BREAKING: Over 300 NIH workers have signed The Bethesda Declaration and delivered it to Director Bhattacharya accusing him and the admin of putting “political momentum over human safety and faithful stewardship of public resources” and demanding changes. www.importantcontext.news/p/nih-worker...

O governo tem de responder a isto.

“Pursue other opportunities”

“American institutions and the innovators within them have succeeded based on a contract between the federal government and U.S. research universities. The result of major funding for research created the country we know today” www.statnews.com/2025/06/06/u...

Options are emerging for the tens of millions of people who stop taking GLP-1 drugs because of side effects, cost or availability. https://go.nature.com/3HCtRgr

Ele estava cobrindo os protestos quando foi abordado pelos policiais que disseram que ele não estava preso, só detido e que não poderia ficar ali e que se voltasse, ai sim seria preso. Antes de liberá-lo os policiais anotaram as informações dele. Um correspondente nacional da CNN... 🤷🏾‍♀️

Science-wide replication crisis? "The executive order should be a wake-up call for science reformers to communicate more carefully."

Lisbon's mayor looks at LA and thinks: "we need some of that government sponsored violence here"

Acirrar os ânimos com base em falsidades para fins eleitoralistas devia ser automaticamente desqualificatório. A mentira tem perna curta, vamos ver o que acontece.

"É normal que seja prometido o fim de uma República na própria Assembleia da República e que ninguém, a começar pelo seu próprio presidente, franza sequer o sobrolho? Não deve haver regime que não se defenda em relação à promessa de que querem acabar com ele." expresso.pt/opiniao/2025...

Foi há precisamente 30 anos. A 10 de Junho de 1995, um grupo de neonazis saiu para “caçar pretos no Bairro Alto”. Assassinaram Alcindo Monteiro, um jovem de 27 anos que tinha saído para dançar com amigos. Não esquecemos que o racismo mata. Nunca paramos de combatê-lo.

Os neofascistas atacam os livros, o teatro e quem faz a cultura. Fazem-no porque acham que podem. O Governo do PSD retirou do relatório de segurança interna a ameaça da extrema direita. É o maior risco à nossa democracia. Solidariedade com o teatro d’A Barraca. Vamos à luta ✊

há dois racismos em pt: o endógeno, recalcado e saudosista; e o importado, pastiche grotesca de organizações supremacistas estrangeiras. curiosamente, e não desculpando o primeiro, aquele que comete atos de violência parece ser este último. ie, o racismo violento é o menos português dos racismos.

Pilgrimage site 'In 1821, aristocrat Sessai Matsuyma ordered the erection of the monument. Its purpose was to console the spirits of the flies, crickets & grasshoppers that had been killed in the production of a scientific text— an anatomical study of insects that Matsuyama himself had commissioned'

Continual reminder that nobody should fucking use genAI because it is a tool of the oppressor.

Gravissimo! A extrema direita normalizada dá nisto. www.publico.pt/2025/06/10/c...

Reminder for when we talk about improving NIH grant review. Huberman brought blind review up with Bhattacharya. “redaction caused applications from White scientists to score worse” elifesciences.org/articles/71368

The @erc.europa.eu & Horizon Europe have to take this into account: these fees should not be allowed to be levied on any researcher or their immediate family members supported in projects supported with EU funds.

The core question should be what is right. (The legal constraint is a second order point). It would be extremely weird to have an identical threshold for work visas from abroad & British citizens getting married to people from abroad inews.co.uk/news/politic...

What standing up to ICE looks like. #Resist

NY's finest

Alemanha, França e Itália "empregam cerca de metade dos trabalhadores do sector privado europeu, mas esse peso sobe para quase dois terços em sectores industriais tecnologicamente avançados, como a química, o fabrico de máquinas e equipamentos, a electrónica e óptica, e o material de transporte."

“What’s happening right now with the fall semester just around the corner is that some international students may withdraw, delay or switch to applications elsewhere. The bigger implication will be in 2026.” www.ft.com/content/65b4...

