Neuroscience lab in Canada 🇨🇦 🐀🧪 PI Catharine Winstanley. Views expressed are her own. She is not a robot. She also apparently likes talking about herself in the third person, dear god (who doesn't exist- sorry) this is how it ends.

this is why local news in so many of its forms is so important. people in media who serve a community, not a national audience, who can build up decades of credibility. it's not just that he's speaking up but that there's a possibility people might listen. this is what's lost when you gut local news

(10/11) 75 years of scientific discovery—now on the chopping block. Trump’s 2025 budget proposes a 56% cut to the NSF. Over 1,000 grants terminated. 37 divisions abolished. Funding frozen. This isn’t just reckless—it’s a war on knowledge, a war on progress.
A bold graphic with the headline ‘75 Years of Incredible Discovery. Now Under Attack.’ displays four visuals representing threats to the National Science Foundation (NSF). A pie chart shows a proposed 56% budget cut, a ‘CANCELLED’ stamp is over a document to represent over 1,000 grants terminated, chained lab equipment symbolizes freezes on new and existing funding, and a person packing a box reflects the abolishment of 37 internal divisions.

Instead on pandering to Reform, Labour need to look to Canada & Australia, while making it very obvious to the public that Farage stands for the same policies as Trump, because if the majority of people saw that, like the people of Canada & Australia did, they may be more motivated to stop Reform UK

If you're wondering why there's been so much insistence lately that COVID-19 was a lab leak, here's why: it is going to be an example for why all biomedical research & public health work should be defunded. No evidence supports a lab leak, but it's used to justify cutting NIH's budget by 40%.
