Sinai Student Workers-UAW

We are forming a union as student workers to increase the power of our voice as researchers @IcahnMountSinai. RTs ≠ endorsements.

[Fund NY Science @FundNYScience]

Today in Albany, we made the case to dozens of state legislators and staff for investing in NY science through the Empire State Biomedical Research proposal. #FundNYScience

[Fund NY Science @FundNYScience]

Check out this highlight from @samhegde2006 @IcahnMountSinai at our Statewide Town Hall for research funding: "When science funding is disrupted, it doesn’t just slow down discovery, it also cuts short promising careers, with rippling effects on society and healthcare. We actually have a real opportunity right now to change the narrative, right here in NY."

[Fund NY Science @FundNYScience]

We’re holding Virtual Statewide Town Hall for Medical Research on January 9! Join researchers, medical colleges, patients, and political allies to discuss how state funding can advance life-saving research. Let us know if you can make it! https://t.co/SCsjMMALaQ

"I'm proud that we are performing ground breaking research at public universities in New York, and I know that by expanding science funding we can go even further." - Thomas Melendy, Associate Professor @UBuffalo

[Fund NY Science @FundNYScience]

"@GovKathyHochul's Emerging Technology Advisory Board released a major report earlier this month - its first recommendation to the Governor? ""Launch a new Empire State research excellence fund to invest in basic and translational research""

We agree - it's time to invest in New York's scientific future #EBRI

[Fund NY Science @FundNYScience]

We’re calling on @GovKathyHochul to invest in the Empire Biomedical Research Institute—because a robust, stable research ecosystem protects jobs, fuels innovation, and
strengthens community health statewide. New York must invest in our continued global leadership in science.

"The lack of stable funding this year cut my department in half, leaving an empty space that reminds us how quickly life-changing research can disappear." -Natalia, Postdoctoral Research Scientist @Columbia

[UAW @UAW]

"Deep and widespread cuts planned in the coming weeks by the administration of The New School in New York to fill a $48 million budget hole has spurred @UAW7902 members and others at the university into open rebellion."

Sign-on to the letter urging The New School administrators to STOP THE CUTS!