Fantastic story (in French) www.youtube.com/watch?v=BokW...

So if your list of worries included reviewer #3, a cancelled funding round, murine hepatitis in your animal house, low sorting purity or cross reactive monoclonals, you can apparently now add a Kardashian driven shortage of salmon sperm DNA www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzgg...

'Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to “any city, any university I want” he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years. Dr. Patapoutian declined (...) Many scientists just setting out on their careers, however, fear there is no other option but to leave."

'As I see it, the philosophy of physics is in fact somewhat akin to art criticism – but where the subject matter is not music or visual art or architecture, but the theories of physics constructed by some of the greatest and most creative minds of all time (from Galileo to Newton to Einstein).'

'There are now hundreds of talent-recruitment policies at the central, provincial and city levels, says Wang. The initiatives are tiered, from highly competitive programmes seeking to attract elite researchers and innovators to those encouraging skilled workers to move to specific cities or regions'

'The school, founded by George Soros, was once an example of academia flourishing in post-Soviet Europe. Now, less than a decade after Hungary’s right-wing government forced it to move out of Budapest, people there are sounding warnings as P. Trump seeks to bring America’s top universities to heel'

'Em declarações à agência Lusa, o presidente do IPO do Porto, Júlio Oliveira, avançou que o principal objectivo é promover a capacitação do país para passar a ser possível produzir células CAR-T em Portugal, ou seja terapias médicas avançadas.' www.publico.pt/2025/06/09/c...

'And there are definitely people in the administration, led by Stephen Miller, who simply hate immigrants — legal or not, it doesn’t much matter. White South Africans seem to be the only exception.' @pkrugman.bsky.social paulkrugman.substack.com/p/we-finally...

Excellent validation for building a physical movie collection.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

TRIF-mediated HIF-1α regulation exacerbates inflammasome activation under hypoxia in response to periodontitis-related bacterial infections, contributing to the progression of autoimmune diseases www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Help make sense of murky statistics for your readers, look at who participates in clinical trials, and talk to people with dementia as sources, not subjects, writes @marionrenault.bsky.social in this guide with @lizseegert.bsky.social, @charlespiller.bsky.social and others. 🧪

Data-integrity expert Elisabeth Bik noticed repeat structures in a 2019 Nature Communications paper by Peixin Yang. A deeper look revealed “multiple” issues across more than 20 of his papers. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/academia/mor...

ICE agents seen prepping in the parking lot of the Riverhead Fire Department this morning on Long Island. This comes a week after people in Huntington inquired why ICE was using the FD parking lot there to stage.

Current genomic deep learning models display decreased performance in cell type-specific accessible regions

One thing most of these tech oligarchs have in common is that they mostly got lucky with one idea just before or just after the dotcom bubble burst, and they've coasted on that success ever since. They mostly grow through buyouts rather than innovation. Yet they're treated as oracles and sages.

fun coincidence that ChatGPT goes down right before this story is released www.pcmag.com/news/chatgpt...

ICE started raiding the hotel they were staying in - interrogating cleaning ladies Good luck housing ICE agents in Los Angeles now

The Guardian is trying to send a mob of parents after Spielberg: 'Perhaps most notoriously of all, Korean company Pinkfong’s version of the children’s song Baby Shark is the most watched YouTube video of all time, racking up 15bn views and counting. No great white has ever caused that much trauma.'

BREAKING: The Pentagon said the deployment of National Guard members and Marines to protests over immigration raids in LA will cost $134 million.

Just out in Nature Reviews Genetics! From twin studies to microbiome GWAS to cutting-edge transcriptomics, we explore the cross-talk between our genes and the microbiome! Fun working together with @pamferretti.bsky.social @blekhman.bsky.social Kelsey Johnson www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to present the first review from my lab! Which mutations allow H5 influenza to jump into humans or other mammals? How close is H5 to a pandemic? This review has the answers and explains the molecular mechanism behind the mutations. Led by @fcapelastegui.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1099/jgv....
