Weird that we all showed up to work on INTERNATIONAL CLASH DAY

This is a good move but those of us who struggled through this on time deserve a fancy badge ribbon at the next conference where badge ribbons are a thing

It is unspeakably awful

Humans are actually unable to whistle. All human whistling is fake.

Ranking the rebuilt LGA at #49 is an outrage. It's easily top 5 now. MSN is also underrated at #39, it's definitely top 10. wapo.st/4oUSaHc

Post your last photo of DC to show what a hellhole it is (Looking down on the carnage)

3. The POs for NIGMS and NIA have been phenomenal (as well as NIBIB, which is an aspiration for us). They have been very calm and reassuring, even as I know that their individual lives are very challenging. We are very lucky to have these staff and should be fighting for them whenever possible. 4/n

As a member of @model-ad.bsky.social it pains me to acknowledge that @niagads.bsky.social won the #AAIC25 swag battle. Well played!

My commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion remains and I hope many will continue to follow regardless of the times

Ok Teams is a disaster but honestly I really like the new Factor 1/Factor 2 review rubric. Much cleaner discussions, more focused on the science and outcomes, and clear boundaries for the SRO/chair to enforce.

The way NIH's Teams meetings sporadically mute audio between random pairs of participants is a marvel of government efficiency. Bravo on the move away from a reliable videoconf platform, a decision I'm sure was made after consulting with the affected CSR staff.

Anyone know the appropriate ceremony for the death of a spider that has been living in your sink for the past six weeks? RIP, you

I was just sent this picture of me explaining something to one of the staffers of Representative Suzanne Bonamici (Oregon's 1st congressional district). The thing that impressed me about these congressional staffers is how smart and dedicated they are. I wish we could remove partisan politics.

I taught these cows how to change a flat bike tire. They were very polite.

Punishing the recipients of these awards is of course the intention, and it sucks. What is maybe not so obvious is how damaging this will be to the scientific enterprise.
