00:00No more 404!

00:04Let's show R.F.K. the door!

00:08Let's show Elon Musk the door!

00:17What do we do when cancer research is under attack?

00:20Stand up, fight back!

00:22What do we do when sociology research is under attack?

00:25Stand up, fight back!

00:27What do we do when physics is under attack?

00:30Stand up, fight back!

00:32And it's a training ground for young scientists.

00:36I can tell you that what I see happening there right now to my colleagues is gut-wrenching.

00:42It is absolutely horrible.

00:45And Ted Cruz is advocating for a two-thirds cut to the NSF budget.

00:50No more 404!

00:53What's left? Entire subfields of science are going to collapse.

00:58Congress established agencies like the National Institute of Health.

01:03The doge chainsaw is going to affect us all.

01:10It's going to defund life-saving research.

01:13It's going to threaten our economy.

01:15It's going to impede innovation.

01:18And it's going to kneecap an entire generation of scientific talent.

01:49Because science is being destroyed by the current administration,

01:53and my wife and I are protesting more and more because it's necessary.

02:02You know, what's going on in Washington right now is an abomination.

02:07And when our elected officials start trying to convince not just the American people

02:15but the world that facts can be choices, I think that's really dangerous.

02:20I think we've sort of moved away from the concept of doing research and critical thinking

02:26in favor of just believing what you want to believe

02:29and agreeing with the people that you already agree with.

02:32And I find that really dangerous.

02:34And so I'm here to support science and scientists and research

02:37and funding the critical work that those people do.

02:41And patients are terrified.

02:44Carrie Kirk, we hope these...

03:03I think basic research is one of the most important tools

03:08I think basic research is one of the clear areas in which the federal government

03:13has done so much to save lives in America and around the world.

03:17And it's absurd to me that we're cutting this as the perils to humanity

03:23and to U.S. citizens increase every day.

03:26It was the NOAA cuts in particular because weather data is just so crucial to all of us

03:32that I couldn't believe and made me really angry.

03:35And I was really gratified to see that there was this opportunity to show support for basic science.

03:41Stand up for science.

03:44We need more answers.

03:47Science is good for you and me.

03:53Science makes a healthy nation.

04:00Science is good for you and me.

04:05Science is good for you and me.

04:10We recommend you take science classes.

04:15Stand up for science.
