Postdoc alert in spatial biology! Building upon our previous work with MSI cancers (e.g. de Vries et al, Nature, 2023), the Voest Group at the NKI is hiring a (fully funded) postdoctoral fellow with strong expertise in spatial cancer biology. Learn more / apply here: www.nki.nl/careers-stud...

The Jets’ two best forwards are very good. But the international performance/decisions and how the Jets perform when it leans heavily on them should tell us something. A lot of #NHLJets fans are overrating them.

Happy Flag Day, Canada 🇨🇦

Moderna is at least the ninth company to have received a surprise rejection from Vinay Prasad and his team.

I accept you with minor revisions.

How could a simple self-replicating system emerge at the origins of life? RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but existing ones are so large that their self-replication seems impossible. Could they be smaller? Excited to share our latest work in @science.org on a new small polymerase. 1/n

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Yeah, what could go wrong?

Some personal news

RFK Jr.'s rejection of the Modern mRNA flu vaccine will kill thousands of Americans each year. But my liberal daughter won't shut about the health benefits of yoga. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Liberals say that Trump's plan to steal the 2026 election undermines our democracy. They're wrong—Trump's plan to steal the 2026 election undermines our republic.

We have a 3-years position open in our facility. Come join us to do great science in a nice team! jobs.unibas.ch/offene-stell...

As Rodrigo starts his new Asst Prof position 🤩, we are excited to welcome two new postdocs! Dr. Mahdi Eskandarian Boroujeni is our expert molecular & computational biologist, and Dr. Tamiris Prizon is our expert in rodent behavior, ephys, & calcium imaging. Can't wait to see what they'll accomplish🧠

Very proud to be part of this! @caldaslab.bsky.social @lautenbergc.bsky.social @hrazaalilab.bsky.social

I feel exactly the same way about all of the scientists who were RIF’d or had their funding denied. The ripple effects are enormous and will undermine public health for decades to come. It will take a beat for the general public to see it, but it’s coming.

Early in his career, William Randolph Hearst famously joked that if his papers kept losing $1 million a year, he'd lose all his money in 60 years. If the Post continues to lose $100 million a year, it will take Jeff Bezos 2000 years to lose his money.

It’s been a week since ICE murdered anybody. Can I go back to complaining about the woke kids?

Each Epstein email has so many layers of slime people miss some. This email is Ken Starr, fired for covering up sexual assault, offering to help his former client Jeffrey Epstein's friend's sexual harassment charges by introducing him to Jed Rubenfeld, later put on leave for sexual misconduct. 1/

“Refugees have a legal right … not to be subjected to the terror of being arrested and detained without warrants or cause .… The Court expects that this Order will be complied with in all respects.”

Ok, I have to say it. These people are fitting the definitely of "evil". The kind you see in movies. Where the audience clearly knows who the bad guys are.

One newspaper got it right

Trump agent killing a man by shooting him in the back.

32 others died at the hands of ICE in 2025. Do not forget them. 2025 was ICE’s deadliest year in two decades. Here are the 32 people who died in custody www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The Senate may choose to vote together on the DHS and LHHS bills. Thus, a filibuster on DHS may mean no funding for NIH. What my colleagues are saying: “Shut it down, public health will understand. I’ll work without pay again.” - anonymous NIHer

As a someone with a 33 year NIH-funded lab whose grant is supposed to be reviewed this week, shut NIH down if that is what's needed to end ICE terrorism. Innocent lives are more important 🧪

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and masked secret police roam our streets murdering civilians and abducting the witnesses. But at least now we have full sovereignty over a couple of military bases in Greenland.

And the ICE agent behind him removes his own sidearm from its holster and PUTS HIS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER, after Alex Pretti's own sidearm was taken from him by another ICE agent. Was the first shot fired from his service weapon?

Remember when these guys lied that they were preserving Confederate monuments because you had to leave up the whole messy contested historical record rather than erasing history?

Once it became clear that an ICE agent could commit murder in broad daylight with no consequences except the VPOTUS defending him with no heed to the facts and instead vilifying and prosecuting the victim, we opened the door to roving death squads. But there is no statute of limitations for murder.

This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability. Joining ICE does not give you license to murder. The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

Words matter. Any media outlet describing ICE’s activities as “immigration enforcement” is circulating propaganda for Trump’s regime.

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

More examples of a federal judge finding that the Trump regime has violated court orders: “the defiance of several court orders by ICE, and the illegal detention of many detainces by ICE (including, yesterday, a two-year old).” And has lied to courts: “I have not ‘refused’ to make a decision …

As a principled libertarian I have no trouble with ICE entering homes without a warrant as long as the people in those homes are liberals.

ICE is executing protesters the right way. by Ezra Klein

He knows everybody knows he’s lying. They get off on this. It makes them feel like big important white men to lie without consequences.

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers. Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

Opinion | If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, he would give his Nobel peace prize to Donald Trump

Perfect encapsulation of Trump’s (idiotic) corruption: his repeated demands to Norwegian PM for Nobel Peace Prize. If the Norwegian government chose the Nobel Peace Prize winner, the Emoluments Clause would forbid Trump from accepting it. See 2009 DOJ OLC opinion www.justice.gov/olc/file/200...
