A 🧵 on the dangers of censorship, specifically relating to science. To quote the mighty @welovepulp.bsky.social: “We won’t use guns, we won’t use bombs; we’ll use the one thing we’ve got more of - that’s our minds.” #StandUpForScience #SciComm

In case you’re wondering where we are in the Wicked timeline right now, it’s the scene where Dr. Dillamond is arrested for teaching. You’re welcome.
Screenshots from the 2024 movie Wicked depicting the arrest of Dr Dillamond the goat professor. The arresting officers have hats saying Doge, ICE, and HHS. Elphaba questions why no one is doing anything to stop it.

The only thing keeping me sane today is foreign (British, European) news which is variously bemused, alarmed, confused, amused, disgusted, and unimpressed by our new president and his promises/acts.

It has been an insane week at work, so this weekend I intend to Be More Ziggy. Like a chubby, horizontal, ginger furred penguin, Ziggy prioritizes rest and relaxation. Be more Ziggy. #CatsOfBluesky

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK by saying "we have to meet him halfway." NOPE. RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

My most liked X post, reposting here: 1 in 10 of the top 100 ‘best’ scientists are named Michael or Eric, but only 3% are female according to Research.com. Putting aside the obvious flaws of the H-index, these numbers are disheartening: research.com/scientists-r... #SciComm #WomenInSTEM
Infographic showing how many scientists out of one hundred are female (three) or called Michael or Eric (ten).
