Artemis II has been a much needed celebration of science, competency, and humanity.
But reminder: the White House is proposing cutting NASA’s budget by billions.
If you’ve loved watching our astronauts, don’t forget to call your representatives and urge them to keep funding science.

The CDC has delayed the publication of a report showing that the Covid vaccine significantly reduced the likelihood of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.
This is a clear example of putting politics over science at the cost of lives.

A judge ruled that members of RFK Jr’s vaccine committee were "distinctly unqualified.”
So RFK Jr rewrote the rules of membership for the committee, because of course he did.

Today is a good day to remember that Carl Sagan was as outspoken about the dangers of war and nuclear weapons as he was an advocate of space exploration.

Today reminded us that no matter how far technology can take us, what ultimately propels us to new heights is the care humans can have for each other. Thank you Artemis II and NASA!

I love how people are cheering on NASA like it’s their sports team EXCEPT everyone is cheering for the SAME team!

Trump's 2027 budget proposes cuts of:
🔻 $5.8 billion to NIH
🔻 $5.6 billion to NASA
🔻 $4.8 billion to NSF
🔻 $4.6 billion to EPA
🔻 $2.9 billion to CDC
🔻 $1.6 billion to NOAA
If these science cuts pass, the US will be a less healthy and less safe place to live.

Pfizer just announced that its Lyme disease vaccine reduced the number of tick-borne infections by over 70% in a phase 3 trial.
Warning: GSK pulled a Lyme vaccine in 2002 despite studies showing it posed no serious safety risks.
Any new Lyme vaccine is going to be a huge target for antivaxxers.
