- Reposted by Lourah KellyForced abstinence has been shown repeatedly to be worse (ie harms and kills people at higher rates) than not intervening in people’s substance use at all. And it doesn’t even reduce drug use.
- Reposted by Lourah Kelly🚨HOT TAKE ALERT🚨 If you have built your scientific career off federal funding, you can organize a teach in at your favorite park or brewery to tell the public how you spend their tax dollars. AND why we should INCREASE federal research and development $$$. It’s not rocket science…or maybe it is?

- Reposted by Lourah KellyOne of the cruelest things about the NSF/NIH situations is that federal funders have been asking for acknowledgment about disparate impacts, inequality, etc. for years. To get a grant at all you had to (rightly) address those things. Now is the punishment for both caring and following the rules.

- Reposted by Lourah KellyWhat’s happening in the courts of this country is deeply dangerous. Samuel Alito believes his ideology IS the law, and when district judges rule against his political views, the Supreme Court must exert power to impose Alito’s views. The Court is a threat to science and NIH and must be reformed.
