Here's a weird inconsistency. College students are using AI more and more to do their work, but at the same time are booing when commencement speakers talk about how AI is the future. How do these fit together?

Sen. Ossoff: "These attacks on the NIH and cancer research cost lives."

Cool, so NSF is now going to be used to essentially launder money to tech bros because universities are just too cumbersome and disciplinary oversight and regulations and accountability are all just too stifling for innovation. $1.5B for “X-Labs.”

I'm excited that my new single Come Back Home is out today. This song is a return to a raw, stripped-back sound. It’s a mid-tempo meditation on the quiet emptiness found in familiar spaces after loss. open.spotify.com/album/4YlLuE...

It's cool that our song The Attic has been added to the Sad Chill Songs That Heal playlist on Spotify. Not sure why we keep writing sad chill songs... 🙂 open.spotify.com/playlist/1oJ...

GET IN, DORKS! It's a watershed moment and we need YOUR HELP. 1/x @standupforscience.net was asked by independent members of the National Academies to support their letter to Congress calling for the reinstatement of the National Science Board. #saveNSB 🔗 www.standupforscience.net/nasem-letter...

This test is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). It is a test for mild cognitive impairment due to early Alzheimer’s or aging-related dementia. It is NOT an IQ test. The fact that Trump keeps misunderstanding this is reason for concern and for retesting.

Here’s an idea for “improving science” - don’t appear on panels with anti-science ideologues like Jay Bhattacharya and Emily Oster.

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

My band is called Aces 38, and I often use an ace of spades as a logo. Got this today at brunch to mark my table... seems auspicious.

you know things are really messed up when it's impossible to tell April Fools jokes from reality

We're really happy that our latest single "Yesterday's Velvet Echo" is just out today on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube music. It's a dreamy indie pop tune featuring the luscious vocals of Lemonhead. #newmusicThursday open.spotify.com/album/1gCMtw...

Maybe it's time to bring back the peace sign.

Breast cancer mortality dropped 58% from 1975 to 2019. Localized, early detected breast cancer has a 99% 5 year survival rate. Modern mammogram tech was developed by NASA for telescopes. Last year, RFK Jr. cancelled 87 research grants on breast cancer. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...

Creating stories for people who are hungry is what it's all about

Research friends, announcing a new venture! More coming soon... eyna.us

I am focused on the Stand Up for Science events today, but I will dig into these data early next week. I was continuously funded from when I started my independent career in 1988 until I move to NIH in 2003, usually with multiple grants. 1/2

Here is the "effective payline" for each institute, estimated (by Claude) as the percentile where one can expect 80% probability of funding from a logistic regression fit. The effective payline has gone from a historic ~12% to 6% in 2025.

back in the day students thought they'd learned something once they'd highlighted it in a book. now they think they've learned something when their chatbot has summarized it for them

Our new single "Solstice Motel" is officially out now! It’s a song about that heavy moment of standing in the doorway—deciding whether to stay in a bad situation or finally drive away into the dark. Crank the volume and listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/4enNaf...

wow. make america sick again

I had two thoughts after watching some of the Pam Bondi hearing today. The first is that one of the Senators she insulted and lied to may well be the Attorney General in the future. The other is that although Nixon did not go to prison, his Attorney General did.

wow too much for tim scott is saying something

California's Prop 50 redistricting plan was upheld by the Supreme Court. This is huge for the midterms and control of the House.

Democracy Dies in Darkness

No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost.com is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

“Democracy dies in darkness” turns out to have been a goal, not a warning.

Some days I feel like we're going over the cliff, other days I'm more hopeful. Either way, I'm just Holding On. I hope you are too. john-henderson.bandcamp.com/track/holdin...

I'm putting together a playlist of protest music, especially songs inspired by the current situation in Minneapolis and the US generally, with some classic tracks sprinkled in. If you have suggestions for others or your own music, please send me a link and I'll check it out. Any genre.

Oh, you make music? I'd love to hear (about) it, and I'm not the only one I'm sure. I will repost everything ✌️🖤

My weekly update (Grants with Notice of Award dates up to 1/23/26) All projects 1/3

Great thread on the risks of open data. No one‘s advocating a return to unavailable data sets, but it’s clear current subject protections are inadequate.

One of my favorite things in Davis, California.
