You could become part of this story, btw. All it takes is a cheek swab. And somewhere down the line, you could be standing next to someone you'd never met before, someone full of your atoms. And then maybe you'll think of that thread written by the weird animal guy. 🧪 www.nmdp.org/get-involved...

Ok scientists & those who love science 🧪: here is another exhortation. Call Congress TODAY about the freeze on NIH Council Meetings and Study Sections. Emphasize that this means NO new grants are being funded & labs will soon start to shut down and fire employees. Phone numbers are at: 5calls.org

I'll never forget the sound of the audience clapping after the talk was over and I snapped out of my presentation-giving-fugue-state and remembered to reveal that Mike and Dinie were actually there, sitting in the front row. What a truly special experience. 🧪

To engage in resistance, you need to engage in acts of resistance. 🧪 You DO NOT NEED TO: 1. Sign up to attend a protest 2. Use your real name if you must sign up for something (any list you sign is insecure) 3. Use your work email address (don't) Don't trust anyone telling you that you have to

I know, it feels like we are more disconnected than ever, both from nature and wildlife but also from each other, but no matter who you are, or what you believe, or who you love, or what side of some imaginary line you live on, you are bound up in this great swirling atomic potluck. 🧪

But at the atomic level, the human body is like an Amazon warehouse, parcels coming & going 24 hours of the day, 7 days of the week. With every breath, you add & expel atoms that once belonged to the people sitting next to you, but also the redwoods in California & plankton in the South Pacific. 🧪

I need 🧪 to understand that this political moment is not the same as 2020 when support for voicing support for Black Lives Matter was so mainstream even big corps were doing it. You are about to be targeted by COINTELPRO type ops, SS-style state policing, etc. DO INFO SECURITY ACCORDINGLY

But the idea that, for the last decade & some change, there has been a guy walking around Richmond, VA w/a whole bunch of my atoms never left me. And what's weirder is that this exchange is not actually all that uncommon. (I mean, yes, it's rare to find someone that you can share bone marrow with.)🧪

We were complete strangers at the time, connected only by a weirdly specific similarity in our human leukocyte antigens. Well, as you can see, it worked! And we've since been able to meet each other and become friends. Here's a photo from our first meeting, back in 2012. 🧪

One of the main characters in this story is Mike Dudley, who along with his wife, Diana, were actually able to come hear the talk. As some of you may remember, Mike & I are blood brothers. In 2008, he received a transplant of my bone marrow in an attempt to survive acute myeloid leukemia. 🧪

Did this actually happen, or did I dream it? A few weeks ago, @radfordu.bsky.social invited me to give a 🧪 talk, and I used it as an opportunity to tell a story I'd never told before... a story about the cosmos, snow leopards, atoms, and ultimately, about the interconnectedness of all things.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings
