The full 28-minute Jimmy Kimmel monologue. Please share.

Honestly, I’d rather they blamed acetaminophen (Tylenol, Paracetamol) than vaccines. Although it’s almost certainly wrong.

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

An international research team, including the @schurlab.bsky.social at ISTA and partners from the University of Grenoble Alpes, KAIST, @sorbonne-universite.fr, Hanyang University, and EPFL, just released a new paper in Science Advances.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

With Jon Lorsch's transfer from NIGMS to the Office of the Director and the announced (internally) departure of another institute director effective at the end of November, more than half of the 27 institute and center director positions at NIH will soon be held by people in "acting" capacities.

“This can’t be interpreted…as anything else but an attack directly on trans kids.” In my first byline for @teenvogue.com, I spoke with trans students, with Texas teachers, and those who support them about this troubling law that's singling out trans, enby and gender nonconforming young folks:

@kitoconnell.com at @teenvogue.com publish the best article on trans teens I’ve seen. They talk to the kids and not the bigots in the Texas legislature. It’s heartbreaking and worth the read. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

ASBMB member @sciencewhizliz.bsky.social & @faseborg.bsky.social President Eric Kelly attended the Rally for Medical Research today to urge policymakers to increase funding for NIH! Interested in taking action? Contact your lawmakers: ow.ly/34ET50WZ70i. #ScienceServesUsAll #RallyMedRes

NEW: Per multiple sources, NIH staff have been told that "DOJ has advised" that they "should NOT" attend the American Public Health Association annual meeting, which is taking place in far-off, uh, Washington DC November 2-5.

Yes!

It pleases me quite a lot that Ipsae also turns out to be a Korean Manhwa character (like Japanese manga), who is gay and establishing a relationship with Haneum.

And it is worth mentioning that this preprint showed that AF3 ipSAE was found to be the best predictor for experimental success for de novo designed binders: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

pip install ipsae from www.linkedin.com/in/ullah-sam... www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5ph... PyPI pypi.org/project/ipsae/ His github fork github.com/ullahsamee/I... My github github.com/DunbrackLab/... Paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... For designed protein binders www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

So for posting science now: LinkedIn >> Bluesky >>>> X.

Now I am being silenced by the Washington Post for -- *checks notes* Lamenting America's acceptance of apathy towards political violence and gun deaths-- especially when the violence is encouraged and carried out by white men.

Go Birds!

Someone followed the Notional Guard around DC playing the Imperial March from Star Wars.

Elon, fresh off attempting to incite race riots in England is now trying to incite pogroms against trans people.

Only the Guardian seems to be reporting where the shirt came from so far. Which is weird. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

The FBI can't even make a website work. The tip line webpage, tips.fbi.gov/digitalmedia... just crashes if you fill it out & hit Submit. Probably like a lot of other people, I was able to quickly find the t-shirt the guy was wearing, It comes from the Disabled Veterans National Foundation (DVNF).

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

No other marginalized person, let alone a child, would be expected to defend their existence nor would attempts to segregate them be portrayed by the news as "criticism". www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

So... I did some analysis of grants that did receive noncompetitive renewals. In particular, I looked a those award where the title of the grant changed. Warning: The results are just what I expected, but oooph... 1/4

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

When I was in college, Prof Robert Nozick taught in a philosophy class I was taking that homosexuals could not be happy because they didn’t experience the “complementarity” of male-female relationships. I did not report him to the Dean. (Although I was astonished at the ignorance of gay people).

📌Trump, a fascist, women-abusing convicted felon, and probable pedophile is supporting the women-abusing Andrew Cuomo in New York City. 📌The Leadership of the Democratic Party like Hakeem Jeffries refuse to endorse the front-running new-deal candidate, Zohran Mamdani. 📌This is beyond disgraceful.

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

The GRFP lives!! (due end of October) www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

When I was in the Army, we had a term for a soldier whom everyone else despised. We called them "That Guy." That Guy could be any rank: private, sergeant, lieutenant, colonel. (thread)

the haters and bigots will be furious to learn we attended drag queen story hour at children’s fairyland in oakland this afternoon and saw a beautiful drag performance to “rainbow connection”

Kudos to the Philly Inquirer for actually centering the voices of trans youth and their families. "It's not about protecting the kids. It's about taking away the rights of people who you don't want to exist." share.inquirer.com/TE1hNg

I hate the New York Times. @nytimes.com

I am so lucky to count with the amazing #oneandonly @rolanddunbrack.bsky.social as my colleague and thrilled to count him as my dear friend!!! #congratulations!!!

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

Also really happy @asbmb.bsky.social highlighted a small award I got from Temple School of Medicine for work in LGBTQ+ representation in science. Sometimes young queer scientists don’t see anyone like them. This award shows them some of us have been around a long time and accomplished a few things.

Honored to receive the 2026 DeLano Award from @asbmb.bsky.social. Warren wrote PyMOL which I spend several hours a day with -- a hero for open & accessible software. Helen Berman, another of my heroes, nominated me (with help from Ruth Nussinov & Janet Thornton), three women I admire tremendously.

Inhibition of Mantle Cell Lymphomas by the beta 2-Adrenergic Agonist, Levalbuterol, in Hollow Fiber Assay in Mice https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.01.673249v1

In 2019, we published a clustering & nomenclature of beta turns in proteins & found 18 unique types. The code was in python2. I've just rewritten it in python3, because it might still be useful to people. The paper & code: journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... github.com/DunbrackLab/...

Quick question for the #TransInSTEM community. I'm talking to a colleague about organizing a network specifically to connect trans folks working in STEM (grad students, postdocs, faculty, and other professional researchers in the public & private sector) for solidarity and mutual support.

@nytimes.com still trying to rationalize Trump which is a fool’s errand. They still don’t get it.

Dr. Daskalakis has a résumé for the ages: NYU med school, Harvard residency, fellowship, *and* MPH, double board certified, and over a decade of boots on the ground experience in epidemic-fighting. He used his identity to build trust in public health. He's exactly who you want in government. ffs
