Today the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies celebrates its 85th birthday - founded in 1940 during, and in part because of, WW2 it reminds us that the pursuit of knowledge, science and scholarship is important and worthy of support even in the darkest of times. A message that sadly needs repetition today.
#standupforscience
I can safely say Amanda speaks for most of us involved in research. The recent EOs are crippling U.S. research communities - we must act now!

As a classicist, I think there's a lot we can learn from ancient cultures. But miasma theory has been debunked by science. So why are some politicians, like US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, still wedded to it?
So many people coming forward to speak up for #Science
Scientists, grant administrators, long retired professors from Pitt Med school, undergraduates and grad students from #Pitt and #CarnegieMellon
Non scientists too
They kept coming up! So awesome. One undergrad (here for summer research) mentioned how hopeful this gathering and speakers made her.
(Won't post their pics/faces here - but it was super encouraging)
No drizzle - nice sunshine this evening at the #MellonInstitute steps here in #Pittsburgh for the #StandUpForScience Vigil
We have a poster board with names of cancelled grants at #CarnegieMellon and #Pitt and paper for people to write down why they do, or how they've been affected by cuts to #Science or why it's important to them
Lots of sidewalk chalk messages from people too.
Continuous trickle of people coming up to speak for few minutes.

Crowd estimate is 10K for the downtown #Pittsburgh #NoKings Protest (see 👆🏽). Nice!
There are still two others later today - near Mellon Park and one in the South Hills, Mt Lebo area.
There's also the Vigil at my work building this evening. Off to that in a bit

Employees of the NIH have signed on to the Bethesda Declaration, in protest of the authoritarian cuts to science funding. You can sign on in support of them here (including anonymously): https://www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-declaration

Dr. Lucky Tran ( @luckytran )
posted a moving video where Jenna Norton (NIDDK Program Officer and one of the NIH signers of the Bethesda Declaration) explains more about why she signed.
Worth watching!
I made an attempt at writing up a transcript, I will try to post it as replies to this thread later.

On National Cancer Survivors Day, I salute every person touched by cancer. Thank You to scientists who undertake the research necessary to deliver effective treatments! Where would we be without science & research? #StandUpForScience daily — as though your future depends on it. Because it does.
Now that what we swore we'd never hear has been said, the world becomes much more understandable. Listen to this song, do you understand it?
Saeta al Cristo.
