I hate to say it, America, but I told you so.

@JakeLang Such bs

At the 2024 Entomology Conference in Phoenix, science writer @ShawnOtto discussed the role of scientists in countering #disinformation, emphasizing that while science is non-partisan, findings often have political and economic impacts, making it a target. tipaz.org/latest-news/lc…

Added @ShawnOtto's acclaimed book, #WarOnScience, to our library of top titles related to disinformation. Scientist @LKrauss1 wrote the forward, emphasizing the importance of its examination of the factors behind the rise of authoritarian politics. tipaz.org/books-1

We added science writer and advocate @ShawnOtto's landmark read to our list of 'musts,' joining other great works by @JonHaidt, @karaswisher, @PeterHotez, @GaryMarcus, @noUpside, @Sander_vdLinden, @sheeraf, @ceciliakang, @TimothyDSnyder, among others 👉 tipaz.org/books-1

@elonmusk You can’t look at birth rates in isolation. Pre-public health about 1 in 5 kids died. You have to look at the net kids reaching adulthood, and then consider the net average lifespan of adults which, pre public health, was age 47.

Europe is dying 😔

I used to hold our baby son up, shake him, and say “shaken baby syndrome!” He’d laugh hysterically. But #RobertRoberson is on death row over this debunked nonsense. We have til 10/17 to save him. Please join me & @innocence - add your name to his petition: shorturl.at/tFIJ9

@GerberKawasaki Potentially a great truck. I waited for it for years before I finally got a Rivian 16 months ago. But this launch video… sucks. All short cuts so you can’t see any features. What is the message they were trying to get across that needed this video to tell?

A great day for Tesla. The future is now. They will sell all the Cybertrucks they make for years to come. $TSLA

@elonmusk why @? Why not a symbol like % which looks like X and also like two people talking?

Evelyn Fox Keller, a theoretical physicist, a mathematical biologist and, beginning in the late 1970s, a feminist theorist who explored the way gender pervades and distorts scientific inquiry, has died at 87. nyti.ms/3ZEuYRM

@elonmusk It’s not a sumo injury; that’s a side effect of earlier damage called gamer’s back. I had it too - cervical injury from hunched writing and coding posture. I found a genius PT that is rebuilding my body. That’s what you need.

Our incredible teams worked at the national & state levels to press candidates to address science policy challenges. And they did. Over the years, we've also been so encouraged by the growing community of orgs that have emerged, focused on evidence-based policies. /2

After co-founding & leading @SciDebate for 15yrs, I'm thrilled to share it's now part of @NSPN. I could not be prouder of the org or more grateful to the wonderful ppl & partners we've built a movement with making science issues matter in elections. sciencedebate.org/about-history.… /1

There are far too many individuals to acknowledge, but a few that deserve special recognition are @SimianMatthew, @ShawnOtto, Ryan Johnson, @chriscmooney, @LKrauss1, Darlene Cavalier @SciStarter, Austin Dacey & @halpsci who were with us from the beginning. /3

I'm looking forward to watching @SciDebate grow & evolve under new leadership @NSPN! Never has our mission been more vital to the future of democracy & our world. /4

@SenWhitehouse Nearly 7,000 Russian scientists & science journalists have risked everything by signing an open letter to Putin condemning the invasion trv-science.ru/2022/02/we-are…

Putin and his oligarchs seek the protection of our rule of law and our secure financial system to stow their illicit money. To gain that protection, they need anonymity. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

5300+ Russian scientists sign open letter to Putin condemning the war. Translation here: facebook.com/shawnlawrenceo…

I am 1/4 Ukrainian. Here’s a story relevant to today’s disaster. In 1976 I traveled to Moscow in a 6-person U.S. delegation to an ocean science conference, 1 of the early ‘safe exchanges’ (athletes & scientists) in the thaw of in relations between the U.S. & the USSR.

Hey @JohnKerry can I send you a copy of The #WarOnScience ? It’s not that scientists to communicate more; believe me, they have been. It’s that politicians need take on the real culprit: ban the fraud of massive corporate product defense PR campaigns that peddle in falsehoods.
