Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Agree...we all should care that American science support, which made this country great, is being ripped apart in mere months. People across the political spectrum need to speak out and there will be an uproar.🧪

Unlawful grant terminations are harming young scientists and threatening innovation. ASCB joins leaders calling for immediate funding restoration.

At least 10 principal researchers at NIH have been fired, including Richard Youle, winner of the Breakthrough Prize for his groundbreaking research identifying mechanisms behind Parkinson’s disease.
Is this making America great?

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world.


I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

This has been devastating. 3 of our neuroscientists are not being renewed, one of which is a core director!

Must watch speech by neuroscientist Kailyn Price at a HHS rally protesting funding cuts to science.

"Cutting indirect costs is like telling a football team to work with only the players.

No lights for the field, no physical therapists for the players, no water for the showers."

Just saw an email sent to a student of mine from a REU canceling their program due to staffing & federal research funding uncertainties.

A REU was when I internalized my science ID & applying to grad school.

If this continues, it will devastate my students #1 pathway to STEM careers.

Great analysis of the indirect cost rate announcement by @stuartbuck.bsky.social
