PUBLIC HEALTH is my business! VERY computer literate since 1973. NOT your granny. Misinformation of science via U.S. press is frequent. I block trolls. Keep talking to each other & practice deep listening.

A new paper about plants and people at the Funnel Beaker site of Frydenlund, Denmark, presenting lots of charcoal and radiocarbon dates to reconstruct the vegetation and site formation processes: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #archaeobotany #archaeology #Neolithic

I'm stressed as hell having to explain to people older than me that we've learned this lesson no less than 3x in my very short lifetime. You can't just topple a regime holding together a bunch of groups who hate each other, unite them in their hatred of you in the process, then expect good things.

The final evolution of software engineer is knowing so many programming languages that you can't code in any of them and have to Google basic syntax.

📉16 million Americans losing health insurance. 📈$2.4 trillion added to our national debt. The Republicans’ budget just doesn’t add up.

@hickenlooper.bsky.social revitalized downtown Denver via a brewery in LoDo. when I moved there in 1994, it was a bit scary. Its not scary now. Why? Because most of the unhoused vulnerable people have homes.

I’ll never stop fighting for Colorado. It’s what I’ve always done. 1️⃣ As Mayor, I revitalized Denver's public transit system. 2️⃣ As Governor, I took our economy from 40th to 1st in the nation. 3️⃣ As Senator, I negotiated the largest ever investment to fight climate change. And I'm not done yet.

Tax cuts sound great until you realize they’re predominantly for the ultra-wealthy who don’t need or want them AND they’re at the expense of 16 million Americans’ health care. It’s a lose-lose.

Proud to share my first first-author paper out this week! Can we leverage environmental data from germplasm banks to improve climate adaptation in maize breeding? journals.plos.org/plosgenetics... (1/3)

Again - this is *YOUR* land. They are stealing it from you to sell off to corporate interests and I'd be shocked if there isn't a bunch of sleazy quid pro quo involved

@drwhale.bsky.social and colleagues have discovered a new orca (Orcinus orca ater) behavior known as allokelping! These killer whales use bull kelp as grooming tools - possibly to enhance social bonds or to promote skin health! 🧪 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Because it cannot be squared.

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

It is worth reminding every American today that the people who hid Anne Frank were outlaws. The people who sent her to die in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were law-abiding citizens.

Masked men in Border Patrol vests violently detained a father of three US Marines. If the Department of Homeland Security wants their agents to be respected, they cannot act like masked vigilantes who violate the law.

@virtahealth.bsky.social we shall see

Nice to see another paper from the @jonmcgavock.bsky.social lab on urban cycling. This study looked at if cycling-specific active transportation was sensitive to The Fresh Start Effect, with people being more likely to cycle to work at the start of the week. ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

some jack-ass almost got me to hit them in the face with my fist. WHY? Lots of folks do NOT read English especially well but are very good at carpentry, drywall, home repair, shingles, HEALTH CARE my first hubby had dyslexia. He was white & US Born. I am not interested in opinions on immigration.

@aoc.bsky.social why I did NOT vote for Harris.... do not talk to me about immigrants. you had 4 years sitting on your ass in the Senate & not making people who have lived in the U.S. for 25 years an option to be legal. as for pro-choice? WE HAVE BIRTH CONTROL NOW, USE IT. condoms & foam? pills?

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

@julielasselin.bsky.social hear about the branched chain amino acids & re-configuration during GLUCAGON DOMINANT metab? WE HAVE TO STOP EATING NON-STOP AROUND THE CLOCK. skip pretzels, eat real food. I am sorry I did not figure it out before Dr. Richard Bernstein died. He had type 1 diabetes.

NEW MEXICO IS HAVING A TACO FESTIVAL.... yum yum

if noem shows up at my door? I have a "bad cataract" & a bottle of gin. I will whack her with a little metal baseball bat I bought for little Max (he already had one), poor gin on myself, maybe drink a bit in case they make me pee in a jar at the police station. ENOUGH ALREADY

I am trying to get Bill Gates onboard via linkedIn. Gates suggested via his newsletter: Smil's books. I did read them or listened to them in the evenings. I have a circadian light exposure self experiment going on since 2023. I have no intention of explaining circadian biology to you. READ MUCH?

I 100% AGREE... He knows why I started bugging him on X & he knows what kind of stuff I look for.. love you. Hey my younger son moved to a farm in Michigan. I guess HER tractor was sexy. He plans to get married in Sept. 2025. We called him the "chick magnet" behind his back. glad its a female.

Woot! Congrats @doctheagrif.bsky.social ! www.hhmi.org/programs/fre...

Great work from UCSD BMS PhD student Stephany Flores Ramos (Zarrinpar and Knight labs) in Cell Host Microbe Metatranscriptomics reveals daily microbial rhythms Under a high-fat diet, time-restricted feeding restores microbial transcript cycling Shows microbes respond to when we eat, not just what

I don't always link to the WSJ, but when I do it's usually something like this:

What year is this? 1999? Thimerosal was removed from childhood vaccines in 2001.🤦🏻‍♂️

New research from the lab of Drs. Diana Sherifali and Megan Racey looks at understanding the genesis and current use of percent weight loss targets in research. An interesting read about how we measure this metric. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Pleased to share that my first, first-author publication was published yesterday in @pnas.org ! We (me + @jrossibarra.bsky.social) did a little bit of detective work to better understand the age and origin of a mutation that played a key role in maize domestication. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... (1/n)

I think you are lying

I said what I said.
