Without naming you job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "OK, tell me what's going on with your mentor"

'Boys will be boys' is the most sexist and pathetic excuse ever... and yet here it is just to remind you how women are viewed by a certain faction of society. Do better.

Trivers and Epstein... vile 🤮

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

Let me translate for the out-of-towners: People made lanterns out of ice (frozen water), put candles in them, and arranged them into giant letters spelling "ICE OUT" on a frozen lake that is not too far from MSP airport.

32 others died at the hands of ICE in 2025. Do not forget them. 2025 was ICE’s deadliest year in two decades. Here are the 32 people who died in custody www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

My ask of any science enthusiasts who tell the story of Rosalind Franklin: Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author. Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

The economic effects of international students go far beyond their tuition dollars. Many stay, innovate, & shape the productivity of the entire economy. My co-authors & I estimate the impact of US international student exclusion policy in this new paper commissioned by the @nationalacademies.org.

Supercool 🧵 on lizards missing limbs, some ways they adapt and how this relates to our understanding of evolution. Once again, biology is more complicated

This is a moment where all cis people need to be calling their elected officials and demanding they protect trans healthcare, even if it means shutting down the government It doesn't matter if you live somewhere red or blue - everyone needs to hear this

Brazil's Independence Day has become the moment for the country’s nationalist, right-wing movement to take to the streets, protest the left and hoist the Brazilian flag. This year, it carried the American flag as a nod to President Trump, in a sign of the U.S. flag’s shifting global image.

People will seriously be like "Who cares about trans rights? It's a tiny number of people who are affected by it?" without realizing that they're talking about millions of human beings.

Trying again: Does anyone know if the NSF GRFP will return this year? We're >1 month past the date of last year's solicitation (July 12, 2024) and there's not a new one up yet. @akallen10.bsky.social @surtlab.bsky.social @sicb.bsky.social @paleophile.bsky.social @omearabrian.bsky.social

Nobody hired Colin Wright because he was an insufferable prick doing bad science. No need to dive deeper than that. The heterodox grift fits him like a glove, though.
