This is a place for transgender people in or considering STEM to connect and find representation. It’s a place to discuss science and find mentors. #TransInSTEM

Happy Pride month to our vibrant and wonderful community. Unfortunately they will be those that try to dull the way you shine. Don’t let them. We are here with you and we aren’t going anywhere. #LGBTQIAHappyPrideMonth #TransInSTEM #LGBTQIA

Think NIH freezes and cuts dont effect anything besides budgets? Students in classes can’t find labs to do dissertations in because now PIs dont have money to fund education and training. Schools arent taking students next fall. We risk losing a generation of scientists.

I worked in the LRN (funded by CDC grants) We were the ones who were prepared to do testing. Every state has one LRN lab. These are the people trained to respond to this kind of thing. Hopefully they still have jobs.
Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

Hopefully the NIH funding freeze doesn’t affect their work.
Huge cancer breakthrough! mRNA vaccine (similar to COVID vaccine tech) shows stunning results against pancreatic cancer! 75% of responsive patients STILL cancer-free at 3 yr, normally 80% recur. Could revolutionize treatment for one of deadliest cancers! Funded in part by @NIH

This is why freezing funds has been devastating. Grants enable labs to operate for years. Years of work is done prior to show why a grant should be awarded. If a lab loses a grant that has real world impact, technicians laid off, no students trained, and possibly losing your lab.
R01 resubmission was a waste. 3 years of work. 12 percentile on first submission and now it will not get reviewed. Trying to keep chin up and move forward is daunting. This storm is perfect to wipe out early stage investigators.

FEDERAL WORKERS FIRED BY ELON/TRUMP/DOGE: “We’re not deep state actors. We’re not federal bureaucrats. I’m a veteran who wants to help veterans. We join the civil service to help others and serve our country.”

Here’s what I want from society as a trans person: ✅ the right to exist freely without laws that interfere with that right ✅ gold standard gender affirming healthcare ✅ to be left the fuck alone

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

It can be exhausting physically and mentally. Equal rights would be real nice.

That’s 1.5 billion in medical research aimed at a plethora of diseases that many of our citizens have to suffer because there is no treatment or cure.
NIH has stopped considering new grant applications, delaying decisions about how to spend millions of dollars. The freeze occurred because the Trump administration has blocked the NIH… https://t.co/YX2AxyfdDE

Can a single Trump supporter tell me why cutting Alzheimer's research is good
Early this morning, I offered an amendment to increase funding and prevent any cuts to Alzheimer's research at the NIH. Republicans blocked it.
