This graphic of Trump’s cuts to NASA’s research fleet is insane. Why do this? Who wants this? Who was complaining we were exploring space too much? The only principle seems to be “if it can’t go directly into Trump or Musk’s own pockets, dump it in the trash.”

It helps to have a name (sponsorship) for behavior that promotes others, e.g., sharing their research, celebrating their successes. It’s kind of reverse-networking—connecting by sharing your resources instead of connecting to gain access to others’ resources.

An analysis of ~100,000 academics finds that a small subset of academics generate majority of tweets. That vocal minority can skew how the public—and even journalists—infer “academic consensus,” potentially fueling false perceptions.

No one in America wants us to do LESS cancer research. No one is asking Trump to make it harder to cure Alzheimer's disease. And no one is asking to cut clinical trials. Yet Trump is cutting all of this NOW and demanding an $18 BILLION cut to NIH next year. Not on my watch.

Trump's NIH Director is asking for an $18 BILLION cut to NIH. He refused to say how many fewer clinical trials would be funded as a result. That’s because he knows these cuts mean fewer clinical trials & fewer cures. Trump's budget is going NOWHERE as far as I'm concerned.

Think of all the ink spilled over the past 8 years loudly declaring Republicans as the party of free speech because conservative speakers were subject to campus boycotts.

We tend to avoid things that are difficult, unpleasant, or challenging. We use tools to make our lives easier. We buy products to make them more convenient. "But at the same time, we do things all the time that require effort. In fact, effort seems to be the only point of doing

Republicans’ budget plan includes billions for private school vouchers that take away public school funding. While private schools can turn kids away, public schools work to ensure everyone can get a quality education. We must support public schools so all kids can realize
