Democracy Matters :verified:More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada. Republicans are decimating America for a hundred years.75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00938-y" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00938-y</a><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SaveScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveScience</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PresidentBystander" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PresidentBystander</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Signalgate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signalgate</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WhiskeyLeaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiskeyLeaks</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EndTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EndTrump</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EndMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EndMusk</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AgentKrasnov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AgentKrasnov</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RepublicansOwnThis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepublicansOwnThis</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOGE</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GOPKakistocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GOPKakistocracy</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/NoRepublicansEverAgain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoRepublicansEverAgain</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a>

Megaphone :verified:<a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/ScienceUnderSiege?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScienceUnderSiege</a>: The Orlando Research Conference Fallout Something alarming is happening in the <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/ScientificCommunity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScientificCommunity</a>, and it’s not getting the attention it deserves. A recent <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/NIH?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NIH</a>-backed <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/neuroscience?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroscience</a> conference in <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Orlando?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Orlando</a> turned into a disaster. Research sessions were canceled after being mistaken for “<a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/DEI?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DEI</a>” initiatives, and funding was pulled. One session on the diversity of afferent firing in the cochlea (how nerve cells transmit sound) was targeted because people saw the word “<a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/diversity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diversity</a>” and assumed it was political. <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/MAGA?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MAGA</a> hat-wearing attendees reportedly vandalized posters. The nescient reaction of the MAGA hat-wearing attendees to the word “diversity”—mistaking a scientific discussion on neural firing patterns in the cochlea for a political agenda—exemplifies a dangerous blend of <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/ignorance?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ignorance</a> and ideological rigidity. Their inability to differentiate between linguistic context and <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/partisan?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#partisan</a> buzzwords not only disrupted legitimate research but also underscored the broader issue of anti-intellectualism undermining scientific progress. Worse, researchers discovered their already earned funding was revoked, postdoc opportunities disappeared, and the conference felt like a <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/funeral?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#funeral</a> for the field as careers crumbled in real time. Meanwhile, the NIH was banned from attending due to a new administration-imposed blackout on communications and travel, delaying critical <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/research?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a> on <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Cancer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cancer</a>, <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/HeartDisease?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HeartDisease</a>, and <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Diabetes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diabetes</a>. <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> depends on open inquiry—but now, <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/political?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#political</a> interference is gutting <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/research?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a>. This isn’t just about one conference. It’s a direct attack on scientific progress. If we don’t stand up now, what’s next? 🔬 Science must remain free from political control. <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/ScienceUnderAttack?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScienceUnderAttack</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/ResearchMatters?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResearchMatters</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/SaveScience?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveScience</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/FreedomOfInquiry?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreedomOfInquiry</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/ScienceNotPolitics?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScienceNotPolitics</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/AcademicFreedom?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcademicFreedom</a>
