This week's #SAComicsSunday is a science themed educational comic: SuperScientists Dig In! by Justin Yarrow (story) and Clyde Beech (co-writing and art). It's part of the broader SuperScientists initiative, which aims to get young people excited about real-life African scientists. 1/9 #SAComics

The cover of the comic features a high school girl named Thandi who is holding a crystal. Bars of light are beaming out from the crystal to highlight five African scientist superheroes - Rocktor (Silindokuhle Mavuso), Morpho (Kimberleigh Tommy), Bones (Keneiloe Molopyane), GeoTime (Tebogo Makhubela), and Plant Detective (Aviwe Matiwane).

NIH spending more than pays for itself. It generates about $2.5 for every $1 spent. In terms of research productivity, NIH funding dwarfs the rest of the world. The only long-term potential rival is China. Politicizing the NIH's scientific processes will hand China a huge strategic advantage.

I was talking to a post-doc who works with me about this. She said "I did my PhD during a pandemic, now I am starting a post-doc and science is being defunded, maybe it's a sign I need to do something else with my life" She is a brilliant scientist, science needs her! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Postdocs and PhD students hit hard by Trump’s crackdown on science

As US federal grants remain frozen and budget cuts loom, anxiety and fear grip early-career researchers.

Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE. To others, uplift the Women scientists you know, cite them, promote them, sponsor them, invite them - be an upstander.
