This week’s main story is about the budget and staffing cuts being made to public health agencies in the U.S. under RFK Jr.’s leadership, how those cuts will impact all of us, and some foolproof ideas for what scientists can do in the absence of totally superfluous stuff like, y’know, centrifuges.

It sometimes seems like a huge task to explain what’s being done to trans people to casual observers who don’t pay much attention to it, but Séamas does a great job here of plainly and succinctly explaining why you should be appalled

We really couldn't have asked for a better illustration of how affirmative diversity efforts were moving us closer to real meritocracy than watching an unapologetically white supremacist administration be a personnel trainwreck.
