For every 1 animal used in research, there are hundreds to thousands used for food.
Research animals globally: Estimated 50–100 million/year (most are mice, rats, and fish).
Animals killed for food globally: Over 70–80 billion land animals per year, plus trillions of fish.

Robyn St. Laurent: Why science funding matters more than you think

Cutting funding to NIH and and NSF does more than take away career paths for our upcoming generations; it threatens the well-being of people.

Yessss!! My students have been very curious and wanting to discuss this! Have had conversations in my seminar and my lab meetings. Haven’t in my intro class…yet.

BREAKING:
The NIH summer internship program (SIP) has been officially cancelled, across all institutes.

It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/

Alt NIH Bluesky 🧪 @altnih4science.bsky.social · Feb 24

NIDA has announced it, but all the NIH summer internship programs are likely cancelled.

Sorry college students interested in STEM jobs, sorry high school students looking at science 🧪 careers. Trump and Musk are cancelling your futures.

Erika Crable, PhD @erikacrable.bsky.social · Feb 24

Another loss for #science & the next generation of researchers. The 28-year running NIDA summer internship program is cancelled for this year.

Just submitted my first NIH R15 research grant proposal!!!!

With everything that has happened with this grant and I over the past 6+ months, just getting here is a huge victory.

I’m not sure what’s going to happen now, but I’ll celebrate this small win in a sea of chaos and destruction.

☺️ thank you! I think I’m keeping it all in because FFS that is probably the award I am proudest of and means the most to me. If we can’t bring *everyone* up with us, then is what we’re doing even worth it?

Dr. Jennifer Honeycutt @jennifer-honeycutt.bsky.social · Feb 22

I have that award listed in my Biosketch and mention it as proof that I can successfully mentor trainees….for a grant that specifically wants me to increase research access to and mentoring of undergrads.

How do I even approach this while staying true to myself and my students.

Dr. Jennifer Honeycutt @jennifer-honeycutt.bsky.social · Feb 22

So R15 AREAs (due Tues) still have the NIH diversity language in the PAR.

Soooo… I still have pieces about lowering barriers & supporting my students (also that I have a *clutches pearls* award for DEI/mentoring)

And I’m a proud+loud queer/firstgen scientist.

How do we even do this friends 😩

How are you keeping morale up when working on your grants right now?

I feel so frustrated and sad with an upcoming submission and now have two folders for versions: pre and post EO 😔

The time wasted because of an abandonment of support and forward thinking/commitment to trainees is crushing.
