And now this

These seem like excellent news

Stop by and meet the Moffitt team at the #AACR25 Career Fair! Learn about career opportunities and how we’re advancing cancer research and care. #MoffittAACR25 @theaacr.bsky.social

Don't be fooled by any pretence of science - Kennedy has already decided that autism is environmental, appointing a wholly unqualified antivaccine crank to torture the data until it confesses; the medical equivalent of a show trial. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It turns out misinformation is effective: Survey: "One-third of Republicans (35%) and a quarter (26%) of independents say it is “definitely” or “probably true” that the MMR vaccines have been proven to cause autism." Reality: MMR vaccines DO NOT cause autism. www.kff.org/health-infor...

The USA is not shown here but from my experience with uber drivers, this thought is not as rare as one would hope

apropos nothing

Beata Ujvari, Andriy Marusyk and Aurora Nedelcu are organising a symposium on “Cancer in an evolutionary framework: across species and within individuals” at the @eseb2025.bsky.social conference in Barcelona this August. Abstact submission closes on Friday: eseb2025.com/call-for-abs...

More news from our/the stupidest timeline:

Eggheads? ok, still a good piece worth a read

Journal editors are now receiving such letters from the US government. The entire scientific community must unite to support our journals in flatly resisting such illegal interventions.

Since the Trump administration is trying to kill cancer research, I asked ChatGPT to estimate the number of Trump'24 voters who will be diagnosed with cancer in 2025-2028. Estimate: 2.34 million And it added "That’s a super interesting idea for a data fusion exercise" ☺️

Rejoice, America! The dog-killing DHS head Kristi Noem has finally nabbed that most dangerous of criminals: a Japanese Mormon computer science nerd who was near someone who was extra good at catching fish one afternoon.

In today's Nature: "These cutbacks put the entire US research enterprise at risk. For more than 8 decades, the US has stood unrivalled as the world’s leader in scientific discovery and technological innovation. US universities spin off more than 1,100 science-based start-up companies each year.."

Same but with aims in an NIH R01 application

Welcome to @bsky.app Jake Scott (cancerconnector.bsky.social)

Trump wants to send citizens merely accused of crimes to foreign prisons where he can claim the U.S. has no jurisdiction to bring you back, even after the judiciary orders it. Once that happens even a single time, nothing will stop ICE from doing the same thing to you that they did to Abrego Garcia

This sounds like good news

Trumpism is anti-science. Here's frightening proof of what happens when his #DOGE hackers gut the #CDC as he installs a dangerously unqualified #RFKJr to run #HHS - kids die. www.cbsnews.com/news/milwauk...

egtheory.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/w... I've been revisiting this beautiful blog post by Artem Kaznatcheev today. In population biology, you can work in either discrete or continuous time, but the models you get don't always look similar at first glance. What gives? #evolution #mathbio #math (1/6)

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Universities in the US continue to stand up to bullies...oh no, sorry, I got that wrong #FLedition @usf.edu

Documents reveal Trump’s plan to gut funding for NASA and climate science www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Todays @mathonco.bsky.social research in progress is from a PhD student in @cancerevo.org David Basanta’s lab, Matt Froid is discussing: Modeling TCE Resistance in Multiple Myeloma @moffittnews.bsky.social

a lot of people think you need a lot of money to buy clothes. now you're right. ok. my bad.

I was told as a child that Israel was a safe haven for all Jewish people, a final refuge in time of greatest need. This idea was always problematic, as the land promised to us was stolen from others. But now it's just plain false. Only the "good" Zionist Jews are allowed in. Others not welcome.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Mohit for the @smbmathbiology.bsky.social podcast #BiologyInNumbers. There was a lot to learn about the behaviour of cells in #MetastaticCancer and how his work has influenced this important field. Listen in here: smb.org/news/13482578 #MathBio #MathOnco

Unexpected treat today @moffittnews.bsky.social Innovator's of Tomorrow symposium with Jeanette Johnson, working with @fertiglab.bsky.social and developing on @physicell.bsky.social to create an #ABM for #pancreatic #cancer forecasting

Social media giants profiteer off division misinformation, while downplaying any measure to mitigate those harms lest it hurt profits. In @sciam.bsky.social I suggest our SM giants are effectively a modern tobacco industry, for whom doubt is the product www.scientificamerican.com/article/goog...

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

I don’t think the country understands the nuclear bomb that has hit and destroyed Americas future. Our competitiveness globally was threatened - it is now guaranteed to dwindle to irrelevance. The future is based on science and technology. By the time they realize the damage, it will be too late. AR
