Canadian satire outlet @the-goose-media.bsky.social produces a great two-minute recap of the Mark Carney-Danielle Smith oil pipeline announcement. 👇 youtube.com/shorts/2sCuj...

Went for a long hike on the most remote stretch of California coast, only to find this piece of plastic pollution washed up. Seems that Chevron tries to ruin absolutely everything...

I knew record amounts of glyphosate were being sprayed in California’s forests, much of it in the wake of the megafires that have hit the state in recent years. But it was hard to fully get a sense of the scale of the destruction until I saw it from the sky.

The roots of some of our worst climate policies, it turns out, lie in an intellectually corrupt Ivy League collab with Big Oil. It should piss you off billmckibben.substack.com/p/youre-payi...

"The report calls for hood height caps of 85 cm (33.5 inches), width limits of 192 cm (75.6 inches), taxes tied to vehicle dimensions, parking fees based on size, and regulatory incentives reserved for smaller EVs measuring less than 4.2 meters (165.4 inches) long."

Hart et al show that somatostatin released by delta cells during nutrient stimulation mostly inhibits alpha cell cAMP and Ca2+ via SSTR2. This prevents glucagon release and indirectly limits potentiation of insulin release link.springer.com/article/10.1... 🔓

NIH grants have been under political scrutiny since early 2025. But what does the screening process actually look like? What is being flagged? I spent a month digging into leaked docs and emails. We've published the 235-word list that are being flagged by an internal AI tool. And so much more. 🧵

"We're the test case." At NIH, even grants that have passed peer review are delayed for political screening. Officials warn the proposed OMB rule would codify this chaos aross the fed. government. Politicians shouldn't be able to decide what questions science is allowed to ask. zurl.co/f6hmm

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

So grateful to @amywestervelt.bsky.social and everyone else involved for making this so clear. and infuriating. projects.propublica.org/carbon-captu....

More than 3 years and 100 interviews later, I have answers to those questions and many that followed. This interactive, which I made with the fabulous lucaswaldron.bsky.social for @propublica.org with art by Case Jernigan, gets at those first questions. projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-c...

Here's what's really going on: Gavin Newsom comes out swinging against California billionaire tax www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Leave it to the Dutch to pedestrianize American streets! #FIFAWorldCup #NothingLikeOranje

Just incredible levels of denial from an otherwise very smart scientist. "Pacala rejected the concern that BP’s influence on their thinking might be subtle, stating that people who are subconsciously influenced in this way have 'weak character.'" Amazing job by the journalists pushing back.

Sorry not sorry for the next several months of relentless book promotion, I didn't create this system! But for real, though, if you've ever thought anything I do is any good at all, I hope you'll read this book I poured everything into: geni.us/broughttoyouby

No industry should receive a blanket exemption from accountability under the law. I'm urging Congress to reject Big Oil's immunity proposal and stand with states, taxpayers, and the rule of law — not special protections for powerful corporations.

New paper in @diabetologiajnl.bsky.social on paracrine control of insulin secretion, led by the talented newly minted Dr. Ryan Hart (@ryanhart13.bsky.social). 1/5 doi.org/10.1007/s001...

Very proud to graduate the next group of supremely talented young Doctors from my UC Davis lab!! Dr. Mohammad Pourhosseinzadeh, Dr. Michelle Chan, and Dr. Ryan Hart. They each have published creative and impactful stories - much of it coming out soon. Stay tuned!! @ucdavis.bsky.social

The ADA CEO issues an apology on twitter (receiving 3 likes from 28k followers) for completely mishandling events at recent ADA meeting where @sekahn.bsky.social was ejected, it's bluesky account has 0 posts. Post the apology on bluesky @amdiabetesassn.bsky.social , that's where you audience is!!

The ADA apologizes and says it is committed to biomedical research. I expect them and other non-profits to no longer hide behind 501(c)(3) status and to speak out vociferously in public about the destruction being wreaked upon US research, not just NIH. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7K2...

Another June, another crop of fantastic @ucdavis.bsky.social students who got leave their hand prints on the wall to celebrate their graduation from the Huising Lab. Congratulations to Hana, Nick, Ryan, Jacob, Frankie and visiting graduate student Jon!!

This just out in Diabetes Care. The need to highlight the destructive plans of the administration continues. Everyone needs to post comments to the OMB website. Relevant links in the article. Don’t delay!! diabetesjournals.org/care/article...

