Newly elected members of Congress include several STEM professionals
For my birthday I wanted a blue wave. But I did not expect to a STEM WAVE! A record level of science people get elected! RFK Jr et al. need to gird their loins. It took a frightening descent into this level of madness to get what we desperately need. The work starts in 2027. archive.today/fb69g

AnthropoloBlexas! 🐳3Annie Andrews already said on Maddow that she is coming for RFK
Princess Vimentin PhD | Cancer Biologist3I am irritated at the fact that there is no edit button 😣
Dosco Jones1The work has to start now. That will give them two months to put a plan together. They need to be able to fight coherently as a group from the moment they are sworn in.
THE ANOINTED ATHEIST1The unrelenting stupidity of the Trump regime is exhausting, and our weariness is what they were counting on. But we didn’t give in. We didn’t back down. We met their ignorance and corruption with courage and resolve. On Nov. 3rd, we proved that America belongs to ALL OF US, not just to them.
Child of Greek immigrants1This is what I posted on 11/3, sometimes having an Election Day birthday is great
Yet another facet of the upcoming transformation... Bill Cassidy out and many scientists, doctors, and public health officials stepping in.
Plain Lincoln19Gosh, what a novel idea! Putting people who actually KNOW THINGS in charge of THINGS THEY KNOW ABOUT!👍
Joshua Weitz18More to come, this time from @statnews.com: "A common thread among the physicians running for office was calling for accountability for Kennedy."
Mity Cheese3They should have been there all along. The problem is, people who are ethical worry that they won't be trusted if they're "political." It's a legitimate concern, but the problems we face are too important for anyone to be on the sidelines.
John M.3Science is like Democracy, it isn't perfect, but it beats all the alternatives.
Evergreen Innovations LLC2It's funny, it's almost like people are tired of conspiracy theorists and idiots in positions of authority
megafawn.bsky.social1I think and hope that one thread of this is that folks chose to put in power those that will view abortion and gender-affirming care as health care.
Prof Gavin Yamey MD MPH109It’s going to be very satisfying watching a panel of brilliant Democratic scientists, physicians, nurses, and epidemiologists grilling the MAGA/MAHA leaders—Drs Oz, Bhattacharya, Makary, Prasad, & Høeg and RFK Jr—to ask them why they gleefully dismantled public health, vaccine systems, & science.
Anna Gifty70Gutting the NSF and NIH radicalized the academy (positive). Up until very recently, scientists largely stayed out of politics but as I told my therapist, what constitutes an academic is about to change.
Jonathan Howard33It’s the mirror opposite of this picture and it’s going to be amazing.
Rebecca Spang16THIS. Of all the things, it is unaccountably the only one that has me tearing up from happiness...
Ambassador (ret.) Janet Sanderson9This is A Good Thing.
Drug Monkey9Such a huge win for the country.
jentrification6PEOPLE WHO RETAIN WHAT THEYVE READ!
The ɅɅeech4you took their jobs so they came back and took yours
Unsurprisingly, candidates and voters who were concerned about science and science policy have one thing in common: they don't vote Republican. And they're determined to put an end to Trump's anti-science policies.
Cajun1Knowing something Trump doesn’t is a pretty low bar.
Whittlesworth1Also important here, I think, is if scientists are included, their approach to all issues will be very different. Even in matters for which they have no expertise, they are versed in the scientific method and will proceed accordingly.
