The president is now singling out congressional staffers, posting their photos, and demanding their firings

Finally

Georgia's governor signs a comically transparent law. It makes local elections in 5 big blue counties nonpartisan, to give GOP candidates a chance to win without a party label in places like Atlanta. And it doesn't change anything in the rest of the state, for red counties to know who's GOP.

this is absolutely BONKERS behavior from the director of the FBI. it's a disgrace to his position and the entire US government.

Hey everybody RT this, please? While mural making I haven't had time to fundraise (it would be so cool if there were 2 of me). I wanna do some cool projects this fall so I gotta sell some shirts.

Please re-circulate. New postdoc position available to study organ positioning in the flower at the University of Sydney. Cell polarity, auxin etc etc! Join our multidisciplinary RESYDE (www2.hu-berlin.de/resyde/) team! Apply here: usyd.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/USYD_E...

classy stuff from the president

this is not my ideal way of seeing my lab published in Science magazine, but, here we are. Roger is well known as a devoted life-long plant scientist, but he is also an incredible human being who shows constant kindness and encouragement to everyone around him. this is simply not fair.

Amazing science and the second best GRC site

More details on the firing of the National Science Board. The NSF now has no director, deputy director, or board. They have issued almost no new awards in 2026. The plan appears to be to completely destroyed the agency. The details are horrifying and have Russ Vought written all over them.

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR. We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets. Thread + link below.

BREAKING: Trump has apparently fired the National Science Board (NSB).

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

Here, I made this for my newsletter a few months back. Feel free to share with any Cabinet members you know.

BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research? RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant

The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.

Do I know anyone (or do YOU know anyone) who was RIF'd from the NSF SBE Directorate?

Big shoutout to Kelty this week. They’re donating 5% of every purchase to the Conservation Alliance in support of saving the US Forest Service. Kelty is one of the four companies that actually founded the Conservation Alliance back in 1989, alongside Patagonia, REI, and The North Face.

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

Join us in Heidelberg for your PhD! If you are excited about CRISPR genome engineering and would like to develop and apply new methods to investigate Wnt signaling in different model systems, than this project is for you. More info here: my-hbigs.uni-heidelberg.de/site/index.p... 🧪🧬🔬

First “all our own” Barber lab data paper up on BioRxiv!

Lieu: "Undocumented immigrants want nothing to do with the govt! To vote, you have to first register. How many undocumented immigrants are gonna go, 'Yes, I'm gonna give all my information to the govt that's maybe trying to deport me. No way!' This is a problem that doesn't exist."

Wow. I thought it was bad, but...😱

Officer David Rose, 33, a former Marine and DeKalb County officer, has been added to CDC’s memorial plaque, honoring those who gave their lives in service of public health. He died protecting our CDC campus, staff, and contractors during a 2025 act of domestic terrorism fueled by misinformation.
