At a conference in Alabama, and happy for the moment that tariff induced inflation hasn't hit yet. Got a salad with a half pound ea of salmon, shrimp, and lump crabmeat for $22. I'd show a picture but I ate it too fast

Four critically endangered Galapagos tortoises have hatched for the first time in the Philadelphia Zoo’s 150-year history. They were born to the ~100-year-old Western Santa Cruz Galapagos tortoise known as “Mommy,” who is the zoo’s oldest resident. 🧪🐢 www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

I mean if ur linking 'em to fossil fuels, yeah it's a bit indirect, but AK, TN, MS, & LA used to be covered in old growth forests, which were razed, & replaced with farms & pine plantations & now all the pine is being cut down for paper & you have hot, flat land perfect to feed energy to tornadoes.

Yes, all one has to do is look at the last 20 years of Supreme Court rulings to see how far to the left the judiciary has moved. Sigh. Do these people ever say anything that is true?

Saddened by the loss of Val Kilmer. Also angered by the headlines "Batman Forever star..." seriously? The Doors, Real Genius, Top Gun, The Saint, Top Secret, TOMBSTONE!!! Y'all are doing this man dirty. Show some respect for crying out loud.

Most people are unaware that in GOOD times researchers live in a "climate of fear". You've a better chance becoming a NAVY SEAL than becoming a faculty member at an R1 academic research institution. THEN your apps must be top 5-10 percentile to get funded. Now is just SHEER DISGUST and Despondency

This is so blindingly obvious. But I'm still glad people within the world of Trumpism are willing to say it. And not just national security but economic/dynamism and prosperity which of course is the sine qua non, the necessary condition of national power.

Been working all weekend to improve the lectures and practicals for the next couple weeks of the stats course I teach and the saying "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink" keeps popping in my head. Except I really need to get these horses to drink. How do you get them to drink?

Grilling burgers for dinner on a sunny Sunday, and making sandwiches for the lunchboxes this week... I'm like a Vegas blackjack dealer with these Velveeta cheese slices... and yes Velveeta and Cheez Whiz in this house. Kids may not've been born in Philly but they will feel it in their blood.

An image from my postdoc for this #FluorescenceFriday this is the apical turn of a cochlea from a fluorescent reporter mouse, it is a 2D representation of a 3D image, the colors are depth coding so the yellow neurons are the farthest down and the blue areas are closest to the top

Just a thought re: Columbia and other Uni's capitulating by limiting academic freedom, free speech and making other regressive policy moves... you know they're going to gut your funding no matter what you do, right?

I must resist snarky comment here. And also I get it, I've looked myself at jobs in Europe, New Zealand, Oz, and Canada (tho I don't think I could take the cold), but if we all leave then who resists? Who rebuilds? Maybe I'm an optimist, but I'm going to stick it out at least to the midterms.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

To add to this... A quick look @ Nature careers site lists almost exclusively jobs in Asia and almost none in the US as US universities are hesitant to hire until some clarity is provided re: NIH going forward. Every day we are ceding our dominance in biotech. timmermanreport.com/2025/03/nih-...

For #FluorescenceFriday here are some images of single molecule fluorescent in situ hybridization (smFISH) for Insm1 (red/magenta) combined with immunolabeling of Myo6 (green). With smFISH, each dot labels a single mRNA molecule which allows us to count transcript/gene expression in cells, in situ.

The removal of Jackie Robinson's military service from gov websites is wild to me not just bc its purely racist and stupid, but bc it's one of the most interesting things in his life story, part of the 761st just an amazing tank battalion, court martial for not sitting in the back of a bus 1/
