A federal judge just ordered all of the Epstein files to be turned over to him and DOJ must defend each redaction. This is solely because of Katie Phang’s lawsuit. Yay independent journalism! 👏

We need to talk more about age limits in government service, from Congress to the Supreme Court. These are people with generous pensions. At some point, they need to know when it’s time to go. Too many refuse. Maybe it’s time to make it law.

Who lies about election results? Who refuses to accept an election loss? Who purposely sows distrust in our elections process? A coward does. A sore loser does. A sociopath does. And a traitor to this country does. That’s who.

When I head to Washington, I will be the first woman in Congress with a science PhD. That matters. At a time when science is under attack, Congress needs more leaders who understand the value of evidence-based decision-making.

Story time CDC scientists write paper, showing strong effects of Covid vaccine. Director rejected it b/c he didn’t like the conclusion. Scientists publish in elite journal. Moral of the story: Strong science will persist. We ain’t gonna let this censorship shit fly. 🧪 archive.today/cyxa6

CDC’s chief blocked a covid vaccine study. Now it’s in a top medical journal.
The study found that the vaccine reduced the risk of emergency department visits and hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half last winter.

“Reevaluating every research grant w/ a political lens each time a new party is in power could end America’s scientific progress and leadership.” China now leads R&D investment. The EU courts US scientists w/ promises of stability that is lacking here. The threat is real. 🧪 archive.today/5T64n

I’ve spent 40 years in research. I have never seen a threat to science like the new grantmaking rule
“American science is too valuable to be turned into a political football,” writes David J. Skorton, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges.

“Erratic funding would fundamentally undermine innovation and dramatically impair America’s ability to address today’s health challenges. The OMB proposal is currently open for public comment, and we urge our readers to express their concerns. When science becomes politicized, everyone loses.”

It’s so much worse than we could have imagined. It’s a significantly worse defeat than Vietnam, and may stand as the worst military defeat in U.S. history. And the president can’t stop lying about it.

Florence is rightly famous for its art galleries, but I was also impressed by the city’s science museums. 🔭🧪⚛️ This enormous armillary sphere is in the Museo Galileo; it shows the Ptolemaic model of the Solar System. Built by Antonio Santucci in 1593, for Ferdinand I de' Medici. #astrohistory
