Let’s hope. That program provides really important opportunities for undergrads to get real hands-on scientific experience. This is invaluable.

Good morning! Sunset in Nova Scotia photographed by Eve Raymond. Amazing clouds and color..

This is a much needed reminder.

Corrupt much?

This is absolutely disgusting and wrong. That is all.

That looks like an ideal meal for any time of day.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I would feel blessed to simply be able to just ignore them.

What are the current betting odds on whether the paint job is being done with watercolors?

Every other homeowner in my neighborhood would stroke out seeing this. I’d rather have some cute armadillos than non-stop golf course perfect lawn after lawn.

If the Supreme Court is concerned about its declining public legitimacy and thinks too many Americans are calling the Supreme Court illegitimate, the majority could try not issuing bad faith rulings that illegitimately distort law in pursuit of undemocratic partisan power. That’s always an option.

Murray: “Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?” Dahl: Yes Murray: “And the rate for someone making $1,000,000? “ Dahl: 2.2% Murray: “So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.”

We have lost a giant of biomedical research in @jcv.bsky.social His efforts changed the direction of biomedical research and clinical medicine. He accelerated work in the human genome project, then engaged in an extensive, truly basic science approach to understand the marine genetic environment.

We are especially sensitive right now because the exact language scientists have used to call for potential reforms are now being used against as an excuse to completely destroy our labs. We're staring at thousands of labs potentially closing, many for good. That's not hyperbole.

🧬This #WorldDNADay, we spotlight this breathtaking capture by @christlet.bsky.social#WorldDNADay 🔬With the NSPARC detector, Christophe reveals the intricate architecture of Rat2-cells 📝This is part of a broader story on advances in super‑resolution microscopy.

Happy #EarthDay! We need to do what we can to make it so the #Earth stays livable for us. The Earth will still be here after we destroy ourselves through greed, idiocy, convenience, and hate. We as a species should be able to do better. Here was a moment of peace I share with you on this Earth Day.

8 if they’re skinny; 4 if they’re fat.

It is also incompatible with the constitution, which created 3 separate branches of government. The judicial branch under Roberts, and the legislative branch have failed to protect the rights and best interests of the nation and its people.

I saw one of these guys (along with the missus) in the Japanese maple outside my dining room window this morning. I’m hoping they move in. The only thing they do is to add a bit more beauty to a world that desperately needs it.

Wanna bet there would be NO “viewpoint diversity” at all among the selectees?

What took so long? And why isn’t he in jail for sedition?

What a mess West Virginia's power bills are "Yeah, we understand you want to support the coal industry, but do you want to support it to the extent that you’re OK paying twice as much as you should be for electricity?" www.insurancejournal.com/news/southea...

I don’t usually wade directly into the political cesspool, but I’ve put my waders on and here it is: If you don’t sexually harass people, maybe you don’t have to resign from congress…..

the idea that you can be pardoned for crimes you have not yet been charged with is batshit and nobody needs to pretend that it isn't

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

"Light Fossils" dinosaur light painting by artist Darren Pearson, known as Darius Twin, using a unique photography technique. The artwork is created using long-exposure photography, where the camera shutter remains open while the artist moves handheld lights to "draw" the figures in real-time.

Science is good. We should fund it.

Reminder that NASA’s total annual budget is only $24B, far less than what we have spent in 3 weeks on the latest US war in the Middle East

While Acting AG Todd Blanche tries to convince Americans that Trump’s DOJ is tough on fraud, the reality is Trump has pardoned more than 70 allies, donors, and others convicted of fraud. The hypocrisy of Trump’s “justice” and how his new war on fraud is just bullshit. youtu.be/wvX7-oYs-cs?...

🪰 In the 1930s, USDA paid scientists to study the sex life of the screwworm fly. Congress called it waste. Result: a $250K investment that eradicated a flesh-eating parasite from an entire continent, saved ranchers billions, and cut beef prices 5%. Still in use today.

"That's AI." As an 8th grade teacher, this is a new insult the kids have been using this year, even on things unrelated to writing. Someone does something stupid, or ridiculous, or cruel: "Ugh, you're AI."

Always check you're following the manufacturer guidelines for maximum PSI when inflating your tires

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

This is a huge issue. You want “America First?” Then our nation requires accessible, affordable leading edge data storage, data analysis tools, and computing power is essential to thrive.

This sums up SO much….

This speaks volumes

Remember the White House ‘hype’ videos? Unserious people in very serious jobs.

ICE is building Concentration Camps. FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON GERMANY DID. What was the official government stated purpose of the Camps in Germany? To help those interred to EMIGRATE OUT OF GERMANY. Word for word the same as ICE. KNOW YOUR HISTORY!!!

With a serious round of steam cleaning and disinfectant.

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”
