I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

We don’t have “gifted” elementary schools in NYC, it is simply an accelerated curriculum with more resources and support. This coming from a mom of a 3rd grader in a G&T program. Dropping this here for all the NYC parents currently losing their minds: edadvance.substack.com/p/all-studen...

Jane Goodall was a global legend at the forefront of discovery — breaking through barriers for women in primatology, science, and beyond. Her curiosity, strength, and kindness changed the world, bridging countries and cultures in pursuit of a better future.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

How humiliating for the United States military

Worth the wait :)

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Breaking news from Des Moines: ICE has detained Dr. Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Iowa's largest school district. The Des Moines Public Schools said "We have no confirmed information as to why Dr. Roberts is being detained or the next potential steps." www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/09/26/i...

Historical nuance, sincerity, storytelling, AND evidence-based solutions?! I’ve never heard a politician speak like this, and definitely not about Black maternal health. This is amazing.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Genuinely feels like a tipping point for American democracy, if we can keep it.

there is nothing more american than news of a political shooting being interrupted by news of a school shooting

I don’t think the World Cup should be held here (with all the current chaos) - but absolutely love this sentiment. Cannot wait for Mamdani to be our mayor

Keeping families in debt or out of the workforce is a policy choice. Universal childcare needs to be prioritized - hope NY follows suit! @governor.ny.gov

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

so not only is this appalling man peddling utter garbage about autism, he's also blaming women for their children's autism (Tylenol is paracetamol, fellow Brits). What a disgusting person he is

"available soon" This should be regulated as a standard practice, before deployment, for all platforms, including AI tools, models, and systems.

All of us will have to ask ourselves hard questions in the weeks and months to come. What are our bright lines? How do we retain our professional integrity? How can we best leverage our expertise to rebut misinformation and coordinated efforts to dismantle American leadership in science?

As one can imagine, I have some thoughts. Here’s a thread no one asked for: 1. SCIENCE IN THE US IS POLITICAL. No matter how much you want to ignore that fact, it is supported by taxpayer dollars and is therefore, political by nature. 2. BUT it has had bipartisan support for decades, which…

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

I cannot emphasize enough that the playbook being used against mRNA vaccines (and vaccines in general) is IDENTICAL to the playbook used to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election: actively sow public distrust, then cite the distrust you sowed as an independent reason for your desired policy

In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.

Well, Cuomo asked for a fight. He got it.

Gotta be pretty special for me to root against Naomi Osaka - what an incredible year for Victoria Mboko!

What incentive will scientists have left to serve on review panels if the decisions will ultimately be based on Trump’s political agenda? I am sure the GOP will use this to ensure funding gets appropriated to red states over blue states 🙄

If Republicans won the election in a landslide (including all of the swing states) and the administration is following through with their campaign promises - why are Republicans going to such great lengths to rig the midterms? 🤔

Incredible how fast the US has lost its mind, but many of us who protested RFK Jr’s appointment predicted this travesty. That 5 years after COVID killed over 1 million Americans we would reverse course on life-saving vaccines is hard to fathom. The consequences will be devastating. #IllnessPolitics

Was looking into what Cognitive Scientists mean by ‘domain-general’ cognition, and then hit upon this. This is definitely NOT how we use that term. Tip: read the last sentence to understand what went wrong here. Sigh.
