Why is our president doing a Tesla ad? What the heck.

Standing up for science in Denver with my mom who is a retired federal computer programmer from the National Finance Center who now works as a research associate enrolling older veterans in clinical trials. She actually understands COBAL unlike Musks minions. #sciencenotsilence #standupforscience

New low to have a president bragging about leaving the WHO and the UN human rights council and Republicans cheering about it. Sad, sad time for our country.

A great summary of the impacts of recent executive orders on the US biomedical education and research system by Dr. @drmeilanhan.bsky.social.

I wish that our former presidents would finally speak up on what we are seeing and in support of Ukraine.🇺🇦

Pass it on.
#StandWithUkraine

No matter what happened in the Oval Office, I am proud to be a Ukranian American. Today and everyday.

As a Ukrainian American, I am so sad today. JD Vance, you are from a state with a large Ukrainian American community. Shameful and sad.

"These common values must now propel everyone in the scientific community to work together as never before to stand up for science. Although the individual messages ... might seem inadequate on their own, it is their collective power that matters"

#SCCM2025 Challenge: at every panel, a question from the audience should be “how would the gutting of NIH funding, expertise, and even pubmed librarians effect the ability to continue to advance this important research and practice advances?”

My colleagues and I have a piece out today in NYT: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/o...

MUST-READ Op-ed in today's NY Times by 3 ATS members, pulmonologists: "Censored Science Can't Save Lives." Thank you, Drs. Jehan Alladina, C. Corey Hardin and Alexander Rabin, for using your voices.

“Censoring research puts lives at risk & undermines America’s leadership. Progress cannot occur if scientists are barred from asking certain questions. This is not how science works”
A great op-ed by 3 pulmonologists

This is a picture of my son taken soon after he was born. I suffered from a very rare pregnancy complication. But thanks to physicians at the University of Michigan and a lot of US funded research, he was born healthy. Please post, who has Science Saved for you? #WhoScienceSaves #MedSky
