HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈 Under Trump, research using terms like “Trans,” “LGBTQ,” & “Gender identity” is being defunded. These terms reflect real people who deserve science that includes them. Stand with us to protect LGBTQ+ science from political erasure. grant-watch.us/nih-data.html @rcmedphys.bsky.social

A word cloud made from flagged terms in terminated NIH grant proposals. The most prominent words in large font include “trans,” “diverse,” “diversity,” “minority,” “sex,” “expression,” “mental health,” “gender,” and “women.” Other visible terms include “LGBTQ,” “racial,” “underrepresented,” “disability,” “barriers,” “black,” “equity,” “health equity,” “vaccine,” “bias,” and “intersectionality.” The word cloud highlights terms related to identity, inclusion, and marginalized communities.

Jay is the lead author on a fascinating paper I was involved in, about how male mimicry by female hummingbirds provides the first example of a type of signaling system that we predicted from theoretical principles over a decade ago. This is infuriating. And I believe it's due to anti-trans bias.

Hey you! If you're heading out to a @standupforscience.bsky.social rally today and want to keep the energy going after the event's over, here's something you can do: Print out some of these flyers with our policy goals and share them wherever you can! Here's a PDF: drive.google.com/file/d/1V_Gh...

An image of the attached policy flyer. It has a blue ombre background with the words "Stand Up for Science 2025" in a red speech bubble at the top.

The main text includes our three policy goals along with an extra blurb for each one:

1. End government censorship of scientific information. Scientists work for taxpayers. You deserve better.

2. Restore federal funding for scientific research. Lifesaving clinical trials are at stake.

3. Defend inclusion and accessibility in science. Discrimination has no place here.
