Hantavirus with RFK, Jr. in charge will be biblical levels of plague.

Rudy Giuliani is in ‘critical condition’ in a Florida hospital. I hope he gets the level of care he deserves.

It’s not goodbye, but see you later. 😭🥰🦷

This is what NativeBio is trying to fight. DNA is a business, estimated to be worh $172 billion/year by 2035. We live in a glut of information, including disinformation. The Genomics field already has a history of racism, power dynamics, data theft, surgical/chemical sterilization and murder.

Academics should really start thinking about whether it makes sense to continue operating in states where a girl can turn in a physics paper that just says, “Jesus never talked about atoms,” and you’ll be fired for giving her an appropriate grade.

Got an invite to review a manuscript yesterday (a U.S. holiday) and snarky email today that said invite is revoked because I hadn’t responded. 🫠🙄
