A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

We need to focus more broadly than events in the White House. The entire GOP is working to give our Federal lands to private interests. Eliminating Federal land jobs will discourage public visitors. Extractive industries will do permanent damage. We must stop the privatization of our land.

Beautiful video of inter-cellular signaling in a swarming response that I pulled from the other place, produced by @strickland-evelyn.bsky.social in collaboration with D. Irimia lab. The dye detects calcium flux that indicates a signal being received by each cell: you're seeing the 'alarm' go out.
