@markmccaughrean Well, this prize showed a collection of all these #TESCREAL fascist bros ("Brin and Zuckerberg as well as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman"). In this case, is it kowtowing or is it already collaboration?
Does anybody know how the scientific world itself categorises this prize? What significance does it have for serious scientists beyond that Hollywoodesque fuss? @academicchatter
“Scientists forced to perform humiliating new job amid Trump cuts.”
I wish that this article was from the Onion, but it’s actually news from the Daily Mail, that’s unfortunately the awful truth about the possible fate of scientists who were fired by the Trump admin by way of Musk’s DOGE.
It’s Trump who should be made to perform humiliating jobs in prison, for the rest of his life.

Do you remember the 2019 study about how we can feed the world’s growing population without causing catastrophic climate breakdown?
"But the backlash was ferocious, with researchers receiving personal threats and insults." Twitter at the front of hate, then came articles. A leaked document shows that actions against the #scientists were a targeted PR-campaign for the #meat lobby: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/11/pr-campaign-may-fuelled-food-study-backlash-leaked-document-eat-lancet

The massive changes in US research brought about by the new administration of #Trump are causing many scientists in the country to rethink their lives and careers. More than 1,200 #scientists who responded to a Nature poll — three-quarters of the total respondents — are considering leaving the United States following the disruptions prompted by Trump. #Europe and #Canada were among the top choices for relocation. #research #healthcare #medicine #vaccines #publichealth https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00938-y

You're a scientist? How do you present yourself on #SocialMedia?
New #SciComm research shows: Participants rated #scientists who shared their failures as more benevolent and open, and as having more integrity, than those who only shared their successes.
#Ivermectin was found to help #COVID patients...
patients with parasites
#Ignorance spread "the cure" without the whole picture
Likewise, #VitaminA was found to help #Measles patients...

@Blueteamsherpa When I see that millions spontaneously took to the streets in Germany (84,000,000 inhabitants) because a candidate for chancellor had accepted the votes of the ultra-right for a decision, I've actually been waiting far too long for the crowds in the USA.
This is a part of his #eugenics ideology, and it's you, the non-superrich people of the US, he wants to kill!

"Where are the university presidents, the CEOs of pharmaceutical and technology companies, the former leaders in science and health policy, the Nobel Prize winners, and other tenured scientists whose careers were built on publicly funded research? All of them know that this is madness."

Through the Fog, by Elliot Kirschner · Destroying American Science
An incredible person has started a movement to tell the stories of #US #scientists and #science experts who have been dismissed because of the #trump #madness over there at the moment
If you know scientists who have lost funding or jobs because of *certain decisions*, you should contact them! They are also looking for #volunteers 
www.linkedin.comSilenced Science Stories - Illustrated Features | Silenced Science StoriesWe are organizing an illustrated series of portraits and stories of dismissed federal scientists and other scientific experts whose work is being affected by federal budget cuts and mass firings. We are working with amazing science illustrators to create these features to communicate the careers and the important scientific research of federally employed and funded scientists.
How to get involved:
- If you are an illustrator / artist willing to volunteer, reach out or sign up on this sheet: https://lnkd.in/gXK4mfeC. Or email paigebjarreau@gmail.com
- If you are a scientist or any other type of science expert recently terminated or affected by the current administration's actions, and are willing to be featured, reach out or fill out this form! https://lnkd.in/gbq7cmG6
- If you are willing to sponsor a science artist to do this, reach out! If you want to help fund an artist on this project, everything given to Paige Jarreau's “buy me a coffee” page will go to this! https://lnkd.in/gm-9KQtR
We will be posting these stories via the @ScientistSelfies Instagram account, this LinkedIn page, and our Facebook page.
