on this day 105 years ago in 1921 the Tulsa Race Massacre began when white supremacists destroyed Tulsa's Greenwood district. This group of citizens destroyed 35 blocks of "Black Wall Street", killed 300, and left 10,000 Black citizens homeless.

Hey Ken Paxton – why did you do this? Did Trump tell you to do so – or was it your decision?

CIHR has launched a trial ballon that suggests shifting to one competition a year. This is the worst idea I have heard in a long time. The only benefit is making top-line success rates look better than they are. Keep it as is, do in-person reviews, and keep the pain in the open.

(As part of a discussion on the overheating methyl methacrylate tank) I've never worked on chemical-plant scale, but I do have a "hot work" story. It was back at a former company, in a building that has since been torn down. (1/6)

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Yup. Sitting on a 3% scored R01 since Jan and I still don’t know if it’s getting funded. This is just not sustainable. How is the NIH going to spend its mandated budget?!

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Finally, a major American newspaper whose editorial board is courageous enough to stand up for the rights of big tech companies.

While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

Here's a little thread to brighten up your day. Back around 2004 we adopted a box turtle named Leo. His provenance was hazy--he had been a classroom pet at my kids' school, then was taken home by another family and had to survive a chaotic household for several years.

Bingo! Do I win a prize now?

notably his cure is from CAR-T therapy, which is so new I didn’t even learn about it in med school THIS is why we invest in science

American science is shrinking. 
A Post analysis found that, halfway through this fiscal year, the number of competitive grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health is down by more than half compared with the same period last year. https://wapo.st/3OgoHKV

For the cost of one Harvard Professor of the Constitution Only Applies to White People, you could endow 10 professorships of any less commonly taught language at any university in the USA
