This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977.

Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

What would it take for us to step back from the brink of losing a functional democracy?

One step is court orders. Today, a small piece of good news for NIH.

Another step is large-scale protest.

Today I describe how these two components fit together: samwang.substack.com/p/for-us-sci...
For U.S. science, a small step back from the brink
And an evidence-based path for you to help on Friday.

@jcvi.org just announced their support for all employees who want to attend the #standupforscience2025 rallies on Friday. With so many institutions staying silent, this makes me feel proud to work here! Our team will be showing up on both coasts!

Really missing the precedented times after the last inauguration when the spiciest news headline was about who Joe Biden’s dog bit.

@aoc.bsky.social ‘s discussion of things going on and guidance on how we can respond actually eased my anxieties a bit in that it made all the madness feel a little clearer and the opposing response a little more strategic.

Ready to be “sand in the gears” in whatever small ways that I can.

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.

It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌

I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

It’s trying times like these when the office Puzzle Table feels the most necessary…
