🧵 I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is — for her 21st term! We need new leadership in the Democratic Party. Sign up for a Zoom call with me: www.saikat.us

My brother tells me that one of his buddies from college left his wife for a transgenic mouse he met in a lab. They all thought he was crazy, but he swore she was a knockout.

I DEFINITELY would not walk out at your university campus, go to your nearest rally site, or head over to DC on March 7th, wearing a mask... But hey. This is a free country and we have the 1st amendment to protect our right to protest. Your choice! #standupforscience2025

By cutting funding for USAID Elon Musk and Donald Trump are probably condemning one million children to die of starvation 200,000 to be paralyzed because they’ll likely contract polio And up to 18 million cases of malaria per year Which could cause another 166,000 deaths Pure unadulterated evil

When university leadership steps up, many tenured folks hop on the war boat (some even want to be generals). But if leadership doesn't, they’ll chicken out. The real action? Led by the youngest, Asst. Professors & trainees. That’s why they need to be in every damn committee

Vaccination eliminated measles from the U.S. 25 years ago. But it can still spread in pockets where vaccination rates are low, like the west Texas county with a current outbreak. Here's how fast.
