Y'ALL.

I got an email from Stand Up For Science inviting me to send a "Quack-o-gram" to my representative for $3.

Stand Up For Science will hand deliver a rubber ducky and the serious message "KENNEDY MUST GO" to your member of Congress, all for less than the cost of a latte.

I call that a deal. 😂 🦆

Hundreds of NASA employees and supporters have signed the #VoyagerDeclaration, formally expressing dissent against budget cuts and attacks on key NASA missions.

This action follows similar statements from #NIH and #EPA communities, voicing objection to the unlawful policies of the Trump administration.

The attacks on our immigrant communities contribute to the destruction of US science as well as the erosion of all our rights.

This Korean-American PhD candidate at Texas A&M, Will (Tae Heung) Kim, is a lawful resident who was arrested by #ICE at SFO airport upon returning from his brother's wedding in Korea.

"His detention appears to be based on a single, resolved 14-year-old misdemeanor for minimal marijuana possession." :eyeroll:

"Climate scientists in the United States are to be cut off from satellite data measuring the amount of sea ice — a sensitive barometer of climate change — as the U.S. Department of Defense announces plans to cancel processing of the data for scientific research."

"The changes are the latest attacks by the U.S. government on science and the funding of scientific research in an effort to slash the budget to enable tax cuts elsewhere. Already, these attacks have seen the Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the National Science Foundation evicted from their offices, references to climate science removed from websites, funding of data for hurricane forecasts cancelled, and dozens of NASA missions under threat and their project teams asked to produce close-down plans as the space agency's budget is slashed."

STAND UP FOR SCIENCESTAND UP FOR SCIENCE
Continued thread

So many people coming forward to speak up for #Science
Scientists, grant administrators, long retired professors from Pitt Med school, undergraduates and grad students from #Pitt and #CarnegieMellon
Non scientists too
They kept coming up! So awesome. One undergrad (here for summer research) mentioned how hopeful this gathering and speakers made her.

(Won't post their pics/faces here - but it was super encouraging)

Continued thread

No drizzle - nice sunshine this evening at the #MellonInstitute steps here in #Pittsburgh for the #StandUpForScience Vigil
We have a poster board with names of cancelled grants at #CarnegieMellon and #Pitt and paper for people to write down why they do, or how they've been affected by cuts to #Science or why it's important to them
Lots of sidewalk chalk messages from people too.
Continuous trickle of people coming up to speak for few minutes.
