After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

As a scientist, I really appreciate @CallofDuty’s commitment to accurately portraying a tabletop centrifuge. The details are spot on

Huge shoutout to our amazing Du Bois Scholars Fellow, Justin, for his awesome presentation on conserved virulence gene expression across Lm strains! Thanks for all your hard work and best of luck with med school apps! You’ve got this!

Hey @elonmusk donate the same amount of money that Harvard lost this year to make Trump more upset 😉

[David Sinclair @davidasinclair]

stop cutting and terminating our funding

@baym Should we expect them to start targeting NSF-GRFP recipients at Harvard soon?

[Bri @Sciencewithbri]

I’m scared

[(((Charles Fishman))) 💧 @cfishman]

The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books.

The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development.

These aren’t ‘woke donations.’

They are contracts. Proposed, reviewed, awarded, with metrics and deadlines and standards of performance.

Harvard is a government contractor in that sense — lab by lab, scientist by scientist — just the way any other company is a contractor.

That’s true of Columbia’s $400 million in ‘frozen’ contracts — and all the rest.

R1 research universities do crucial research the federal government can’t do itself, but that we as a nation have decided we need done.

Mission driven. Pioneering. Essential.

They can’t be done — as Sean Hannity just suggested — at community colleges & vocational schools.

That’s not what the $2.2 billion is being spent on.

…You could Google it. Of course.

[Harvard University @Harvard]

The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government. https://t.co/5k5t9RYYC2

Researchers are organizing protests and making their voices heard as Trump officials slash funding and lay off federal scientists
