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?

New on ChemRxiv! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

A perfect afternoon in Astoria.

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

Courage and solidarity!

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.

This is your health on MAGA.

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.

Liberation Day to Capitulation Day: did Trump’s tariffs outlast the lettuce?

Congrats to Assist. Prof. Chen Ran (@chenran.bsky.social), one of just 15 selected as a 2025 Searle Scholar! 🌟 His work on how visceral signals are encoded in the brain was recognized for its potential to elucidate disease mechanisms & inform new therapeutics. More: ow.ly/HtLM50VN8sN

#WorldPressFreedomDay 🔥 @froomkin.bsky.social

I am so heartened to this seriously AWESOME #SaveNSF website go up today!!!! Has a take action toolkit with: 1. Press outreach templates 2. Social media toolkit 3. Elected official outreach 4. Talking points Check it out and share widely!!!! Likely more to come. www.savensf.com

Scripps Research Prof. Andrew Ward spoke with @sandiegouniontribune.com about how cryo-EM is reshaping medicine and biological discoveries. His microscopes are helping to reveal new insights into diseases ranging from HIV to Alzheimer's. More: ow.ly/OhaO50VJeA6

See the science behind Lairson’s work—and what it could mean for the future of MS care—at next week’s Front Row lecture. Join us in person or virtually on: 📅 Wednesday, April 16, 2025 🕓 4:00 p.m. PT | 7:00 p.m. ET 🎟️ Register for FREE: ow.ly/tHU450Vw2u4

MS robs people of movement, memory, and independence—with no way to undo the damage. Lairson’s work offers hope that we might not just slow the disease, but reverse it—by reactivating the body’s repair systems to restore myelin and rebuild lost neural function.

In a world of Paul Weiss and Donald Trump, be a Marc Elias.

Today marks five years since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. For millions, including Scripps Research senior program director @julialmv.bsky.social, the crisis isn’t over. In a @usnews.com op-ed, she shares her experience with Long COVID and lessons we must learn.

I truly admire Marc Elias. He and a small group of lawyers are standing up for American rights every single day. I am not affiliated with Marc in any way. Hell. I'm not even American!!! I read his posts and I've watched his YouTube videos. He tells it like it is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrU_...

📢 Last Chance! Registration closes tomorrow! ➡️ Have you signed up for our conference on 17th March yet? Don't miss out! Spaces are limited, so secure your spot now. 🔗 buff.ly/qS125ZE #AIchemyConference #RegisterNow #DontMissOut #AIInnovation

A DNA repair enzyme that some cancers rely on to survive could be the key to more precise treatments. The @landerlab.bsky.social has captured the first images of Pol-theta in action, revealing how it repairs DNA—offering a blueprint for better cancer therapies.

Today at the CSHL #CryoEM course Lauren @lalexandrescu.bsky.social showed everyone how to make their own Quantifoil-style holey cryo-em grids! Thanks to @johnrubinstein.bsky.social for introducing us to this technique - I predict it will be adopted by many other labs!

BUt no science writers conference to report on it.
