Not a new insight, but it's truly something to see how many Westerners have internalised that the people we are supposedly freeing through our imperial warfare don't have to be alive to be free.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

This conservation genomics course looks great!!

He still runs a lab according to the piece. That can’t be safe for anybody. Much less for women.

Gift link from the NYT story about Axel and Epstein. When I was at Columbia he ran a lab where sexual harassment of women was business as usual. We all knew. We all warned each other. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/n...

My ethnicity is Black. I capitalize the B because the culture created by my ancestors in the US is monumental in its own right and distinct from other members of a shared diaspora. Hard pass on twisting those facts into ahistorical talking points indistinguishable from white ethnonationalism.

I wouldn’t put it this way for research, as science isn’t about winning. But I also returned last week from China with similar sentiments about Chinese prowess. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/o...

Magnificent work by @daniela-oaks.bsky.social and team in Mexico 🇲🇽

La UNAM, que no tiene perfil aquí en Bluesky (hay que presionar!) con su equipo de TV UNAM Global hicieron un pequeño video para contextualizar los resultados de nuestro estudio. Se los dejo por si le quieren echar un ojo, dura 2 minutos :p #HistoriasUNAM youtu.be/WYwBzb2LN6s?...

Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.

🧵 New preprint! Our 4-lab team evolved Streptococcus pneumoniae in antibiotic-treated mice of varying immune states and discovered something surprising: bacteria rarely evolved resistance. Instead, they found a different way to survive — by rewiring RNA turnover. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Found out today that an institution where I’m a guest speaker can’t help me with arrangements for accommodations (arrangements, not costs) because I come with my family. Pretty ironic given today we‘re meant to celebrate women in science.

"The academic structure … makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury." In this #ScienceWorkingLife, two postdocs share how, as women in academia, having children can feel impossible—and how talking about it makes them feel less alone. https://scim.ag/46uBWgD #WomenInScienceDay

“Success in US science has come from sustained funding and welcoming the best talent from around the world, yet both of these advantages are in decline” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification. But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Women known as the “Military Mapping Maidens” produced tens of thousands of topographic maps during World War II, while men fought overseas. Yet their work remained largely uncredited until recently, explains a specialist in geographic information systems.
