Thank you to @mildobserver.bsky.social from SF Public Press for highlighting the challenges facing researchers in today’s uncertain funding environment. Check out the piece featuring SPG at UCSF leader @sneharao.bsky.social and our colleague @erinmorrow.bsky.social from @scipolucla.bsky.social!

What happens when science funding disappears? At UCSF and the SF VA, labs are laying off staff, trials are paused, and patients are left waiting. Our new Civic episode breaks down how federal cuts — and now a shutdown — are reshaping science in the Bay Area. 🎧

Thanks @mildobserver.bsky.social for taking the time to chat with me, superstar @erinmorrow.bsky.social & others. Our convo was inspired by the McClintock Letters, run by @cornellasap.bsky.social & @snapcoalition.bsky.social, w/ the mission of reconnecting scientists with their hometown communities.

The best group!!! Now is a great time to join us if you’re interested in learning about how to engage in advocacy and policy as a scientist!
