hi again, cis folks!

the comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit is open til april 11.

context & guidance in the thread below. it doesn’t have to be hard; you can do it waiting for coffee.

13 days left, as of this post. please comment.
hi, cis folks!

if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.

~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.

that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

With so many doc students relying on tenuous/stopped grant support, it needs to be all faculty hands on deck to help them find other opportunities for moving them expeditiously to degree. This collective mentoring model offers ideas on how faculty can help. #AcademicSky

Spent this Valentine’s Day with @vincip.bsky.social standing up for science! I’m very grateful that she puts up with my shenanigans - today this included designing stickers with a QR code to contact reps about the current attacks on scientific research.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

Make no mistake, we will win this fight. While there are lots of folks who don't know trans people well, they are repelled by the immense power of the federal government being brought to bear with such dishonesty and cruelty.

Happy birthday to Charles Darwin, who wrote one of the most poetic lines ever dropped in scientific writing:
"There is grandeur in this view of life - that from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."

For every dollar of federal research funding in the United States, universities generate between $2.30 and $3.00 of economy activity, much of that in local communities.

That doesn’t even include the return on investment of getting a college or graduate degree, which research also dollars support.

No, this is what happened - men took programming jobs over when they became well paid and high status.

This is a pattern that has occurred in many industries, from teaching to veterinary science.
