Wordpress and Bluesky don't work super well together yet. The post below was supposed to have an image of our house! ruthkrishnan.com/property-lis...

We are selling our house in San Francisco The front of our house in San Francisco. After having lived in San Francisco for 9 years (and in the US for 15), we decided to move back to Europe and landed in France. More about that in a future post! For now, I wanted to share that our wonderful house…

Hi everyone, we are selling our house. It's a great place for a family in San Francisco. I feel sad about leaving the house and the neighborhood but hope that another family of people and/or pets will make it their home! Please share!

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Just cancelled #disney - kids are sad because we loose Bluey #kimmel

The cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel is truly awful and yet another clear sign of the end of democracy in the US.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

I also looked up Nowak in the Epstein book. He lists himself with "Epstein Institute, Harvard" as his affiliation. (No Epstein institute exists). Epstein donated millions to Nowak over the years which funded Nowak's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics.

Such pretty mini-videos and cool science too!

Some things are getting better. Bullying in schools in the US on the basis of sex, race and disability has gone down a lot from 2011-2021. All that "woke" and DEI stuff, it helps! #usafacts usafacts.org/articles/how...

Cool data science paper on drug resistance evolution!

Amazing new work and video from Pleuni!

This is so good Pleuni! I’m going to save it as a science communication example where communication aimed at the public is also better for scientists (I just learned a lot), and share with this year’s ramp cohort!

I have been a fan of @pleunipennings.bsky.social's videos for years and am so stoked to see a new one! Such a clear communication with the bonus of an optimistic message

I made a video about my new paper. I hope you enjoy it! vimeo.com/1113132836?s...

A new paper and video about levels of drug resistance in different countries I am so happy to share a new paper and a new video (see below). The paper describes a simple mathematical model that describes levels of drug resistance. I called the model the Resistance-Acquisition-Purifying-Selection…

Microsoft employees protest www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

@kgandersen.bsky.social is right on target. We have to be clear eyed about what we’re dealing with even as the media keeps talking about all this as negotiations, deals, settlements. This is authoritarian extortion.

Germany taking action gives me a little bit of hope. Maybe the EU follows? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Today I received notice that my appointment to the Advisory Committee to the Director of the CDC--a committee whose existence is mandated by Congress--has been terminated.

"Many talented scientists, disillusioned by constant financial insecurity, leave academia altogether, resulting in a significant brain drain that deprives the field of diverse perspectives and innovation." @drcraigmc.bsky.social‬ nails why I'm no longer a working scientist: doi.org/10.1371/jour...

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

This looks awesome
