One of the greatest legal minds of the 20th century and a member of the ACLU board of directors starting in 1965, Pauli Murray played a key role in turning our organization’s attention to gender inequality. We honor them this Women's History Month. https://bit.ly/3PpDEKA

Final version @nature.com of our paper describing unconventional multicellular development in a choanoflagellate inhabiting an extreme environment. A ton of new data since the first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint (which we've kept updating). A brief 🧵 (carried over from the old place)

The parasite that causes malaria exports hundreds of proteins to remodel the cells that it infects. #ASBMB2026 #ASBMB26 More on Malaria Parasite PTEX at PDB-101:

Congress must go beyond reinstating US government research spending and re-establish decentralized governance at the NIH and other agencies, says sociologist Natalie B. Aviles. go.nature.com/4bCwTNh

The current iteration of the Islamic Republic doesn’t feel the need to explain itself, persuade, or maintain a genuine connection with the public. 2/2 #Iran

A Supreme Leader without a single public speech. I don’t even know what he sounds like. That should tell you where the current system stands when it comes to caring about public perception and its societal base. 1/2 #Iran

"If there is a woman oppressed by colonialism, we cannot achieve feminism goals." Protesters in South Korea's capital, Seoul, rallied in solidarity with Palestinian and Iranian women on International Women’s Day, marching toward the US Embassy.

If there were credible allegations against a Democratic president that he had punched a 13 yr old girl in the face after she bit his penis while he was raping her, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 and calling for his arrest/execution let alone his impeachment.

🌀 We solved the structure for T. denticola periplasmic flagella! I'm very happy to finally showcase this work. A huge collaborative effort between myself, @bindusmitapaul.bsky.social, @debnathghosal.bsky.social, Jack Kim, @banfieldlab.bsky.social, Eric Reynolds and the Chris Fenno lab. 🦠 Enjoy!

What an alarmin study!

Out now! In collaboration with Leifu Chang, we uncover the molecular and structural underpinnings of CRISPR-Cas12f-like RNA-guided transcription systems! Links to the published articles: tinyurl.com/55kpavet tinyurl.com/sk6djwx3 Previous thread for the preprint: bsky.app/profile/did:...

This feature on npr was also my first time hearing about this. Extraordinary injustice in the part of the Feds and particularly Northwestern. Shame.

Sanchez: Women's rights should never be used as a pretext for launching wars that serve other interests. If we truly believe in the freedom of Iranian women, the response cannot be more violence. It must be more diplomacy, more support, and more international law.

Wonderful (and fun!) read from @mastroianni.bsky.social which finishes with a clear answer on how to solve the collective action problem of dismantling scientific publishing

This is a national embarrassment.

this will be a public health disaster. We could end the transmission of HIV this year. That has been true for a decade. That we have not done so is a public policy choice.

Israel has been continuously bombing Lebanon almost every day for over a year. Anyone who tells you “Hezbollah broke the ceasefire” is either lying to you, or is just so incredibly biased that their brain genuinely doesn’t register Israeli bombings of Lebanon as ceasefire violations.

There are so-called moderates out here who think the Armageddon fanatics are more “normal” than people who use non-genders pronouns. This is what happens when your constitution heavily skews your elections to empower the rural shitholes where these CREATURES lurk

It's a pretty funny criticism because 1) the data are sourced from a public database, NIH RePORTER 2) "Deranged activist" Jeremy Berg was an NIH institute director for 7 years and most importantly 3) Thacker admits the story is totally accurate

An infinite number of mathematicians enter a bar. The 1st orders a beer. The next says: "I'll have 1/2 of what he ordered" The next says: "I'll have 1/2 of that..." The bartender stops them, pours two beers and says: "I get it, but you need to know your limits."

Listening to the NYT Daily podcast episode about Iran when the ad read starts "this podcast is brought to you by the American Petroleum Institute"

"they were killing innocent people" yes and who is our leading partner in this war again

The United States and Israel have the right to bomb and murder whoever they please. The countries they attack have no right to fight back. This is the exact double standard on international law Mark Carney was praised for calling out at Davos, but which he continues to participate in.

You won’t catch Snyder saying the same thing about Trump (or any democrat) taking far more money than this from Israel’s lobbying proxies.

keir starmer describing hannah spencer as an 'extremist' might actually wake some, some, of the 'centrist' sensibles crowd up as to just how far over to the right starmer actually is. nobody reasonable can listen to her and think she's an extremist in any way. that really is madness from starmer.

The most liberal city in America has a Brown Muslim immigrant socialist mayor and republicans can’t even do their big bigotry because Trump likes him and he’s their cult leader 💀

If anyone here is in the NYC area, several groups are hosting a protest demanding a reversal from Langone and action from City Hall. We need to demand AG Letitia James and Mayor Mamdani step up and fight the cowardice of hospital execs.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social we need you to step up

9. Erin in the Morning has submitted numerous requests for comment to the mayor's office and NYC agencies over the course of the last week. We have received radio silence from the administration on the issue.
