Read this closely, it also is creating a brown shirt brigade from USPHS Officers that are not part of the oaths that they have sworn to uphold either as part of their professions or as Commissioned Officers.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

The travel/travel spending ban expires tomorrow so maybe we will find out if we're going to a conference in May. IMO I think it's unlikely there would be enough time to plan arrangements even if it's lifted.

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

#Moss grew on the cement, and then #lichen grew on the moss. I like it when nature visibly reclaims some little parts of the city.

No federal employee should spend more than 30 seconds thinking about Musk's latest strutting "I'm in charge of you" email. Delete it, don't reply, don't think about it, don't waste time talking about it. Musk is not our boss, in no world. 🖕🧪 #NIH Americans support science, not oligarchs.

Friends, I am at a loss of words for how devastating it would be to lose the entire intramural #NIH program. Some of the biggest medical and scientific breakthroughs have come from scientists in the NIH Intramural program. #SaveTheNIH 🧬🧪 🖥️ 🧠 www.science.org/content/arti...

Neural networks are so much fun! I'm using chatgpt to help me write the python code and launch lots of different models on my data in a systematic way. Using multi layer perceptron in scikitlearn 🤖👾

Federal workers choose public service to serve our people, but the Trump administration wants to traumatize them. We need cancer researchers, forest service firefighters, nuclear safety experts, VA nurses and food safety inspectors. We don’t need Elon Musk, whatever his job is.

Also just now, NIH intranet was updated re its communications pause. NIH scientists can now resume travel to and participation in conferences. The pause on updating the Federal Register remains in place -- which means grant-making is effectively frozen, in violation of court orders.

Working on neural network models with metabolomics data today and it's performing terribly for the cases, great for the noncases 🫠🥴🥴 #ai #ml I tried rebalancing, multiclass outcome for the boundary cases...fewer features

🚨This should be amplified!! Study sections and council meetings are still being cancelled despite the court order unblocking NIH freezes, effectively halting any new research grant from being funded: www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

Garrett Graff is a former editor of Politico. Take note, scientists 🧪, he is deeply informed about politics. “American institutions [including science institutions] continue to underreact” to what is happening. Keeping our heads down won’t work. 1/
