I needed to see this today. Something beautiful is going to happen. #nokings

This Elusive Antarctic Squid Was Seen for the First Time

Scientific mentoring question - some folks I work near tend to be avoidant around sharing work that is not perfect or asking about a topic that they're new to. What are some good ways to create an environment where people feel comfortable or encouraged to ask for assistance when they need it?

New article, led by Loveleen Bansi-Matharu and other colleagues from the HIV modeling consortium - estimating where along the HIV care continuum new HIV acquisitions occur, with implications for how to reduce future acquisitions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It seems that network science could help us understand who was going to be elected the next Pope. Provost showed a highly prominent position in the social network of cardinals. Kudos to the researchers of Bocconi University! www.unibocconi.it/en/news/netw...

This is how I found out

It’s time to reconsolidate a counterculture and politics against this shit. Science, art, medicine, poetry, philosophy as the beautiful life, the fullness of human civilization, that they want to destroy. Humanism, not cynicism, not slop, not tech “””nerd””” culture

🚨 Science nerds: TIME FOR ACTION!! 🧪 The past two weeks have been horrendous for NSF. Will only continue to get worse, with likely more hits and fuckery today & tomorrow. See this new @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social article for where we are today (gift link). 🧵 But then most importantly...

If you need joy today, take time to celebrate *Princess Awesome et al vs. CPB et al* joining this list of comical case names. www.loweringthebar.net/comical-case...

Proud to be able to contribute to this work with other colleagues in the HIV Modelling Consortium, estimating the impact of USAID and PEPFAR's cuts to HIV programs. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This paper is wild. Using Facebook data, migration flows for 3B people are estimated. Results match other high-quality approaches where estimates are available but the FB data approach can be applied much more broadly and quickly. Data will be made public through the Humanitarian Data Exchange.

I am no longer working on evaluating the health impacts of providing dapirivine to adolescent girls and young women. As of today, I am now evaluating the health impacts of giving dapirivine to people with vaginas ages 15-25.

The former head of PEPFAR pleads for the preservation of the lifesaving program. @cohenjon.bsky.social speaks with John Nkengasong. www.science.org/content/arti...

I didn’t make it to CROI this year, and I’m so glad I caught up with Rebecca Denison’s presentation. A deeply moving and sobering reminder that each of us has a contribution to make at this political moment. youtu.be/CutIwfkv8oU?...
