Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

After work, as is my idiom I will be messaging all my friends to tell them I love and appreciate them Because Valentine's as the day of Love should be about more than just Eros because our obsession with only that aspect makes easily half of us MISERABLE Tell a homie you care, be happy, be loved

It is so hard to get through to people that before food stamps, kids starved. Before meat inspections, kids died. Before vaccines, kids died. You're choosing to kill children to save a buck & you refuse to see it because it's not real to you

‘Don’t Die’ Bryan Johnson posted a video about his leaving a podcast in India due to bad air quality. The narcissism on display is difficult to comprehend. He claims it was the biggest talking point in India for several days! Imagine being that convinced the universe revolves around you. 1/3

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

Interpretation for the non-scientists: When faculty get NIH grants, the University gets some extra cash to make sure the research is supported. NIH just cut that $$ by a LOT. That means Unis are less likely to support research. Most research in the US is done at Unis, so... it's bad 🧪

I'm once again asking science YouTubers to stop saying you can't see individual atoms with visible light when optical super-resolution microscopy techniques able to do that is very much a thing. You can explain diffraction limits without misinforming your audience..

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.
