Oh yes she did! Nancy Hopkins & other female scientists at MIT experienced sexism. One night in 1994, she carefully went into each lab WITH A TAPE MEASURE & calculated the area. It turned out that even a JUNIOR faculty member had more sq footage. MIT admitted fault. 🧪 news.mit.edu/2023/measuri...

What a spectacular redemption at the halftime! We’ve been told for centuries that happiness can only exist on the other side of the velvet rope; Bad Bunny managed to uplift and celebrate humanity, hopes and joys of ordinary poor people with so much taste and so much class👏 Bravo! No notes

Despite the rain had the absolute privilege of following a barn owl as it hunted along the riverside meadow this morning. These kind of encounters really keep me from tipping into despair at the state of the world. Go outside everyone, despite our fuckwittery the world is still a beautiful place 💚

Medieval history has been my escape to curb anxiety for a while. After all, if it happened 6-7 hundred years ago, there is nothing I can do about it Roman (obviously), recent history (especially American), even biology send my mind into a tailspin Soooo, I recently started watching geology videos 😀

The ceremony will feature light roadkill hors d’oeuvres, goblets of beef tallow, and a sewage plunge, and will include a memorial tribute to the parasitic worm that perished after eating a portion of his brain, but whose influence continues to be deeply felt.

Cute way to make a very serious point

Sea anemones and jellyfish don’t have brains, but the way their neurons behave during sleep shows some surprising similarities to humans

It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

A tale of greed, incompetence and hubris that turned flawed men into monsters And beginning of the fall of the system that allowed it Not an easy book Highly recommend At times strangely similar to nowadays

We need the opposite of cynicism. Mister Rogers saved PBS funding by being earnest. Mrs Rachel infuriates the right by being earnest. Modeling decency and shaming those who are cruel or unkind by example with chest full out is the way out of this politics of viciousness and dishonesty.

I know disciplinary standards differ, but I've been at this for decades and I've never cited a paper I didn't read. Didn't like, sure; didn't understand, often; kind of drifted off in the middle there, it happens. But didn't read at all? Nah. Come on.
