Great thread--if you want there still to be science happening in the US, NOW is the time to act and Stand Up for Science has a step by step playbook 🧪

Alright, let’s all get on the same page about Vought/NIH/Trump. THEY👏WILL👏STOP👏AT👏NOTHING👏 The goal is to destroy the STEM ecosystem, universities, and democracy as we have known it. PERIOD. The only way to win is to impeach them all…which means we need Congress. HERE’S HOW WE WIN 🧵

Some wins lately - Y3 funding for a grant renewed. In addition, I received a New Investigator Researcher Grant from @leukemiaresearch.bsky.social. I am truly honored and grateful. Thanks for the opportunity to contribute to the leukemia research community.

A massive update: At least ~15 companies~ are selling scientists antibodies using faked validation data. We've documented 18,000+ manipulated images on 17,000+ products sold by leading laboratory suppliers including Thermo Fisher, Abcam, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Millipore Sigma and Bio-Techne. 1/🧵

Scoop: For nearly a year, NSF has struggled to make new grants. Now we know that it will not catch up. In fact, NSF will award just 6,100 new grants—a 30% y/o/y decline, itself down from a previous avg. of 11,000+. In fact, the last time NSF awarded so few grants was in the early '80s.

Exclusive: NSF set to issue lowest number of new grants in four decades

The US science-funding agency is withholding $1 billion of its budget so that the money can go to a special White House project.

In May it was big news when 100+ suspicious images were found in Thermo Fisher's catalog. Now, that number has expanded dramatically to 18,000+, thanks to some arduous searching by @reeserichardson.bsky.social. My reporting on the massive trove and its implications for antibody reliability:

More than 18,000 questionable images found in antibody catalogues of 15 companies

Science sleuth’s findings raise questions for researchers working to improve the reliability of commercial antibodies.

For reference, the DoD cut $15M in pancreatic cancer research funding last year.
