First they came for the Immigrants. And I wrote a memo. Then they came for trans people. And I wrote a memo. Then they came for the comedians. And I wrote a memo. Then they came for me. And there was no one to write a memo for me.

@mbeisen.bsky.social and I have already been operating without journal proxies throughout our careers and, tbh, every aspect of it is better. Both the experience of doing science and the potential outcomes for science. 5/

Thoughtful and powerful advice from @pracheeac.bsky.social and @mbeisen.bsky.social

While journal publishing has always been deeply problematic, hurting both the pace and trajectory of science, something is happening in this moment that is finally causing the system to crumble under its own weight and cost. 1/

Absolute football hilarity.

I have never wanted to be in a pub with the @arseblog.com gents more than right now.

This is for you, @benlindbergh.bsky.social

A fly that gets everyone to say "screw worms" is the perfect animal.

COYG!!!!!

Harvard never should have had these patents in the first place - nobody should be able to patent government funded work - and universities really do misuse their IP portfolios - but man this is some seriously unprincipled and incoherent bullshit.

Made my film obsessed kid a drive in theater cake featuring a full screening of their favorite film - @edgarwright.bsky.social’s Hot Fuzz.

I went to grad school.

Some people spend their lives saying they care about others but when given an actual opportunity to, don't.

No. Starting July 1, academics can no longer be complicit in paywalling publicly funded research.

LET'S GO YOU FUCKING GUNNERS!!!!!!

The fact that Oded is still heralded as a scientific leader says all you need to know about science IMO.

GPT 4o: Yo. Who's up?

Wow. They really ARE trying to destroy science.

The most Harvard thing ever is to use this as a chance to say you went to Harvard.

How NOT to respond when science is under existential threat

COYFG!!!!

The overwhelming weight of evidence points to a raccoon dog as the source of the tariffs.

Anyone who posts that they have a 4.0 and a 1600 SAT and doesn’t understand why they didn’t get into their top school is showing why.

Happy Opening Day

Beyond the absurd historical revisionism, is the lack of cultural awareness to recognize that even if the Nazi's could had occupied France continuously since 1940, they would still be speaking French.

A paywalled article from @nature.com bemoaning the exploitation of scientists' unpaid labour. Chef's kiss. Perfection. No notes.

Things are rough this PI Day, so do something nice for your PI.
