Happy gotcha day to this little scraggly muffin!!! Wrigley has brought us so much joy and laughter these last 2 years! Every the fuzzy blanket in the house is hers. Thanks to @doggoneseattle.bsky.social and especially @nedpyle.com for sharing pics of his little foster pup 2 years ago🐶🥺

Let’s go IU

If you know someone who has list SNAP benefits, encourage them to see if they qualify for Meals on Wheels. I have a disabled patient who was able to qualify, and she not only gets some meals, they also help with some pet food for her service dog.

The first two episodes of the revival of Reading Rainbow have nearly 500,000 views each 🤯 Do you know how cool that is for literacy, for book joy?! We are all worthy of reading, we are all readers 💚 And NOW episode three is out! Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋 youtu.be/e4VIV48ZB0M?feature=shared

Let’s gooooooo!

This is the most excellent local headline writing. "DID YOU GIVE WATER TO A BAT NEAR THE ARBORETUM? IT HAD RABIES." (this is explicitly for @andreagrimes.com )

Always grateful for the wonderful care providers @seattlechildrens.org and thankful that we live so close!

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Ah yes. We should definitely do what Nate Silver suggests. That is clearly the way forward. /s

The Recruit. Season 1 was better than Season 2 but still a fun show.

Jfc what are we doing…

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:

Omfg the news is such garbage today including the Cubs. But, I have been giggling about this for a while now.

I, for one, welcome our new overlords. Maybe they can do something about the traffic lately.

12yo and I were discussing her summer reading and realized she chose to read a “banned book”. So we decided to share Seattle Public Library program so everyone young person can read banned books. www.spl.org/programs-and...

I know there are bigger things to worry about in the world right now but IT IS NOT HALLOWEEN TIME yet.

We are doing this to ourselves. There is no reason the National Cancer Institute should have a 4% payline. Nor should any of the other institutes. This will lead to generational destruction of research infrastructure and talent.

But the real question is, were his hoes in different area codes? Hoping we get clarification soon.

As a cashier at a book store in the DC area, I (not a baseball person) asked customer buying a baseball book “if they were into baseball because Barry Bonds was about to do something big”. Friends it was ESPN, WaPo and PTI’s own Michael Wilbon. He politely said that he did like baseball.

I looked at an office manager position today (just in case) figuring my lab manager experience could translate.

Flybase lost all of the NIH support overnight - it is a disaster for the community. Please consider donating. I just did! www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

Phage people: Rich Losick and I are combing the world looking for T4 rIIB mutant FC0 (also known as P13). FC0 was the starting point for Francis Crick's beautiful 1961 paper on the triplet nature of the genetic code. We want to sequence it. Anyone have it in an ancient stock collection?

Makary and Prasad have a sounding board piece written in NEJM about the future of COVID-19 vaccine regulation at the FDA. Some thoughts:

It’s like he is stuck in 90s/00s Nicholas Cage movies. First National Treasure and now The Rock. We’ve got Face Off and Con Air left…

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Oh who needs a 401(k) or 529 plan for kids college tuition we have Social Security and…uhhh FAFSA student loans…and uhhh ah crap

OMG. I was wondering that as the tariff numbers made no sense, but this is even dumber than I thought. I mean, this is "fail your econ 101 class and have to go meet with the professor" bad.

I love this story so much! @gramnegativity.bsky.social is an amazing microbial geneticist, teacher and cloning master (among other things). 🥳

@booker.senate.gov dismantles a Confederate monument.

It’s so weird how we’re all just working like this is still a normal country.

So not only did Trump's natsec team accidentally include The Atlantic's Jeff Goldberg in a Signal conversation about strikes on Houthis, they also used that same non-governmental platform to coordinate staffing among departments and the White House! Insane. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

It’s time. There is only one Democrat prepared for the current moment

First we had to boycott DOGEer Big Ballz’ dad’s popcorn company and now pirates booty guy is bonkers, Will we have any snack foods left?

@johnlegend.bsky.social could use an assist lol

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Dear all, Because of your help shining light on this all 15 were reinstated today. This is a huge win for science - When We Fight We Win!!!

More senior folks should absolutely be reviewing more grants and manuscripts right now. And if we have resources to share for equipment, personnel, even funding that we can help our junior colleagues with, we need to be doing this. Especially now as the entire science ecosystem is threatened.

Honestly I don’t care one little bit if McConnell feels free. I care about freedom for people in this country, not whether after all the damage this man has caused if he feels “liberated” ffs

Does he understand anything about Americans? Sure fire way to get more of us to protest is by telling us we CAN’T or shouldn’t. 💪

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org
