Though it's honestly heartbreaking to be back at this point again where science is under constant attack, I do love seeing that all the slogans from our signs at the March of Science in 2017 are now a regular feature of lab walls, and that advocacy is far more common in every day scientific spaces.

Uncertainty looms over nearly every experiment and conversation. Slogans, not scientific sketches, are scrawled on the frosted glass wall of one office: “We want scientific data, not alternative facts!” “Girls just wanna have (NIH) funding” “Science Not Silence!” More than a dozen NIH grants, out of several hundred, have been terminated, though they are tangled up in lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s actions.

In case anyone needs some inspiration for the fight for science in 2025, I co-published a book on the signs, slogans, and stories behind the March for Science in 2017: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262038102/science-not-silence/

@luckytran@med-mastodon.com The Christian right wants the US to revert to Middle Ages superstition and Feudlaism economy. There is nothing good to come of it.
