Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world? NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.

Our bizarre, self-inflicted science funding crisis is finally getting some attention in the general media. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

UKRI funding has been eaten by inflation for more than a decade. Just put more cash into the system for project grants, or UK science won't recover from the current catastrophe

Yeah so, I really want to see all my non-American friends as much and as soon as possible, but I also want them to not be here for the “raw sewage” situation. Sh*t is not okay over here, friends.

this is about time, there have been plenty of wake up calls before this tragedy

A beautiful poem by the woman murdered by ICE. I feel rage and aching and horror. It isn’t more awful because she wrote this, but it is heartbreaking and tragic in an almost tangible way to read her poetry. poets.org/2020-on-lear...

We’re in an era of back-yardism. Trump’s takeover of Venezuela & maybe Greenland means he can’t logically object to Putin’s desire to take back Ukraine in Russia’s back-yard, or Xi grabbing Taiwan. The US, once the world’s moral super-power, shrinks to policeman for the Americas.

Fantastic Inaugural Lectures by Katie Doores and Patricia Barral @barrallab.bsky.social . It is a real privilege to have colleagues like them at @kingslsm.bsky.social .

it was a pleasure to write this spotlight article. Many questions remain about sensing of missegregated DNA by NoCut, but the @longchrom.bsky.social lab makes exciting progress. They put the helicases Srs2/PARI in the picture, suggesting new mechanisms for genome protection.

these are really sad news. Antonio Garcia Bellido was a scientific giant, he paved the way to world class science in Spain. His pioneering work in Developmental Biology was truly revolutionary

that trust won't go well in the White House. Why having the BBC if you can spread fake BS?

New Home Office figures show a rise of 50% in citizenship applications from Americans – putting it at the highest since records began. In my view, you can’t have too many open-minded Americans in your country — they’re the best of the best.

There’s plenty of bad news today, but this should be on everyone’s radar. This is going to have a TON of negative consequences. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

it is the destruction of US science in front of our eyes, as promised. It will take decades to rebuild, if you ever have another presidential election

"It was a notable display, if only because the f-22 is America’s most capable fighter and remains protected from prying eyes. ...The Russian delegation no doubt took every opportunity to scrutinise them as the motorcade made its way down the flight line." www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

America will pay the price for Donald Trump’s tariffs. Growth was underwhelming and inflation disappointingly high in the first half of the year. But the full toll of his foolish policy will be felt over the long term econ.st/4mLeTnP Photo: AP

I am so proud of @jezcarlton.bsky.social . What a magnificent inaugural lecture, many congratulations Professor Carlton!

The Blizard Institute is very lucky to have this bunch of excellent virologists joining soon. All the best in your new adventure!

Last week’s ESCRT meeting was full of great science and engaging discussions! 🤩 Such a great place to share our work on ESCRT during Mycobacterium marinum infection 🦠

It cost us so little to help so many, I am so ashamed of my government

Back home! Thank you to all attendies who made this meeting such a great experience!

Looking forward to seeing everyone again in the next edition Thank you to @embo.org & @biologists.bsky.social for their support

What a fantastic ESCRT meeting, the field is going strong and full of exciting science. Many thanks to @rouxlab.bsky.social @cellarchlab.com @jujumathieu.bsky.social @magromayor.bsky.social @majarad.bsky.social for organising such a a great event

it is always fantastic to hear about the winners of the Lister Prize. Check this out 👇

This award to Sergi Garcia-Manyes is very well deserved. His research is at the cutting edge of mechanobiology, and he is a fantastic colleague and collaborator.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

An important point here—crowdfunding, and even subscriptions, can't be the basis of any kind of permanent solution to the funding problem at FlyBase. The current shitshow at NIH guarantees similar problems at all the other genome databases, potentially in the near future. (1/2)

Donald Trump’s attacks on science are unfocused and disingenuous. Far from unshackling scientific endeavour, the administration is doing it serious damage. The consequences will be bad for everyone econ.st/3Sld8QW

Donald Trump has replaced the old certainties that underpinned the world economy with extraordinary levels of volatility and confusion. Some of the chaos may have abated for now. But it will take a very long time to rebuild what has been lost econ.st/4i6Z4Vx
