ACS support for science - American Chemical Society The ACS is committed to working to advance scientific knowledge, empower a global community and champion scientific integrity.

As an industry member, it is extraordinarily frustrating to me that:

1. ACS puts out such a milquetoast statement while its academic members are suffering seemingly existential-level catastrophe immediately under the second Trump Adminstration: www.acs.org/pressroom/ne...

The Republican House Budget Resolution's Potential $880 Billion in Medicaid Cuts by Congressional District The Republican House budget resolution would cost congressional districts an average of $2 billion each and could eliminate coverage for 15.9 million people.

Here is a good tool to determine how much the Republican spending bill would affect Medicaid funding in your congressional district, and an estimate of how many enrollees would be affected. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Scientists at the University of Miami are carrying out a research study on how scientists use online platforms like Twitter/X and Bluesky. If you are 18 years of age or older and are a scientist who uses these platforms for professional purposes, please click the link below to complete a short survey. If you are interested in learning more about this research study, please e-mail us at Julia.wester @ miami.edu. In the body of your email please provide your full name, and if you would prefer to be contacted by phone, your phone number and the best time to reach you. Contacting us for more information does not commit you to participating, and should you decide to participate you may terminate your participation at any time.

If you are a scientist (including graduate students) or professional science communicator who is at least 18 years old and are using Bluesky for any kind of professional purposes, please consider taking our survey.

The challenge of being neurodivergent in STEM Neurodivergent scientists say STEM isn’t built for them, despite the contributions they bring

STEM's lack of support for #neurodivergent scientsts is causing it to lose out on so much amazing talent: cen.acs.org/careers/dive...

@cenmag.bsky.social #ChemSky #DisabledInSTEM #Neurodiversity🧪

Big, big congratulations!! 🎉 🎉 🎉

Rural areas can provide a rich context for #STEM learning, but these communities and the students in them are often overlooked.

Our new report makes recommendations to advance #STEMeducation and workforce development for #rural America.

Hi #ChemSky! @cenmag.bsky.social and I want to learn how the chemistry community might be affected by any immigration policies currently being proposed for 2025.

If you might be impacted and can give any insight, I'd really appreciate if you could fill out this form: forms.office.com/r/87NQhFKrFh

Younger Chemists Committee celebrates 50 years The committee helps younger chemists navigate an ever-evolving workforce and advocates for their interests within the American Chemical Society

This year was the ACS YCC's 50th anniversary. So in true 50th anniversary fashion, I decided to take a look at what has changed (and stayed the same) in the last 50 years for young chemists and engineers. @cenmag.bsky.social

Video game history in action! 2024 was a big year for moving the conversation forward, preserving important artifacts, and building tools that make access easier for everyone. As our annual Winter Fundraiser heats up, let's look back at the year that was: gamehistory.org/our-2024-in-...

Alright, I'm going to get into good trouble for this! For each like and repost I get on this I'll donate $1 dollar to the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social. I'll keep counting until Monday. @frankcifaldi.bsky.social & @philsalv.bsky.social wish me luck! Hopefully the org gets some decent money from this.

haha it was so fun! I love seeing Lacey Chabert movies (which feels synonymous to Christmas movies anyway). I had a lot of fun with One Little Secret too!

I've had success with some Talbot and City Chic pieces I found on ThredUp that I've paired with Snag tights and some boots

tbh I've been out of practice with personal socials with the focus on graduating and transitioning for work, so let's see what this fresh start turns into 🌟
