#ScienceUnderSiege: The Orlando Research Conference Fallout
Something alarming is happening in the #ScientificCommunity, and it’s not getting the attention it deserves. A recent #NIH-backed #neuroscience conference in #Orlando turned into a disaster. Research sessions were canceled after being mistaken for “#DEI” initiatives, and funding was pulled.
One session on the diversity of afferent firing in the cochlea (how nerve cells transmit sound) was targeted because people saw the word “#diversity” and assumed it was political. #MAGA hat-wearing attendees reportedly vandalized posters.
The nescient reaction of the MAGA hat-wearing attendees to the word “diversity”—mistaking a scientific discussion on neural firing patterns in the cochlea for a political agenda—exemplifies a dangerous blend of #ignorance and ideological rigidity. Their inability to differentiate between linguistic context and #partisan buzzwords not only disrupted legitimate research but also underscored the broader issue of anti-intellectualism undermining scientific progress.
Worse, researchers discovered their already earned funding was revoked, postdoc opportunities disappeared, and the conference felt like a #funeral for the field as careers crumbled in real time.
Meanwhile, the NIH was banned from attending due to a new administration-imposed blackout on communications and travel, delaying critical #research on #Cancer, #HeartDisease, and #Diabetes.
#Science depends on open inquiry—but now, #political interference is gutting #research. This isn’t just about one conference. It’s a direct attack on scientific progress. If we don’t stand up now, what’s next?
Science must remain free from political control.

Gemeinsam haben die Universität Innsbruck und das Spin-off AQT erstmals in Österreich einen #Quantencomputer in eine High-Performance-Computing-Umgebung eingebunden.
Dieses Hybrid aus #Supercomputer und Quantenrechner ermöglicht die Lösung von komplexen Aufgaben in Chemie, Materialwissenschaften oder Optimierung und wird bereits von Anwendern in Forschung und Industrie erprobt. Die Schnittstellen sind offen dokumentiert.

We are delighted to share the first look at our programme for European Researchers' Night! There's something for all ages and all interests from September 25 culminating in #EuropeanResearchersNight on September 29.
There are more exciting events and activities to be announced over the coming weeks!
Boosts are very much appreciated!
Big thanks to everyone who showed support for our new logo and rebrand! We're excited about what this fresh start means for us at the Ragon Institute. Together, let's keep pushing the boundaries of infectious disease research!
