It’s not just one university. Columbia’s president and board should have joined forces with other presidents and boards and stood up for what is right.

Instead they capitulated.
“This assault [on universities] is part of a broader endeavor, an attempt to take over every key institution in America and make each a vehicle to impose right-wing ideology. If they have to sacrifice cures for disease, so be it.”🚨

It isn't about stopping antisemitism. It's about power.

Time laps frames can be used to create a Startrail. Instead of a movie sequence, the illuminated section of each frame is added to its successor by StarStaX until all the light captured during the long session is recorded on the last frame as if it was a long exposure. #Aurora #Borealis #startrail

Time laps video of Aurora Borealis along E8 connecting Finland and Norway, and on E6 on the way to Narvik (Norway). In the first clip, trucks illuminate the road. The last clip is the best. Several meteors can be seen, in addition to at least 4 satellites. #Aurora #Meteor #Tromso #WonderingOwl

Does anyone know if AAAS, ASCB and others started a campain to contact state delegations regarding the funding freeze? This should be done ASAP across all entities dependent on NIH funds.

Every single employee of NIH funded institute/company should email their state congressional delegation. The impact on state economy will be immediate. Only emergency legislation can stop this Soviet era attack on American science.
