TRAY THE TALKING SCHOOL CAFETERIA TRAY: Remember when city council defunded universal free school lunches for Important Budget Reasons
-then everyone yelled at them and they had to reinstate it?
-Right around that same time they also found out that SPD overpaid their officers by $13 million
-[growing angrier] and we still don't know if they're even gonna pay it all back!
-That's enough money to feed every public school student for 3 years!
-Anyways, “food” for thought!

I was taken aback when I first saw Mayor Wilson’s budget proposal, but this Seattle Nice interview shed some much needed light on the choice she and her team made. I highly recommend it. Now I’m curious to see how SCC responds/counters!

Do you have a video of your speech from this event? I would love to share it around! It was incredibly moving and showcased your character through stories of your background.

Trumpism is anti-science. Here's frightening proof of what happens when his #DOGE hackers gut the #CDC as he installs a dangerously unqualified #RFKJr to run #HHS - kids die. www.cbsnews.com/news/milwauk...

51%… The number of graduate research fellowships (GRFP) awarded by the NSF fell 51% from 2036 last year to only 1000 this year. The federal funding cuts WILL have long-term effects on not only the development of the next gen of scientists, but also the research they put out. Science is under attack.

Hi! I’m a 3rd year PhD student at the University of Washington studying inorganic molecular clusters. I am also the chair of UW’s Science and Policy Committee. No papers yet (I’m working on it 😅), but I’m on my groups website: sites.uw.edu/velian/group... Excited to be here!

Because of the attacks on science in the US from recent executive orders, I'm working with other early-career scientists to host a local Stand Up For Science rally at Seattle Center on March 7th. Find more info and RSVP here: www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f... DM me to get involved!

A red and blue flyer with a drawn depiction of the statue of liberty on the left. Starting at the top next to the statue's torch is the word "Seattle". Underneath is a red banner with the bold words "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE 2025". Underneath the banner are details about the event: "March 7, 2025; Seattle Center; 12 PM - 3 PM." Halfway down, to the right of the Statue of Liberty's head is a smaller red banner with the bold words "SCIENCE IS FOR EVERYONE." Underneath the banner and leading to the bottom of the poster are the words "Find your local rally site and other ways to get involved: standupforscience2025.org"
