Really comprehensive and brutal description of what’s going on at US science agencies by @dereklowe.bsky.social. Read to the end: because this doesn’t need to continue, the rest is not inevitable. We can fight back.
I’ve unfortunately needed to add more material to my post from yesterday. The re-election of Donald Trump is looking like the biggest act of American self-destruction since the Civil War.

Same link, new title and some updates.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.

Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Dear Modern Humans,

You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not.

Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts.

It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

Have had some good chats recently about pivoting to non-profit and society journals. A point to share/underline is that such options exist across the "prestige" spectrum. Some examples in the image. All heavily subjective of course; would love to hear thoughts from others!
