Excited to share our recent study of climate role model narratives on social media! academic.oup.com/oocc/advance... @joshettinger.bsky.social @maibached.bsky.social

Our latest research, led by @finejulia6.bsky.social, suggests: U.S. federal climate policy & health policy are not well integrated. Better integration can build support for climate policy & maximize mutual benefits. Education, coordination & advocacy are needed to advance climate-health policy.

I'm delighted to share our recently published research study on the potential to better integrate health policy & climate policy in the US federal government--for the benefit of all Americans, now and in the future. @finejulia6.bsky.social @joshettinger.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Great new research by my colleague @joshettinger.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In the wake of the attack on the CDC, HHS employees are speaking out against RFK Jr.'s reckless spreading of the same anti-vax misinformation that motivated the attacker. Non–HHS employees can sign as well. www.savehhs.org/read-the-let...

At the NIH vigil today. This is what we're fighting for. @nihvigils.bsky.social

Good Scientific American story about the letters of dissent from 4 federal science agencies (to date)... www.scientificamerican.com/article/trum...

NASA & her beloved caretakers have issued the NASA VOYAGER DECLARATION, a letter of formal dissent as defined in NASA Procedural Requirement 7120.5F. They join NIH & EPA in voicing their clear objection to the illegal & immoral objectives of the Trump administration.

Show up to support NIH scientists this Monday in their resistance efforts. actionnetwork.org/events/bethe...

Bethesda Declaration signers stand with the EPA 139.

NIH’s National Cancer Institute, which is facing censorship and funding cuts, has found that particulate matter air pollution causes DNA-level damage tied to lung cancer in non-smokers. Read @insideclimatenews.org @keerti_gopal’s article here: insideclimatenews.or...

On Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work — and the federal cuts that now threaten it.

Today in DC, we joined over 20 scientists whose research grants were canceled by the Trump admin. They shared what’s at stake when science is politicized, and what we lose when solutions to our biggest problems are cast aside. #StandUpForScience

The horrors persist, but so do we.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is claiming he suffered “severe beatings,” sleep deprivation, malnutrition and other forms of torture at the hands of his jailers.

NEW: per multiple sources, apparently there may be punishment/retaliation coming for EPA employees who signed the Declaration of Dissent this week. People are starting to get letters putting them on administrative leave, seems like potentially targeted at those who signed with their names.

EPA employees are courageously speaking out against Administrator Zeldin's undermining of their life-saving work. I just signed their declaration, as can anyone who wishes to show solidarity. www.standupforscience.net/epa-declarat...

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

Health professionals: It's time to speak up for climate action. How? Join us at the Medical Society Consortium for Climate and Health and we will get you engaged. #StrongerTogether www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khyz... @docsforclimate.bsky.social @lisapatel.bsky.social @bfrist.bsky.social

NEW: Dozens of staffers walked out of Jay Bhattacharya’s first town hall event on Monday after the NIH director said he believed the lab leak conspiracy theory. We got video. www.importantcontext.news/p/i-believe-...

Academic workers across the country are calling 📞 Legislators to ask them to sign on to bipartisan letters ✉️ in support of robust NIH funding and opposing the 15% indirect cost caps. Take 5 minutes to call your legislators today. Deadline is May 19th. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

As of December, more than half of registered voters wanted federal agencies to *increase* their efforts to protect people from the health harms of climate change.

RFK lied to the American people. He said they haven’t fired scientists. That must be news to the scientists he fired.

“RFK has failed as a leader and needs to be removed. I am sick of the lies, sick of not being able to do my work, sick of the constant attacks…but we will not give up.” –My husband, @ianlmorgan.bsky.social, at a rally with @alsobrooks.senate.gov Could not be more proud!

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

Beautiful and powerful memorial at the NIH today for what’s been lost through the cuts. This will be a weekly occurrence.

🔔BREAKING🔔 The NSF has frozen all research grant awards—cutting off life-saving science midstream and demanding ideological screenings for future funding. This is censorship disguised as oversight. Here’s how you can help us spread the word ➡️🧵(1/3): www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"Climate change is not a future problem. It is a NOW problem [...] When we defund weather, climate, & environmental research, we blindfold ourselves in the middle of a burning house." #EarthDay op-ed from @irinaclimatemom.bsky.social & @michaelemann.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/philadel...

I have a friend at the NIH who works on studying and treating the rare disease, muscular dystrophy. His contract expires today on Easter. Tomorrow, he may not have a job. His work will be lost, and patients with muscular dystrophy will have to wait that much longer for relief. 1/11🧪

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Calling my senators and telling them to filibuster the SAVE act.

what a visual

Here's how you end a Hands Off! demonstration, Santa Barbara style. Thanks to the Society of Fearless Grandmothers, who organized the human alphabet and took the drone shots! #indivisible #handsoff

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now
