(I missed the first talk or two because I had to pick up some posterboard and quickly slap together a sign!)

An unfinished sign on a table, surrounded by paintbrushes and paint. The sign says "Defunding science: bad for Pittsburgh, bad for PA, bad for the USA [& bad for the whole world!]"

Memorable talks included @jeremymberg.bsky.social explaining the assault on NIH funding (while sneaking in a bit of bioinorganic chemistry!) & @repsummerlee.bsky.social giving a barn-burner of a speech in support of science research in Pittsburgh and in the US.

Today's #standupforscience rally in Pittsburgh - it was great seeing so many people turn out. #standupforscience2025

Can finally confirm: #ABRCMS in person definitely beats the online early-pandemic versions. I didn't have to travel and I'm still wiped out by so many hours of posters... but there was so much exciting science and so many talented undergrad and postbac researchers! Highly recommended. #ABRCMS2024
