"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money." I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

Got stung in the armpit by a carpet anemone while reaching way into an aquarium to maintain it.

Finally out! We studied the retinas of the longest-living vertebrate, the Greenland shark, and found that the retinas remain remarkably healthy in animals around 150 years old. What is the mechanism? It may be a highly efficient DNA repair system. Enjoy! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The United States was the gold standard for science and technology for decades, and there was never any reason that had to end.

Please RT: we are looking for a PhD student to work on macrogenetics and quantitative genetics of South African proteas.

I'm going to start 2026 out looking back at my fave art pieces I got done in 2025. I always feel like I didn't get much done, and that is always untrue. First, a carved wood artist book reflecting on an impending loss of eyesight and how eyes work.

I honed my photography skills and have taken over 30,000 photos this year as part of it. I’m really proud of all of it.

I was out relatively early this year. My favorite Whamageddon loss was when a student's phone rang in class with that as their ringtone. Groans all around, from ~125 ppl. I thought we might as well have fun with it and led a singalong.
