Thanks so much @openbookpublish.bsky.social for helping spread the word about this -- the results will be available later this month, just in time for the midterms!

The WH continues to defy congress.
A fifth of federal $, appropriated by congress for the NSF got moved to DoD. Less foundational research will be supported.
ICYMI @defendresearch.bsky.social & @penamerica.bsky.social launched Word Wipe, a great tool for seeing what a world redacted of the Trump admin's banned words looks like. Try it out!
Kudos to @funsizesuze.bsky.social for developing it!

Alright, let’s all get on the same page about Vought/NIH/Trump. THEY👏WILL👏STOP👏AT👏NOTHING👏 The goal is to destroy the STEM ecosystem, universities, and democracy as we have known it. PERIOD. The only way to win is to impeach them all…which means we need Congress. HERE’S HOW WE WIN 🧵
Please do consider supporting this important research -- you can donate and/or help spread the word (the @defendresearch.bsky.social team will be providing toolkits to help). Thank you!

I had a sneak peek at @researchconsulting.bsky.social's early findings last week -- super interesting and strong evidence of how #censorship is impacting public health & epidemiology. Please do join us!
I wish I could say this was the scariest thing I’ve ever read but it’s not even the scariest thing I’ve read this fucking week (see warning of AI annihilation of humanity). But it IS the most frightening thing I’ve read today for sure.
The biggest silver lining imaginable in what could otherwise have been a travel nightmare! Thank you so much @leerandall.bsky.social - what a treat to see you if only briefly xoxo
In my #DefendResearch work I‘ve had the privilege of meeting some of the inspiring @27unihted.bsky.social team incl Sylvia Chou & Alexa Romberg who talked to me about their experiences of US govt #censorship & more for @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social
scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2026/09/08/u...
I’m really looking forward to hearing @researchconsulting.bsky.social‘s early findings from their study of the impact of US govt censorship of public health & epidemiology. Hope you can join us!
Noooooooooo
