I feel like the right wing Christian homeschoolers get all the attention, but if you want to know the reason our lefty homeschooler group had two 4-H clubs, it's cause there was an Official Difference of Opinion re: appropriateness of Rocky Horror for drama club.

Got my 2nd solid yawning grebeling shot of my life today. Oddly, both were in green water in lakes that only had vegetation at the edges. I like the first one more, but todays is a sharper shot. Probably taken a solid 50 feet closer. 🪶 🐣

“Erin Maus secured something of a miracle from her employer: a religious exemption. Maus, a Unitarian Universalist, said she proposed the special treatment in April, citing environmental & ethical objections to AI that don't align with her religious beliefs.” www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

Reminds that 10yrs ago I met with a “colleague” to get some help setting up some ephys experiments and he basically said, “naw, I can’t see how cilia are important to neurons. Oh, but I might want some mice from you…”

fervible should be a word.

This is a needlessly cynical take. Only 50% of antibodies are trash www.science.org/content/blog...

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

Since I use Vanguard, I'm *technically* a Vanguard owner. Since one of Vanguard's biggest cash expenses goes to S&P for their "brand name" index, I initially saw them as a rent seeking middleman. But I take that back. Also, history on S&P is awesome: rationalreminder.ca/podcast/54

The Audacity of being so utterly correct. I will never know such correctness.

Customs really needs to set up a hotline for molecular biologists to ask how to ship whatever sample completely correctly. HOT take, but ICE should fire all those goons and hire one or two PhDs who are willing to be the Professional Paranoids that keep screwworm OUT and allow diagnostic tools IN.

Hot take: LinkedIn is now the best social media because it obviously doesn’t know me well enough to be creepy and I’d actually rather get ads for stem cells than dog perfume

it's summer, and time to go to the pool. our post next monday will be about bacteria that swim the backstroke. stay tuned... #MicroSky

Robert Merton warned us. "Particularly in times of international conflict, when the dominant definition of the situation is such as to emphasize national loyalties, the man of science is subjected to conflicting imperatives of scientific universalism and ethnocentric particularism."

Long Covid research takes some major steps forward:

1/ New World Screwworm has been confirmed in the U.S. for the first time since 1966. A 3-week-old calf in La Pryor, Texas (near the U.S.-Mexico border) tested positive. This may seem niche, but it’s a big deal. Here's what you need to know. 🧵

This was a groundbreaking piece of work. A work so good it means a life well spent. Millions of people understand Iran, the diaspora and the weird bittersweet details of the immigrant experience through the work she did.

Broke- abolish ICE Woke- remove their powers of incarceration and ask them to go back customs enforcement working with USDA to fight screwworm

You know who isn't getting radicalized? Guys who do ships in a bottle. Embrace model-building and avoid the pitfalls of right-wing extremism

Dear computationally focused grad students, I realize that showing your algorithm actually does predict the thing in the lab you want it to predict necessarily comes near the end of your dissertation, but emailing me in June you want an experiment done before you defend in September is...

In Han dynasty mythology, the Zouyu, 騶虞, also called Zouwu, is the rare image of power without cruelty. It bears a tiger’s body, a lion-like head, white fur marked with black stripes, and a long sweeping tail, noble, swift, and serene. Unlike most mythical beasts,1/3 #mythology

What happens to the neuron after it gets rid of the damaged mitochondria? Can it swap in healthy mitochondrial from the microglia? Do its remaining mitochondria replicate faster? Do newer mitochondria have different vulnerability to the alpha synuclein?
