Sharks Don’t Sink: My Journey as a Rogue Shark Scientist and Author – Green 2.0

The real way to help children with autism and neurodivergence is to FUND SCHOOLS. Fund the welfare state. Create opportunities for parents to have an education and well paying jobs. More EAs in school, more doctors. Our society is anti-child, and this is why so many children are in burnout.

This assignment for Comparative Anatomy has been a big success, so I'm sharing it here!

Some people think ChatGPT has a place writing things like news briefs, stuff written to a specific style and tone and, y'know, kinda boring. So Science did a study. ChatGPT failed. Why? It got stuff wrong. "Also, extensive editing for hyperbole was needed." www.science.org/content/blog...

I love this small museum mostly run by volunteers! It is such a wonderful resource for people interested in natural in Baltimore. Please consider supporting them!

There are two weeks to go in the fundraising campaign for the Natural History Society of Maryland's new shark science and conservation exhibit, and we have to raise about $1,400 more. Please consider chipping in to help. Thank you! www.southernfriedscience.com/help-support... #SciComm 🧪🦑🌎

For no particular reason whatsoever, I wrote a whole book about why society should stop trying to cure #ActuallyAutistic people and instead focus more on creating a better world and society for them. You can buy it here. www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Charlie Kirk and the pundits and politicians sanitizing his legacy.

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.

Expensive masters programs can truly be "predatory," and I don't use that word lightly. I've watched too many students not finish these programs due to financial burden. I try to counsel them on the finances when they apply, but young folks are too trusting to think they'll get screwed by higher ed.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

On our trip to the Middle East, @merkley.senate.gov and I saw and heard firsthand how the Netanyahu government is engaged in a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza and America is complicit. Here are just a few takeaways:

former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

Trump’s ongoing campaign against historical truth appears to have expanded. His administration has directed the removal of multiple signs and exhibits from national parks that reference the history of slavery.

BREAKING: A historic coalition of national & California labor unions led by the AAUP filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging the illegal & coercive use of civil rights laws to attack the University of California system & the rights of their members.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Well, the good news is that I will probably never receive another email that ends in "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Pref: I condemn political assassination, and I wish Kirk wasn't killed. An obvious solution to our problems is class unity. But the right has done so much fomenting of racism, sexism, transphobia, xenophobia, etc that they don't even see us as human. Kirk was a central figure in that project.

Trump's politicization of the National Guard is sowing fear and distrust in the military. That's not my opinion — it's the National Guard's own assessment, and it's a danger to our democracy. We must stand united against Trump's authoritarian power-grab.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

The 16-year-old who shot two students in a Colorado high school on the same day Charlie Kirk was killed was a virulent white supremacist and antisemite www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

The AAUP stands in full solidarity w/HBCU faculty, staff, students, admin, & alumni. We call on law enforcement & governmental authorities to treat these threats w/ the seriousness they deserve, investigate thoroughly, hold responsible parties accountable, & strengthen preventive measures on campus.

Ok, lesson learned, I will no longer deal with poison ivy in my yard without a disposable hazmat suit and a bathtub full of tecnu.

It's hard to justify enforcing my course policies (even my very lenient late/extension/revision policies) while surrounded by the National Guard and ICE and while threats are being called into several HBCUs and the DNC DC headquarters. We're all just tired.

They're just practicing politics like Charlie did. The right way...

Y’all!!! Our comparative anatomy textbook is out!!! Free, open access, and just in time for the fall semester!

Dear Students, If you want to review the structures of the heart before your anatomy lab, skip the Google AI slop and just look at the many labeled images and instructional videos that already exist, including my annotated photos on Fig Share (CC license, free to use) figshare.com/articles/fig...

This is the kind of person who is running the show on Elon Musk's Twitter. Yes, everyone should leave. But more than that: these voices are reaching tens of millions of people every day. They are causing a massive surge in open support for the mass murder and persecution of all social minorities.

HEY GOOGLE, ANATOMY HELP Why is there no radius on the sheep, GOOGLE? WHY DOES THE SHEEP SKULL HAVE EARS, GOOGLE? THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT THE LEFT VENTRICLE, GOOGLE, THE EASIEST STRUCTURE TO ID ON A HEART, GOOGLE I'm in hell www.reddit.com/user/google/...

I didn't believe it until I heard myself. Full quote is, after one host says mentally ill people should be in jail, "or involuntary lethal injection or something, just kill them." This is what our culture has become - a culture of death. Living under fascism means the masks are fully coming off.

For those who doubted where this was headed, this is what dictatorship looks like — declaring war against an American city. It is not a joke. We must all stand against this lawless regime.

We're learning new details of Trump's corrupt bargain with Bukele to detain people in the US and ship them to El Salvador—without due process—at US taxpayer expense. This is why @kaine.senate.gov & I forced a vote to hold them accountable for this illegal scheme. Rs blocked it—but we won’t give up.

I teach ocean conservation policy. I don't know if it's possible to teach ocean conservation policy without commenting on colonial science/parachute science practices or indigenous rights or environmental justice, but it's not possible to teach it well.

What should you do when you’re stopped by the police? DC’s young people break down your rights when interacting with law enforcement. Remember — knowing your rights is a great first step, asserting them is even better. Learn more from @freedcproject.bsky.social: freedcproject.org/rights
