From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.
Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

FRIDAY: Join @standupforscience.bsky.social rallies around the US to protest funding cuts, illegal firings, and censorship of scientists. In response to the attacks, the most important thing we can do is to visually show that science has strong support in this country, so please show up if you can!

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.
This Friday, where will you be?

Trump is stealing billions of dollars in critical research funding to give tax cuts to billionaires. New Yorkers won't stand for it.
Proud to stand with @uaw.org Region 9A and hundreds of researchers, faculty, and academic workers yesterday to #DefendPublicResearch.

Must watch speech by neuroscientist Kailyn Price at a HHS rally protesting funding cuts to science.
"Cutting indirect costs is like telling a football team to work with only the players.
No lights for the field, no physical therapists for the players, no water for the showers."
