- Reposted by Eliza Bliss-MoreauI just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.
- Look forward to reading this book. As my family, friend, lab folks, and colleagues know - I have to talk to think and sometimes that is very annoying 😭
- Reposted by Eliza Bliss-MoreauSo let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
- Reposted by Eliza Bliss-Moreau🧪 Ranking member Lofgren and 11 other House dems sent a fiery 7-page letter to acting NSF director today "The cancelation of these awards suggests instead that NSF is willing to apply political censorship of awards under direction from President Trump and the DOGE teenagers" Share widely #SaveNSF
- Spring in the NorCal Central Valley smells like jasmine, orange blossoms, roses, and rosemary and it is the best. 😍
- The NIH move to restrict animal research is a bad one and not just about health - it's about national security. More here: medium.com/@eblissmorea...
- This whole thread is gold!
- I know SO many people who haven't just survived but are currently thriving, post diagnosis that would have killed them when I was a kid. This tool is awesome because it pulls the concrete numbers from the NIH website in a clearly accessible form.
- Ever wonder how many lives have been saved by NIH-funded research - including your own? Enter any medical condition and instantly see how your tax dollars transformed science into survival. www.ourhealthroi.com
- Apparently the new NIH director presented this at the Council of Councils yesterday and whoaboy... dpcpsi.nih.gov/sites/defaul...
- Very glad to see Chancellor May from @ucdavis.bsky.social signed this. Hey, @bostoncollege.bsky.social - 🦅🦅 here wondering where Fr. Leahy's signature is? www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...
- The cruelty is the point.
- Same girl, same. lololol
- Huh... 8 years (2012-2020) of NIH funding is pretty different from 20 years. reporter.nih.gov/search/netzE...
- Not bad for a little farm school 😄 lettersandsciencemag.ucdavis.edu/news-notewor...
- Looking at you (us?) @ucnewsroom.bsky.social…
- Elephants, or eledents as we call them in our house, are totally amazing.
- I don’t think people can imagine how awful this is. Meds won’t be safe. Vaccinations won’t be safe. Medical devices won’t be safe. There are a handful of contexts in which FDA testing does not require animals bc it can use cells or “organs on chips”. But AI is not a solution.
- FDA plans to phase out animal testing requirement for drug testing and replace it with “AI-based computational models of toxicity” and organoid toxicity testing www.fda.gov/news-events/...

- Reposted by Eliza Bliss-MoreauMMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.
- Reposted by Eliza Bliss-MoreauA concrete ask for every department head: commit to checking SEVIS portal every day. Student visa revocation emails go to address they applied with - potentially consultants/brokers. Correct & current info is a specific, urgent need. If you don't have access, find out who does & make same ask.
- 👇 or, it's actually a good question but i've not considered it before and i'm trying to buy myself a touch of thinking time
- This is super interesting. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/04/04/g...
- @ucdavis.bsky.social senior admin, I sincerely hope y’all a robust response to this planned.

- Bari Weiss needs a mute button.
- Looking forward to watching this.
- History speaks. Europe’s lessons from a century ago can wake up and inspire our democracy…in 2025 America. Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.
- So good!
