McKenzie Scott, Melinda French Gates, and Laurene Powell Jobs are all far better humans than their one-time husbands were. All putting their money to work in constructive ways that their husbands never did.

Asst. Prof. Yuzhong Liu studies how glycosylated molecules shape immune responses and drug behavior. Her lab produces QS-21, an FDA-approved vaccine adjuvant, and other complex natural products in baker’s yeast—reducing reliance on a decades-long, tree-based process.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Received both of these from Oura on the same day.🤔

Out today on JACS ASAP - Baran/Blackmond collaboration demonstrating the power of temperature scanning reactions in mechanistic studies of multicycle catalytic systems. Fantastic work by @dacagan.bsky.social and Aron Peter and Phil who is still over on the other place. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Is this a sandwich @bagphos.bsky.social

Matt Fuchter's @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social research group has for the first time discovered an approach to electrically switch organic LEDs (OLEDs) to emit either left- or right-handed circularly polarized light without changing the light-emitting molecules. https://ow.ly/urf150XGiyk

When even ChatGPT is incredulous that Fox News personalities are in high government positions, we know how much trouble we are in.

Several newspapers are mourning the death of "Shakespeare in Love screenwriter Tom Stoppard" which, while technically true, is very much on the level of "Thomas The Tank Engine narrator Ringo Starr".

“She is doing things that I think are letting this country down". Labour peer Alf Dubs, who arrived in the UK on the Kindertransport, tells @nicolakellywrites.bsky.social that he is deeply disappointed in Shabana Mahmood and Keir Starmer's betrayal of child refugees bylinetimes.com/2025/11/28/a...

This exchange between Hancock and Johnson on 7th March 2020 speaks volumes about that government’s pandemic leadership. Hancock: This is a clarion call for you to lead. Johnson: Ok, I’m off to the rugby.

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

This is how you run. This is how you win. This is the politics we need right now. Democratic socialist candidates can inspire people again, and fight the right effectively. www.currentaffairs.org/news/follow-...

Can Mikie Sherrill please run for President? What an impressive victory speech!

I've recently started working 50% time in the UK, 50% in the US. I just changed the language on my computer to avoid annoying misspellings when I'm trying to be a Brit. Charmingly, Mac OS changed my TRASH can to a BIN.

Listening to Iron and Wine: Tell everybody waiting for Superman that they should try to hold on as best they cn he hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything it's just too heavy for Superman to lift

🇺🇸 🔥 That. Was. Impressive. We are watching America reassert itself and its values from the grassroots up. The world saw you and we have huge hope invested in you.

Lol that the London No Kings event is called No Tyrants because…you know… www.nokings.org#map

Maud Menten was born in Canada in 1879 and completed her UG and MD education at University of Toronto. As a research assistant with Leonor Michaelis in 1912, they wrote the classic paper describing the “Michaelis-Menten” model of enzyme kinetics.. #WomenInScience

I'm happy to see that there will be at least 140 "No Kings" protests across my state of Massachusetts on Saturday. I'll be out there, showing that I oppose this administration's policies. And what's more, I want its officials to have to answer for their mistakes and for their outright crimes.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

I hope that ICE agents know that their identities will be known, and that their grandchildren will ridicule them with tales of their exploits attempting to capture these desperate criminals.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years. Support its vital work to help keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

Happy birthday #physicist Chien-shiung Wu (1912-1997), who came up with a truly beautiful experiment to test whether the weak force conserves parity (whether beta decay would be the same if reflected in the mirror)! 🐡🧪👩🏻‍🔬#histsci In my print on the left I show Wu in her lab & a schematic diagram of 🧵

We’re not here to beg for crumbs off the table — we’re coming for the lot. The billionaires already have three parties working for them. It’s about time the rest of us had one. Join yourparty.uk today.

I have a departmental seminar in Chemistry at Liverpool today. My Fitbit thinks I was swimming for an hour. Maybe I wave my hands around a lot?

Green Party comms could certainly do with some improvement ....

Judge Young: "If putting these words together, DEI, is somehow offensive... does that mean our policy is homogeneity, inequity, and exclusion? Are you going to stand there and tell me that's now the policy of the NIH?"

Conspiracy theorists should read Foucault's Pendulum.

We're still buzzing from Commencement! We asked our new PhDs: How does it feel crossing the stage and what's next after Scripps Research? 🎓✨

Chemists Stuart Schreiber of Harvard University and Arena BioWorks and Peter Schultz of @scripps.edu will split the 2025 Welch Award in Chemistry for their work in the field of chemical biology. cen.acs.org/people/award... #chemsky🧪

We're thrilled to share Associate Professor Mark Levin has been named a recipient of the 2025 National Brown Investigator Award. This award provides up to $2 million over five years and supports fundamental science discoveries in chemistry and physics. physicalsciences.uchicago.edu/news/article...

Scripps Research was recently featured in National Geographic for its innovative approach to regenerative medicine using small-molecule drugs to activate the body’s own stem cells and repair damaged tissue in the lungs, heart and joints. More: ow.ly/Iajg50VVbmR

Congrats to Peter Schultz, PhD, CEO of Scripps Research, who has been awarded the 2025 Welch Award in Chemistry by @thewelchfoundation.bsky.social for pioneering work expanding the genetic code and harnessing chemical diversity to develop novel drugs, proteins and materials.
