This is remarkable. The last of 8 patients who tested positive for Ebola Sudan has been discharged. Now the 42 day count down to this outbreak being officially declared over is on. Only 1 fatality is a remarkable feat.🤞 Kudos to front line responders in #Uganda www.independent.co.uk/news/ebola-u...

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Yesterday was the international day of women in science, and my feed was full of marine science colleagues and institutions posting about how they support women in science. Great! Keep that up. 🧪🌎🦑

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

That’s it. That’s the last straw! Can’t paper over this any more. It just sucks for the environment. First they came for the straws but it quickly became a slippery sip after that. Paper straws were litter-ally blown away. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Monks and Arabic institutions were invaluable during the European Dark Ages for safekeeping ancient thought. Are we all monks now? Oh don’t mind me. Just monkeying around.

Even if the NIH indirect changes are temporarily blocked or reversed tomorrow, the Overton Window has shifted and we know it’s possible that the scientific research enterprise as we know it is irrevocably more tenuous than it was last week. Download your datasets and get them off Google servers

Any time there is a regulation change the affected industry whines and complains and insists on phasing it in over years. The changes in federal government over the last few weeks will result in massive OVERNIGHT changes to just about every industry as far as I can tell.

Unemployment rate is about to skyrocket. Hope I’m wrong.

The time: 7 minutes before school bell rings. The scene: 18 degrees. 14 yo dressed in a t shirt and grey sweatpants walks back in the house. 14yo: “Bruh. Can I borrow the coat you’re wearing? I lost mine.”
