It’s even better than the old location at the Palace of Fine Arts. It’s more accessible to mass transit, has outdoor as well as indoor exhibits, and more room to grow. It’s a must see for young and old, and it’s engaging enough to turn science-phobics into science-philics.

Interesting article about stimulant replacement therapy, similar to medications for opioid use disorders. Prescribing ADHD meds is one option and has been successful in Canada. #harmreduction #addiction #stimulants www.talkingdrugs.org/stimulant-re...

My story for @medscape.com looks at the rise in stimulant-only use and associated increase in OD deaths from methamphetamine and cocaine alone. #Psychsky #addiction #opioids #publichealth #epidemiology #substanceuse #harmreduction

@brian-goldstone.bsky.social the praise for this book in the front pages has me excited. Hope you get a chance to stop through LA and speak.

So LA mayor primary is 3 months away. Is Raman gonna be able to pass Spencer Pratt and take Bass on in runoff? ktla.com/news/politic...

NEW: Hundreds of mental health professionals have left the Department of Veterans Affairs since President Donald Trump took office, leaving staff “at a breaking point” and some veterans waiting as long as six months for help.

I am sorry to all my co-workers who I pestered but I promise it's important.

Get glasses if you are on medi-cal and think you can't afford it. There's also some dental benefits AFAIK.

I'm in the middle of my umpteenth re-read of Caliban's War (book 2 of The Expanse) and it occurs to me that the world could really use a Chrisjen Avasarala right about now.

Only way to do both is poorly.

NIH employees were already worried that things weren't getting done under Jay Bhattacharya. Now that he's also the acting director of the CDC, they're worried even more about his fractured attention. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It is sad yet unsurprising that the only science the Trump administration believes in is using AI to drop bombs in brown people.

At least we're done talking about the Epstein files.

Plant powered fast food won best vegnews fast food, and they gave a free hamburger. Hella busy.

Why is it so windy in LA this week?

There is nothing more unserious than US drug policy

This was predictable, and we did predict it last summer when the multiyear funding policy first emerged. This is how we know this admin is coming after science as a whole. Health equity, transgender health, mRNA vaccines… these areas are just the start.

Free, open-source software is a labor of love that people give up a lot to do. You basically never have a valid reason to get mad at such folks; if their work is load-bearing you should pay them!

Thank you, Ripley. That’s enormously helpful.

10-15 minute walk to the new metro station, perfect.

NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses. But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n Disclaimer: all views are my own.

Hey someone read my message. I told them to get the chatgpt and Claude logs from Pete.

I am not looking forward to more necessary layoff conversations with world class UCLA researchers. They do not deserve this.

@akalamusic.bsky.social thank you for all you've put out.

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it" Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest
