Very proud of this story, including the way it puts the ccurrent defunding of science into a fascinating (to me) historic perspective. And I'd like to thank both the scientists and the historians who made this smart. And who stood up!

it's hard to be a young scientist in the US rn. funding is uncertain, evidence is ignored and good researchers are leaving. but, as @deborahb.bsky.social writes for @sciam.bsky.social, history is cyclical. we can learn from the past. #SciAmYoungScientists www.scientificamerican.com/article/scie...

It’s a complicated time to be a young scientist in America. Lessons from history can tell us what the future might hold
