — President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu at the ‘Choose Europe for Science' event at La Sorbonne 🇫🇷

Are you a top US-based scientist wanting to relocate to Australia? We are now calling for formal applications from both Australian and non-Australian citizens based in the US whose work is internationally recognised as exceptional. 📅 Applications close: Aug 29, 2025 🔗 science.org.au/gtap/?utm_so...

So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death. A mini medieval story time!

To attract top global talent, #WesternU is doubling the number of Postdoctoral Fellowship Program awards and launching the new US-CAN Doctoral Excellence Awards. #CdnPSE #HigherEd

Western expands PhD and postdoc funding - Western News

Western is boosting funding for postdoctoral fellows and PhD candidates from the U.S. and other countries with expanded and new award programs.

I've received additional confirmation, as well as an email I can share publicly. See the directive NIH grants management staff received from Michelle Bulls, director of extramural policy at NIH:

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

Every scientist should discuss the consequences of the NIH and NSF grant terminations and delays and failure to fund at their home institution at the end of a talk or seminar. Even if a scientist’s own funding is not threatened, I GUARANTEE there is someone at their institution affected.

It's breaking my brain to hear amazing talks that show treatments that help patients developed out of fundamental research, while temporarily ignoring the backdrop of the American science funding disaster

The biggest scandal in U.S. history is hiding in plain sight. The president and his family are boosting their wealth by $1 billion every month, selling the power and prestige of the White House. Giving this a name - Cryptogate - and a concise guide. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

“Being in sync with what this administration is trying to accomplish” is not, in fact, a core tenet of any academic discipline.
