Drexel University is very suddenly shutting down their museum of Natural History which hosts key specimens. There's more info here about what we can do to raise our voices: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxyf...

The crowd was decidedly intergenerational.

Please repost! Drexel announced that it will close the Academy of Natural Sciences public museum- the oldest nat history museum in the US. There are 2 petitions to support the academy. Please sign both & come to our rally Tues. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pe... www.change.org/p/the-academ...

Today’s rally to save the academy of natural sciences was incredible. Hundreds of people turned out. This is only the beginning. Follow along with save-the-academy.org

Decades of evidence show that immigrants make disproportionate contributions to scientific discovery and technological advancement. As of 2019, nearly one in four STEM workers in the United States was foreign-born. Scientists cannot afford to treat this as someone else’s issue.

As individual actors, scientists are not positioned to stand up to a coordinated federal assault, but COLLECTIVELY SCIENTISTS HAVE POWER. This power comes from organization... especially unions. Check out the latest article on our Substack, by @dramandar.bsky.social

Mark your calendars, Science Jawns🧪🦅! 🗓️ On 3/5: We are hosting a teach-in discussing the state of American science one year into the Trump Administration. 🗓️ On 3/7: We are once again hosting Philly's @standupforscience.bsky.social Day of Action Rally and March.

This is an easy one, Jameson. JUST SAY NO. "J. Larry Jameson said the school will evaluate a proposed compact from President Donald Trump’s administration based on the school’s values and mission... freedom of inquiry and thought, free expression, non-discrimination" share.inquirer.com/jTf7PW

"Each concession leaves institutions more entangled with the federal government and more vulnerable to future coercion. Resistance must be strong, early, and sustained, or the space for resistance will vanish." Read our latest blog post by @dramandar.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/philadel...
