I wrote about the impact of declining insect pollinators on the global food supply. 🧪🌎

Brilliant analysis from @katelynburns.com

Are you located in the DC-Baltimore-Philadelphia-New York corridor? Have you always wanted to have your very own 11 foot long papier-mâché hammerhead shark? Now available for free! Perfect for museums, community centers, or your living room! Save this lovely creature from imminent destruction!

For my first piece in @thesicktimes.org, I wrote about why mask bans matter for climate politics. thesicktimes.org/2025/11/07/a...

A little something to brighten your day.

New York! Don’t forget to vote!

Double schism!

Many food banks also accept & distribute cat and dog food. Many rescues & shelters also have food pantries. (This is also important, because many people will cut back on quality & volume of food they eat. In order to keep their pets safe at home.) ❤️

New evidence suggests sharks - and possibly other animals - scale like simple geometric shapes. But why? 🧪🌏 My latest for Quanta: www.quantamagazine.org/shark-data-s...

On a serious note, consider donating to your local food bank this week.

My partner, very seriously: the K-pop demon hunters have blood on their hands.

Here in Seattle, furloughed NOAA employees were out in the pouring rain cleaning up beaches yesterday, part of a national week of service organized by federal workers who can't do their jobs due to the shutdown. Story by @heyjohnryan.bsky.social at KUOW, our federally defunded public radio station.

If you’re writing ‘SCOOP’ and then linking to a published news article, I just need you to understand this is not, in fact, a scoop

Can we just appreciate how stunning young Ursula K Le Guin was

Trying to quantify intelligence is an inherently eugenicist exercise.

Sliwa on transportation: “I like to avoid yellow cabs. As you know I was shot in the back of a yellow cab in 1992 by the Gambinos.” You can’t beat at NYC mayoral debate.

I am once again begging you, if you see good journalism being done PLEASE share it!

after the 10th radioactive shrimp recall in 7 weeks, i decided to do some digging little did i know it would lead me to an underreported industrial accident that may have released an airborne plume of radioactive debris over swaths of indonesia www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

Getting Killed is the best Radiohead album of the decade

Hey read this @sequencermag.bsky.social piece (and the essay it links to) for some really good insight re: the supposed Tylenol and autism link.

New Rainbow Kitten Surprise album makes me want to drive around the blue ridge mountains just as the leaves are starting to turn.

Hey this is a great read.

The insurance industry is broken, especially in wildfire-prone states like California that have been hit hard by climate change. Could a community-based risk reduction model be the solution? Proud to have gotten to co-write this story for @kneedeeptimes.bsky.social with @megduff.com 🌎🧪

What if the rapture did happen, but it was like 6 people and no one noticed?

Holy shit this new Wednesday album!

This is an important point - things weren’t healthier or magically safer in the past, and we’ve known raw milk carries risks for a long time.

I’ve never been the biggest Korn fan, but I have to say watching Jonathan Davis bop around onstage in a bedazzled kilt was extremely endearing.

We knew this would come. bookriot.com/the-next-boo...

A technology that played a key part in saving millions of lives during the pandemic should be celebrated. Yet in the US, research into mRNA vaccines is being cut. While sadly not unexpected, it’s irresponsible as we argue in our editorial this week 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Finally listening to the new Sleep Token album. Feels like I’ve walked into a restaurant only to be handed an unopened Hello Fresh box.

Tattoos are great because sometimes you feel bad about your body and then you remember it has cool art on it

I often say that reporting on sex testing in sports is like reporting on a really twisted, 100 year game of wack-a-mole where we see the same things happen over and over. This is a great example. (A short thread, if you'll indulge me.)

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

Your attention: CPB winds down January 2025 Your local NPR & PBS stations survive with your contributions. If "Tiny Desk" and "Finding Your Roots" and "PBS Newshour" are important to you, They Need Your Money Now. Don't be wringing your hands about what's lost when you have the chance to save it.

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

An engineer in LA was working on an app that can LiDAR-map interior spaces. Then his house burned down. 🧪🌎

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

Find someone who looks at you the way Brad looks at Zohran.

Time for some real talk: @thexylom.com, the only Asian American-run news outlet covering science, climate, and the environment, will run out of funding in July if we don't secure $7,500 by the end of the month. I might lose my job at a time while waiting for a visa extension -- a nightmare scenario.

Wow spending time with friends irl is really nice

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Apparently 2025 of the year I get REALLY into pollinators

An update on the state of US honeybees. In my first for Science, experts have finally found a culprit for this year’s record die-offs…but it could be tough to counteract. 🧪🌏

Come for the nighthawks, stay for the term “gravy boat with a cryptic smile”

FOLKS

Love to see bicon Hank green thirsting over Jim Henson on my timeline happy pride y’all

Happy Zohran day to all who celebrate

Could things just like, stop happening for 10 minutes?