ADA sent a survey to ask how they could do better... Not censoring scientists would be a start. ADA President Elect and Scientific Sessions Chair (who I know and respect tremendously) did the right thing and resigned today. More coming. CEO Henderson next? www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Yooooo remember a couple years ago when those three LA city council members were caught on tape saying a ton of insanely racist stuff and conspiring to gerrymander another council member’s district? That other council member was Nithya Raman. The voting bloc they were trying to split? Renters.

Lol. All that discourse, for naught!

Not just a critique, an editorial that was published in the ADA's own flagship journal Diabetes Care. The experts included several past ADA Presidents and Award winners. Page views before the ADA publicized the editorial <300, approaching 10k now. Link below, let's help the ADA get the word out.

My sister used to work in the supermarket that is currently in the old Korenbeurs (grain exchange) building with the tall columns, long after they banned cars on the vis markt (fish market).

My friends and colleagues were thrown out of the ADA meeting by the ADA for handing out copies of an editorial published in the ADA's own journal. We're talking 2 past ADA presidents and distinguished awardees including the 2025 Banting Award recipient. ADA needs to reverse course and apologize.

I just learned that OMB is required to respond to every comment on the anti-peer-review rule. So that means our comments really matter, at the very least by gumming up the gears. Send your comment today.

ALRIGHT EVERYONE HERE IS THE OFFICIAL SUFS GUIDE TO LEAVING PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE OMB-2026-0034 PROPOSED RULE: www.standupforscience.foundation/policy-and-advocacy/the-sufs-guide-to-writing-public-comments (share with all your friends!)

Watch this #brave kid tell off city councillors and fiercely demand #safe streets, all with grace, #humility, and respect. When was the last time you did something like this? More power to #children holding adults #accountable! Inspired by Tom Flood Credits: @huisinglab.bsky.social

My summary of OMB's proposed Federal Financial Assistance rule was based on 22 years as an NIH Program Official and the damage I saw to science funding would be. I want to widen the lens now: scientists are not the only ones who should be alarmed. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/this-new-o...

Do you want to spend your Saturday reading 3,700 words about my surprising personal journey to voting for Tom Steyer for governor? Well my friend today is your lucky day: www.findinggravity.net/tom-steyer-f...

If these proposed changes are enacted, it would destroy the independence of the US scientific enterprise. Public comment period is NOW!! Federal Register, May 29, 2026 | Docket OMB-2026-0034 | Comment Deadline: ~July 13, 2026 www.federalregister.gov/public-inspe...

I know there is a lot going on, and not all of this is new, but numerous aspects of this OMB proposal are highly alarming and would, if enacted, effectively force American scientists receiving federal funding (which is...most of them in some capacity or another) to stop engaging with the public.

The state of the California governor’s race:

BREAKING: New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion". #standupforscience public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf

For Governor, @tomsteyerhq.bsky.social wants to unwind California from the stranglehold of the car and oil lobbies. He is a progressive who wants to deliver more housing and better mobility options across the State

NIH funded peeps: This is insane and coming for us.

California's biggest programs for affordable housing and public are on the chopping block this week. We need Governor Newsom and the legislature to step in and stop this ASAP. Come out Wednesday to help make sure they get the message actionnetwork.org/events/emerg...

The Trump administration is actively opposing global climate accountability while continuing to deny established climate science. We’re standing up against the pseudoscience and political attacks that hurt our health and future. Help fuel our fight for science here: zurl.co/fG6gr zurl.co/lmEeF

This is an insane story, what are we doing here California? If you want to reduce forest fire risk, phase out fossil fuels, don't douse the forest with Roundup so that nothing grows back.

I work in the largest academic HVAC research lab in the US. Tons of my prof and grad student colleagues have worked for years to characterize low-GWP refrigerants and adapt equipment to use them. In collaboration with most major manufacturers. That train is moving, fast. Trump lackeys won't stop it.

Biked my second grader to her field trip at the @ucdavis.bsky.social raptor center. Couple of miles mostly on protected bike lanes and along Putah Creek. Saw red-tailed hawk, turkey vulture, some hare and a frog being chased down by a hungry bird. Her classmates were driven and saw none of this...

Renewables are unstoppable. BNEF's New Energy Outlook for this year says solar is set to be the biggest source of electricity in 2032 and wind will be second biggest in 2034. Both coal and gas displaced from those thrones. This is the business-as-usual scenario. 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
