I have come to believe this as well. The list is too strange. I don’t think a majority wanted to cave, but many more than the 8.

Reading this, it truly resonates how fortunate we were that Jim Watson never took an interest in social media.

Socioeconomic roots of academic faculty Tenure-track faculty are up to 25 times more likely to have a parent with a Ph.D. Moreover, this rate nearly doubles at prestigious universities and is stable across the past 50 years. #AcademicSky

Ahhh. Haaavahd.

As I sit during a break in my conference at Harvard Medical School, this news really fucking sucks😞

Shared mechanisms across distinct biological clocks: Jordan Ward @gotworms.bsky.social , Helge Grosshans @labgrosshans.bsky.social & collaborators find the nematode homologs of mammalian circadian clock proteins PERIOD & CK1 to control developmental timing in worms www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Carrots, in an intimate moment.

Disappointing carrot harvest.

My fellow citizens of Laramie did a fine job today. Special shout out to the LPD for protecting citizens and upholding the law.

Willow Creek, CO. These colors go on for 20 miles.

It’s non-decorative squash season…

I think I probably set the record for least inspirational inspiration talk yesterday, and that’s saying something. #PILife

Who among us is willing to admit that they’ve looked up reviews for pill cutters? 🙋‍♂️

I wonder which classes they can skip and still get high grades? All I know is that at humble Wyoming, if students routinely skipped my genetics class they were destined to fail. Harvard Students Skip Class and Still Get High Grades, Faculty Say www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

Look who I ran into just walking outside the lab this morning!

Tough times call for extraordinary flowers.

About 1/3 of our plum harvest. We beat the raccoons!

After 10 years of work, a complete telomere-to-telomere gap-free genome for C. elegans finally exists: it has 106 Mb rather than the textbook 100.3 Mb, and up to 366 additional genes. genome.cshlp.org/content/35/8...

Can we just agree that the word “ideation” is terrible and that no self respecting person would ever use it, except maybe in jest?

The polio immunisation program started in the USA in 1955. Look what happened next.

I love our state’s community colleges. The facilities and instruction can be top notch and the education is incredibly affordable. And through our statewide NIH INBRE program, students have an opportunity to carry out legit research and to see what science is like close up!
