In a well-stocked store shelf, a person wearing a green shirt and a blue face mask is selecting items. The individual is holding a blue container and appears to be in the process of making a choice. The store is filled with various bottles and jars, each with different shapes, sizes, and colors, creating a vibrant display of choices.A gray monkey is seated on a wooden post, holding a green leaf in its hand. The monkey's head is slightly tilted downwards as it gazes directly at the camera. The monkey appears to be relaxed and at ease in its environment. The background is blurred, giving the impression of an outdoor setting, but it is unclear what the specific location might be.In the image, a sloth is hanging from a branch, its claws gripping the wood tightly. The sloth, with its fur blending into the foliage, is the main focus of the scene. The branch on which it hangs is adorned with a large piece of lettuce, adding a vibrant green color to the scene. The sloth is looking straight ahead, seemingly focused on something off-camera.

An example of what cutting off research funding to universities accomplished โ€” many will die as a result. It's not hypothetical; they have names: "This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled."

โ€œThis is a democracy versus autocracy issue," said @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social - and she's absolutely right. This govt shutdown isn't just politics; it endangers #Science, #Research, and #PublicHealth. We need more Jennas - and to back them! #ScienceMatters #StandUpForScience #NIH #CDC #NSF #USPol

Why some federal workers aren'...

Nicely laid out by @ianlmorgan.bsky.social: NIH leadership is failing early-career researchers - overburdened, overlooked, and underfunded. If we want innovations, we must invest in the people driving them. #NIH #USPol #ScienceMatters #ResearchSky #AcademicSky #Accountability

As demand for #nickel grows, #plants could help suck out vital raw materials from soil. Could this replace conventional #mining thatโ€™s harmful to the #environment?

Shouldn't be a surprise โ€” include rookie scientists in research. They're less wedded to convention and more "disruptive."

When I hear someone say "Trust the Science," I feel compelled to remind them to trust the scientists behind it, the individuals funding the research, and the government that endorses and approves the findings.
It's essential to hold all these parties accountable.

Insane. Trumpโ€™s crew is pushing Tylenol = autism โ€” a baseless, fear-mongering conspiracy. Reckless, anti-science nonsense designed to scare pregnant people. This isnโ€™t leadership; itโ€™s dangerous propaganda. #TrumpWatch #ScienceMatters #StopTheLies www.bbc.com/news/article...
