A lot of people weren't getting the point of this so to make it clear: Making a cure was unlikely. Joel didn't know that, but even with that reality it still doesn't make his actions right. The tragedy of the story is that two things can be true at once: there is no cure, and Ellie deserved agency.

As a biologist, I have to weigh in on #TheLastofUs Currently, there are no fungal vaccines. It would be difficult to make one (and EXPENSIVE). In the world of TLOU, it would be even more difficult to create a vaccine. One guy wouldn't be able to do it, especially with reduced resources.

When professors experience racism (sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc) at work, that’s part of their service load. It takes work to deal with that and still come back and do your job. That’s service to the department. It’s deeply unfair service. But it is service.

#Andor started when I took my qualifications exams for my PhD... and now it's ending an exact month before I am set to defend it. The timing has been so perfect.

For all the scientists who voted for Trump (and I know many of you), I hope the war on DEI was worth it.

BREAKING: Rümeysa Öztürk has been granted bail by a federal court in Vermont. With this ruling, she will be able to return to her Massachusetts community and continue her studies while the case proceeds. She never should have been locked up for exercising her First Amendment rights.
