"This is fine.gif" Let's just say I had an interesting time trying to find a cognizant program officer on Tuesday - every time someone inside NSF referred me to someone else, within 10 minutes, the new email bounced as that person was removed from the system www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

In 2006 I plotted the number of Nature journals vs time and it sure looked like a Moore’s law: “the number of nature journals doubles every five years”. It’s slowed down to every 7.5 years, but we are still on track to get every scientist their own personal journal 🧪 #scipub

fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things: 1) "nah, I'm not doing that" 2) "nah, you're not doing that" a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should *really* start practicing the first one

#cryoEM Lena and I started working on this project almost 10 years ago, with @ktspoth and then Yue taking data. Lena passed away before she could finish the paper, even as other groups were finding it very useful. With Yue and friends we finally got something out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
