Public engagement isn’t just for extroverts or science communicators.
It’s for all of us. We want to know what would make it feel more possible to help shape future tools and support for scientists like you.

If you’re a basic scientist, we’d love to hear your perspective in this short survey open until 8 June:

Here comes the #Highlight of the day! Did you know that you can slice a bagel such that you get two intertwined Möbius strips? Happy breakfast tomorrow and be careful putting creme cheese on the strips. 🤣

La Agencia de Protección del Medio Ambiente estadounidense se dispone a declarar que los gases de efecto invernadero no son perjudiciales para el clima.

El negacionismo o negocionismo nos pone a toda la humanidad en peligro, es momento de actuar.

Dear tech friends following the current attacks on science - are there movements to back up vital servers in other countries? Many invaluable data are also at risk. Please DM me where I can help!! #scienceForAll #scienceAgainstFascism

So do stand in solidarity, but, above all, be wary of what might be happening in your country and call it out before they get away with it!

3/3

Science is under attack in the US and I want to stand up for it! Today 3/7 big rallies are being held in the US to protest against the obscurantist policies by d. trump. Why is that?
1) Many scientists have either had their grants terminated or can’t access approved funding while national science agencies comply with Trump’s recent executive orders. These ban funding for diversity, “gender ideology”; & green energy projects. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/government/science-research-policy/2025/02/03/how-trumps-executive-orders-are-disrupting

2) trump’s order rolling back protections for transgender people.
The Office of Personnel Management directed agency heads to strip “gender ideology” from websites, contracts & emails. https://apnews.com/article/trump-gender-ideology-sex-pronouns-order-transgender-2d7e54837f5d0651ed0cefa5ea0d6301

3) Several federal government datasets were taken down including some large-scale national health surveys, indices, and data dashboards that inform research, policy making, and media coverage about health care and public health. https://www.kff.org/policy-watch/a-look-at-federal-health-data-taken-offline/

4) trump also ordered to cut funds to universities for research on topics such as Alzheimer, cancer, diabetes. The National Institute for Health stopped reviewing thousands of new grant applications. People will die b/c of this. https://www.nea.org/nea-today/all-news-articles/scientific-research-getting-cut-and-should-scare-all-americans

5) Tens of thousands of employees of science agencies were fired without reason and at short notice by the DOGE dept. led by Elon Musk. This is hard to believe and I want to believe that courts will reverse these orders. https://www.science.org/content/article/usda-ordered-reinstate-nearly-6000-fired-workers

Me holding a sign "Stand up for Science" in my bedroom

Dr. Phil Plait and Dr. Francis Collins spoke at the #standupforscience2025 rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. This is me arriving before the rally started wearing my American Society for Microbiology hoodie and TWiM t-shirt. There were many other enthusiastic speakers and supporters. #scienceforall

Stand up for Science 2025 rally in front of the Boston State House this afternoon! Several thousand in attendance. Good speakers, great signage.

#StandUpForScience #StandUpForScience2025 #ScienceNotSilence #ScienceForAll #Boston #GreaterBoston #Massachusetts #Rally #Protests #Resist

A crowd of several thousand people standing on a sloped lawn of the Boston Common, facing away from the camera toward the rally stage. Many in the crowd are holding up homemade signs which have clever science-related puns on them, or other science-themed messages. One says: "Without SCIENCE it is just a GUESS!!". Another says: "SCIENCE IS NOT A POLITICAL GAME It is the foundation of OUR FUTURE". In the background is the Massachusetts State House with its iconic gold dome. Above is a blue sky with a few fluffy clouds racing by on this windy day.

60-year-old white lady (me) bundled up against the cold and wind in a snowboard jacket, fleece scarf and knitted hat. I'm smiling broadly and holding a homemade sign that says: "Healthy food, sturdy homes, safe cars, good medicine, cool movies, your phone ---> ALL BROUGHT TO YOU BY SCIENCE"

Someone in the crowd holding up a handwritten cardboard sign that says "GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUNDING FOR THEIR RESEARCH"

A few more of the signs being held up by rally-goers. One on the left says "Nobody voted for project 2025. Impeach now". One in the foreground says "I <3 SCIENCE". One on the right features a hand-drawn mandala shaped like the earth with plants growing out of it and says "I <3 SCIENCE" and "SCIENCE FOR THE FUTURE"

We’re Standing Up for Science because science is for everyone! Join the team of students who organized for this event. Get loud and tell everyone why you’re Standing Up for Science!
