How to keep in step when your (protein) partner speeds up… Here we investigated the adaptive remodeling of a protein-protein interaction surface essential for telomere protection. Congrats to whole team! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our son was born at a Northwestern hospital and sees a NU-affiliated pediatrician and it is really frustrating to know that he or any number of kids we know will be denied by this system care that otherwise would be provided under medical ethics but diverges from political ideology of those in power

Reading the deposition he gave in Chicago you can understand why it is that Judge Ellis tore into him. The first substantive question is "What is your role in Operation Midway Blitz?" Bovino essentially gives his title and no further details. 8 pages later, the lawyer gives up.

"Student ‘heartbroken’ after being sent to Honduras while trying to travel from Boston to Texas, attorney says"

i’d push back on this a little — from the start, the MAHA pitch ended with buying the wellness scams and supplements its leaders directly sold (or profited from via affiliate marketing). they haven’t really hidden it

Happy to see new newest member of the #geocompx family up on the geocompx.org website: Spatial Data Visualization with tmap is an awesome book that is still in progress 🏗️ Well worth a read to launch your reproducible map making journey 🚀

The building was wrapped in construction materials; the fire alarms weren't working; many residents boarded their windows to block out construction noise/dust. If they escaped, it was because friends saw the blaze on the news and called/texted.

This touches on a few of the biggest sources of low morale for me: - flood of AI slop lands in my inbox as peer review requests - my critical reviews of said AI slop are then ignored by editors at Journals that won't give my work consideration - all while I'm expected to ⬆️ research output

The Indian Health Service has placed new restrictions on how staff can speak publicly about vaccines, flagging words like “immunizations” and “vaccines,” according to internal emails reviewed by ProPublica. By @maryhudetz.bsky.social

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

Incredibly funny how much political discussion is driven by the four things at the bottom while everyone else is getting cooked on Facebook looking at pictures of AI Eminem opening nursing homes for crying veterans

NEW: ICE’s policy of mass detaining immigrants w pending deportation proceedings has led to an avalanche of rejections in court. More than 220 judges — including 23 Trump appointees — have called it an illegal distortion of long-settled law. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Springer-Nature statement “Whilst the details of peer review are confidential, we can confirm that the article underwent two rounds of review from two independent peer reviewers, supporting an accept decision.” How am I now expected to believe that two people looked at the paper twice and DGAF?

180 members of the giving circle now cover 55% of our bare minimum weekly goal. The closer we get that to 100%, the more these families can depend on reliable help to survive genocide. Pretty amazing stuff.

An inspiring article for National Illustration Day: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign.... Most #paleoart is probably "illustration" rather than "art" (if, indeed, these are distinct categories) and is an excellent example of how images augment written/verbal communication and democratise #scicomm.

God the conclusion here is so righteous

In July, the Trump admin took the position that a 1996 law had, without anyone noticing for almost 30 years, made it so that most undocumented immigrants were not eligible to be released on bond. That position has been *overwhelmingly* rejected by federal judges; 200+ of them!

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Kurdish-German psychologist Jan Ilhan Kizilhan “told me that in Afghanistan trauma has become an inescapable legacy. ‘They experience past trauma again and again as if it is immediate…The repetition reinforces these experiences many times over, keeping them alive for numerous future generations.’”

Yet another reminder of why health insurance should not be a private, for-profit industry and we should have a single payer, publicly run system www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/b...

1/2 A special #FluorescenceFriday for me! 🌈 Live muscle precursors on a pupal fly testis (Lifeact-eGFP, 🔥-depth-coded). It's special because this is on the poster for the @sfb1348.bsky.social Meeting in May — my first time being featured as a speaker on a poster! 😀 Feeling very grateful & excited!

this is just gutter racism

After a speeding semitruck killed his son, Gary Wilburn and his wife spent decades advocating for mandated speed limiters in trucks. DOT proposed a rule to do just that. Then Trump appointees stepped in, killing the proposed regulation.

Pandora Gloss, the judges loved your can-do attitude and adaptability in the challenge — but your runway look was NOT the best of all possible worlds. I’m sorry, my dear, but you are up for elimination

POLITICO: “Israeli soldiers on Thursday appeared to kill a pair of Palestinian men in the occupied West Bank after they had surrendered to troops, drawing Palestinian accusations that the men were executed “in cold blood.”“ www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Reuters has done some really great investigative reporting on the impacts of Trump's retribution campaigns

In the long term this is what will kill what's left of America's miniscule credibility in MENA: US-backed ceasefires are when the Arab ceases and Israel continues to fire. And this is not a Trump problem, but a bipartisan problem. This "ceasefire" was achieved by the previous president.

Democrat Aftyn Behn is in striking distance of flipping a Republican House seat in Congress in a red district in Tennessee that Trump won by 22 points last year. The special election will be held December 2.

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
