As Moody’s notes, India makes 60% of generic and OTC medications, half of the US supply and 85% of the UK supply all those medications ship West via the Strait of Hormuz

Donald Trump and Mikhail Gorbachev * ruined global superpowers * made Pizza Hut ads

Using the same server a decade later is a flex.

Citizenship, per the Trump administration, is the right to have rights. If citizenship itself is not a right (and simply a "privilege"), there are no other rights. Every right becomes contingent on the capricious decisions of the Trump administration to grant or revoke citizenship.

Big congrats to our SFB alumna @vcmentowski.bsky.social on receiving the Bayer Pharmaceuticals PhD Award! Her work (previously also conducted in @andrea-musacchio.bsky.social's lab) reveals how CENP-E orchestrates kinetochore corona assembly and links it to mitotic checkpoint signaling. 🎉

Jesus fuck

Huzzah!!!

clear your evening, this is a gift.

it’s too late to make any improvements now

There are so many colorful ways to hate your job

Whelp - they gave it a good go

As always, Josh Marshall has the best analysis of this mess. In a just world, he would be the editor of the NYT or the WP. He and his team do fantastic invaluable work and deserve your support.

I’d like to point out as well that as I was making my lil Table of CDC Directors I had to laugh, because only the woman was required to have relevant training and experience for the position. For the men, it was what the hell, let’s just give them the job in the absence of any real qualifications.

we are not going to outchud the republican party and theirs are not our values

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

Effective at what? The primary goal is transferring tax dollars to Trump cronies. Current policy is highly effective by that metric.

So proud to share my paper on collective chemotaxis and force coordination in epithelial and mesenchymal cells, developed in the Mayor Lab and now published in JCB. Deeply grateful for everything I learned from Xenopus NC and the amphibian world, where adaptation is everything🐸

This rendition of Flashing Lights? 👌🏽😮‍💨

Maybe he'll talk about his own work as a cautionary tale.

“Those people”

if you have anything important to tell us, out with it; but if you are only trying to bamboozle us, you are mistaken in your game

Stonehenge is "mysterious." The Marfa lights are "mysterious." Finding the Mary Celeste abandoned and crewless in 1872 was "mysterious." The word you're looking for is "corrupt."

Big loser energy. Sad.

Pulte deserves pity because he suffers from a rare form of forehead hyperplasia syndrome, a painful and untreatable condition

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

Email your senators to urge them not to confirm Jim O’Neill as Director of the National Science Foundation. He's not a scientist, has no relevant expertise, promoted vaccine misinformation, and he helped gut the CDC. Email your senators here! : tr.ee/NoToONeill (1/2🧵)

When this is all over, these people need to be sent into exile.

I care so deeply about craft. youtu.be/4FLVNd5wNmQ?...

Astonishing thread

Real time example of MTSW principle “they like him and they’re trying to help him”

So many of us called this out as market manipulation when it happened. And it’s not the first time. 📌 Traders placed $580 million in oil trades 15 minutes ahead of Donald Trump’s social media post announcing a postponement of the attacks on Iran’s infrastructure.

With the western US heat wave in full swing, Colorado snowpack levels are dropping to catastrophic lows (black line in graph below)

Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.

Vax denier and drama queen. Two ucky tastes that aren’t better together

Well, this is a surprise... This is the landing page for NIH Reporter. Those curves are new and look vaguely familiar... I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery (or NIH_leadership™ doesn't want reporters getting their data from a deranged activist).

Will have more about this work and a companion paper from my lab when both are back to back in their actual issue. Very happy with process at GENETICS. Please consider them for your work

Ubiquitin never ceases to amaze and delight. Here a self-propagating system ensnares and entangles cytoplasmically replicating RNAs in structurally distinct ubiquitin chains

Remember the law-review author who outsourced his writing to generative AI? The one that made me say, "I now know that neither this attorney’s new article nor their old one is worth reading." He outed himself, and it turns out the article in question is as bad as I predicted. Worse, even. 1/

Karp, remember, was the first of the lawfirm chairmen to bend the knee to the Trump DOJ

Still with the body armor. I guess it gives them that classic badass grabbing your body armor pose, someplace to hitch their stupid idle hands
