Les choix de tribune sont parfois étonnants. Voilà deux types qui débarquent après la bataille, feignent d'ignorer #InSolidarity et #StandUpForScience, n'ont rien rigoureusement rien à dire d'intéressant sur les attaques contre les sciences aux Etats-Unis.

I understand you. If I didn't know this, given the circumstances, I would want to commit suicide and get it over with, because I really always knew it. Look, I'm full of life now because I know it.
Glad to see that the Irish Research Staff Association along with many other organisation has endorsed the @ALLEA statement on threats to academic freedom and international Research Collaboration in the US.
I suppose next to (or along with) the Periodic Table, the DNA duplex is the most recognizable " #Science "
thing. Nice to see people excited and come up to share their science wears (earrings on one, and this lovely TShirt person I took a selfie with)
I did heed @blogdiva on rally attire and put on a lab coat too!
And quite a good turnout! There was a brief march from Schenley around Cathy Fifth/Forbes, Bellefield and back
#StandUpForScience #HandsOff #Pittsburgh
Good turnout (crowd pic is before start time - it went up a lot after!)
#StandUpForScience #HandsOff #Pittsburgh
Decided to do some #GuerrillaScience #Outreach with some colleagues
Carl Sagan is one of those scientists I greatly admired as a child. I watched his series Cosmos on tv and I even bought the book, which was also translated into Dutch, my mother tongue. Sagan is definitely one of those scientists who helped fuel my later interest in science. #StandUpForScience
Seth Rogen stood up for science! And promptly got censored by oligarchs, it was that good.
@ZLabe ... for helping with #Safeguarding I recommend to follow @SafeguardingResearch and become part of the crowd.
Here it comes, #Canada: "Pierre Poilievre has pledged to 'end the imposition of woke ideology in the allocation of federal funds for university research' should his party win the Canadian federal election on 28 April."
@amici would that count in as #StandUpForScience ?
Malgré des mesures de rétorsion financières qui se chiffrent en milliards de dollar, une première université américaine décide de tenir tête à Trump
