Graduating during the pandemic slowed down my process and is part of why I did two postdocs. Now as a first year faculty, all the federal grants are frozen. I love the work I do but this has all of us questioning how much www.science.org/content/arti...

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Bourbon barrels can only be used a single time. There is a thriving market for used bourbon barrels, which can be used to age wine, soy sauce, and, as here, Tabasco sauce. That means that every Tabasco bottle contains a hint of Kentucky bourbon.

They want to rip our culture away from us, but our culture doesn’t live in a building. It doesn’t exist only because a board says so. It occurs in all of us. And if they’re going to corrupt the historic institutions of our culture, we can simply take it elsewhere. They can’t steal your voice.

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

If you’re good at internet sleuthing and want to put your skills to work to help wildfire victims you can check for LA county rentals that have suddenly doubled in price, publicly name and shame the agents doing this, and report them to the government because it’s illegal: oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...
