They’re invested in the journey to discover truths, find cures for diseases, create knowledge, advance science. If not stopped, these actions will destroy labs and institutions. The loss will be irreparable, impact society at each level. Heartbreaking stories from those affected.

Photos from the rally last week to support science, protest firings at NIH, NSF & budget cuts for research. Careers of people who worked hard for science & public service have been lost. There were many young people, including students from my lab, who’re anxious about the future

Join the protest in support of science & academia today (Feb 19, 12 pm) in DC! Join thousands of scientists as we raise our voice against federal firings, funding freezes and impending budget cuts which will be devastating for scientific research & discovery, and shut down labs.

Good to visit congressional offices this week as a member of APS @APSphysics (as chair-elect of @ApsDbio), to advocate for science funding, enhancing STEM workforce and other APS policy priorities: cvd.aps.org. #APSCVD2025 Hope it has impact in these disturbing times.

Women’s March 2024 … A lot of energy and passion among the thousands that marched last weekend. Hope this translates into action today given that so much is at stake! Vote! #voteblue #kamalaharris #harriswalz2024 #womensmarch

Wonderful time at the @APSphysics March Meeting last week in Minneapolis! Great sessions at the conference (helped organize the program as vice chair of @ApsDbio, look forward to chairing the program committee next year)! Amazing to meet many scientific friends and colleagues.

Great to visit the Hill and meet congressional staff to advocate for #science #policy reform and #STEM with a team representing @APSphysics. Read about #APSCVD2024 at: cvd.aps.org. Discussions included the FY24 R&D budget and policies to retain STEM talent.

Happy New Year folks! Wishing you a bright and wonderful 2023 full of new adventures and discoveries! #HappyNewYear #HappyNewYear2023 #Norway #LofotenIslands #summer2022

Great to be in Montpellier for the Physics of Living Systems student research network conference. @physics_living #ipols #POLS2022 … The conference is wrapping up after a week of fantastic talks and posters! Thanks @EmmanuelMargeat for organizing a great meeting!

Some photos from the rally for #Ukraine at the Lincoln Memorial here in #WashingtonDC today. It was poignant and inspiring. #rallyforukraine @PoPville
