Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Never in a million years did I think I’d be having regular conversations with my peers (most of them are other PRFB postdocs) about what we plan to do with our lives if we can’t be scientists anymore, i.e., if all the jobs continue disappearing. It’s all very bleak as an ECR right now.

This just keeps getting more upside down. Steve Bannon says he’s advising Trump to cancel all of Elon’s federal contracts and launch multiple investigations into the world’s richest man.

For the past 5 months I’ve been privileged to live surrounded by incredibly biodiverse Panamanian rainforest, & it’s been a wonderful experience. But the relative rarity of some insects is deeply disturbing. There is no more important story in the world right now. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

You might as well just hold on to your convictions, since abandoning them all is clearly not a viable strategy against eroding higher ed governance

Jonathan Joss was so perfect as Chief Ken Hotate on Parks and Rec, a character who loved messing with white people above all else. RIP

The MAHA report on child health has been criticized for plagiarism, AI authorship and citations to non-existent articles. But the content of the report itself is also a mess-- a potpourri of junk science and groundless speculations. www.whitehouse.gov/maha/

The bottom line with the proposed cuts to NSF is to cut the number of working scientists and disappear opportunities to train new scientists. This is a PROPOSED budget to Congress. Call your reps.

Ready for tiny birds from above the Arctic Circle? Our new paper on the Cretaceous origins of Arctic nesting drops today in Science. This project was led by @lnwilson.bsky.social‬ and features amazing fossils recovered by Pat Druckenmiller’s field program in the Prince Creek Formation of Alaska.

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

Policarpo et al. use phylogenetic and synteny data to identify 19 teleost-to-teleost horizontal gene transfers, involving genes linked to immunity or pore formation; this suggests eukaryote-to-eukaryote HGT has shaped teleost evolution. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf107 #evolbio #molbio #fish

I’m hoping that there will be some rapid action to get legal support to the PhD students who have had their NSF GRFP (fellowships) terminated in the Trump regime’s latest attacks on academia.
