This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

File this under "Neat, but unlikely to make a clinical impact" for reasons that the authors very astutely and openly lay out--the human body is not transparent. An IR photoactivation/photorelease, maybe...but that's even more difficult than visible light. 🧪

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

It’s a reminder that mindful, responsible departments and universities should be taking a seriously look at their tenure standards to make sure they don’t unduly burden marginalized faculty members during an assault on their research. Make sure you aren’t losing good people.

Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

I want to point out: according to my high school education, the Senators and Representatives from seceding states were never treated this badly in the run-up to the Civil War.

He announced who he was. And then was assaulted. In his role, he has oversight over DHS. They assaulted him anyway. This isn’t “troubling”, “concerning” or “like fascism”. This is fascism. This is where any semblance of democracy ends.

My children thought they would make fun of me as a glycoscientist by saying that my career is based on determining which skittle flavor is best. Little did they know that I have been preparing for this very question my entire life...

Quick vibe check at the NIH, per a staffer there: "We have lost so many people: we have no comms, no HR, no acquisitions, no one to do travel or purchasing. So many people have left that there are chains of email bounces..."

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

When I was a fresh young graduate student attending my first ever ASMS, my mentor brought Alan Marshall to my poster. He was curious, clever and kind. And he seemed genuinely delighted that I was showing him something new, even if at the time it was a bit half-baked. He will be missed.
