Loves science. Willing to stand up and speak out for it. Really just wants to be in lab but here to scream into the void.

- Reposted by Science GorillaYES! A step in the right direction. After a horrendous year for science & the #NIH, it is imperative to protect it from political interference. NIH's success is due to decisions based on science, not political ideology. Science does not belong to politicians. 🧪 degette.house.gov/media-center...

As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

- Reposted by Science GorillaEvery week, Nature publishes yet another breathless puff piece about some AI startup, based only unpublished claims from the company and interviewing only those who work there. How can the leading scientific journal publish piece after piece that would make Kevin Roose blush? I think it's that...

- Reposted by Science Gorilla🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.
- Reposted by Science GorillaNSF - Forced reorg - POs down ~ 40% (DRP, most rotators not renewed, retirements) - Forced move (and we have to pack and clean) to a building with no furniture, little to no conference space for panels, inadequate 🛜, …) I personally love the boxes they gave us for packing. “Details matter” 🙃
- Reposted by Science GorillaNormally, I'm against impeachments that have zero chance of conviction ( I know, I know, unpopular opinion), but with RFK JR, I'm making an exception. Impeachment the SOB. HIs policies will still be at CDC after he's gone. We need to ruin his reputation IMPEACH RFK JR!
