I bring a sort of “learning is a struggle and actually students should want it that way” vibe to hiring committees that members don’t really like

Once again, one of the most revealing & utterly demoralizing aspects of the last year or so has been the very transparent eagerness of so many of our academic colleagues, administrators, & leaders to reveal just how completely they are uninterested in the actual projects of teaching & research.

Watching the timeline try to parse market reactions to Trump's Thought of the Day on Iran and reminding everyone that it's never not a good day to read Ch. 12 of Keynes's General Theory.

So proud of Dr. Pathiranage, and so grateful she took a chance on a new PI. She’s our fluorescent protein star, and off to continue her amazing work at HHMI!

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue. I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe. They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

Solving today's global challenges with science requires collaborative solutions. For Priestley Medalist and 2020 Nobel Prize winner Dr. Jennifer Doudna, chemistry is a strong foundation for any interdisciplinary work. Hear her speak at ACS Spring 2026 — register today! #ACS150

The next congress of the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry (ISHC) will be held July 19–24, 2026 at USP São Carlos, Brazil (first time in Latin America!). It will feature advances in molecular design, catalysis and synthesis. See link below zurl.co/oehB2

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.
