Kijk! Doen hoor. Heel informatief en grappig. Vooral de Kamerleden die keihard blijven liegen dat onze enorme veestapel voedselzekerheid brengt. Die video van Henk Vermeer!😂 Krant lezen of naar deskundige luisteren is te moeilijk voor hen. Dus laat ze deze video zien als ze weer beginnen.

Ironically, as @mart1oeil.eu showed, there are telltale signs that the piece was edited with ChatGPT: many links include "?utm_source=chatgpt.com" If even Science editorial team cannot afford good human editing, that's worrying

Last week Joshua Weitz @joshuasweitz.bsky.social gave an excellent talk at Princeton as prelude to a panel on the future of science. Highly recommend, watch and share! Screenshot of the central message. Video 🔗 bit.ly/4dAapx9

Yesterday, the NIH R35 “Outstanding Investigator” grant to fund scientists in my lab studying antibiotic resistance was terminated for reasons not related to the content of the science, or any actions taken by me or members of my lab

A screenshot of the termination notice showing "Outstanding Investigator Grants"

A screenshot of the termination notice with "This award is terminated effective the date of this award, due to unsafe antisemitic actions that suggest the institution lacks concern for the safety and wellbeing of Jewish students." highlighted

I am appalled by the ASM's decision to remove DEI content from their website. Here is my email to the American Society for Microbiology, @ASM.org asking them to put everything back as it was. If you are an ASM member, please consider writing them.

Subject: Appalled by the decision to remove DEI content on the ASM website

Dear ASM Leadership,

For over 20 years, I have been a proud member of the ASM, a professional society that not only publishes outstanding microbiology research but also supports diversity, equity, and inclusion within our field.

I am deeply disappointed and angered by ASM’s recent decision to remove online content that highlighted and celebrated non-white, female, and LGBTQ+ scientists. Rather than unquestioningly complying with vague governmental directives to halt and delete inclusion efforts, ASM should have taken a principled stand and kept this content accessible.

Since ASM is not a federal agency and derives most of its funding from publishing and membership fees, this decision to remove content that so many of us support is both disheartening and perplexing.

I have read ASM’s statement following the recent STAT article, which claims that no content was deleted but is instead "under review." I must ask: under review for what purpose? Will the language be altered? Will key aspects be removed?

I urge ASM to demonstrate integrity and restore the content in its original form.

As BlueSky user Len Kurland worded it nicely, this is the perfect time for Microbial Resistance.

Kind regards,

Elisabeth Bik
