Square poster. The main text reads: “Our first ABRIR workshop plan is here! With ORCA’s support, we’re piloting a new way to strengthen DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in open science — by reversing who gets to teach and who learns. To make open science truly global and equitable, we need to learn from the strengths of Majority World researchers.” Smaller text reads: “Developed with support from the Open Research Community Accelerator (ORCA) and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (Award Number: #20160-2025-10).” The poster also includes the ABRIR logo and a QR code leading to https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17244026
Who gets to teach about #OpenScience, and who learns? With our new workshop plan, we want to flip the script.
Grateful to co-lead the creation of the plan (V1 👀) with @nscorralfrias.bsky.social & our amazing @abrir.bsky.social team

@rileym-oneill.bsky.social perhaps worth looking into for upcoming things!
Mr. Trump "is a threat to bureaucracy, not democracy," said Paul Dans, the architect of Project 2025, the right-wing blueprint for Mr. Trump's presidency. "He has an extremely high regard for science."
Take it from scientists:
These are authoritarian lies.
Trump and Project 2025 are destroying American science.
They already have done great damage. American science has been forever changed and diminished.

August 22, 2025 Dear Director Bhattacharya: I write to you regarding your plans after the Supreme Court ruling yesterday. As you know, the Supreme Court did allow a stay on the required grant reinstatements based on a controversial jurisdictional issue but also found that the grant termination processes used were likely illegal. I know you are deeply concerned about public trust in NIH. I hope that you understand that proceeding to fail to reinstate or to re-terminate grants that had been found to have been illegally terminated will not increase the public trust in NIH. This would also be substantially damaging to science.
I just sent this email to Director Bhattacharya and am sending him a hard copy by registered mail.

American Psychological Foundation released a call for applications for crisis funding to support early career researchers who had grants terminated. Looks like a great opportunity!

Former NIH director Francis Collins speaks out about why he left NIH:
“I didn’t feel I could raise alarms about the harms that were being done to medical research. I was prohibited from speaking about it.”

I wish some of the folks with terminated grants- especially Harvard, Columbia folks - would post the summary statements from NIH study sections about their grants. The public should know what independent scientists thought about the projects that are being terminated. #PublicHealth #EpiSky #EndAlz
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.
BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.
This is a major win for public health.

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health.
But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."
"A life's worth of work" lost. I can relate!

Jennica Bellanca trained mine workers to stay safe. Her job was cut in massive layoffs at NIOSH, the federal agency that protects worker health.
Jennica warned, “When we’re gone, there’s nobody left to get this vital safety info out.” She was protecting American workers—now millions are at risk.
Understanding how “bad cholesterol” interacts with its receptor could lay the foundation for new therapies to prevent atherosclerosis and cardiac events.

Check out this great paper by @rileym-oneill.bsky.social! Nice work!!
New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.
That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.
Show me a better investment than that.

Six award-winning female scientists told Nature about the women who have inspired them by pushing innovative research and creating opportunities for others. #WomenInStem 🧪
A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants.
