I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/

So tired of all the sad attempts at coy wordplay around people's names. This isn't a goddamned game at recess. I guess if you're like those acolytes who think "Let's go Brandon" is hilarious, you do you, but you're just as immature and emotionally arrested as they are. Blocking when I see it now.

Today (Feb 22) in 1943, three courageous young people in the group White Rose were executed for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets in Germany. Sophie Scholl: "The greatest damage is caused by the silent majority that just wants to survive, submit and go along with everything."

Accepting a graduate student in lab is a long term financial commitment, which is nearly impossible to make at this point. Also watch out for overall hiring slow-downs at all levels in science: you don't need a freezing hire for this to happen, it will start to take place organically - already has.

Bunch people accused me of misinformation saying they’re targeting the disease not the people with the disease. I’d like to ask: you think autism and ADHD and neurodivergence is a disease? And why exactly (and how exactly) do you think it’s ok to reduce the number of people with these conditions?

Look at this coward. His district is srsly gerrymandered (Waco&Lufkin are 162 m from each other). He set this "Town Hall" in the tiny town of Trinity, TX (pop <2500). It is the red dot in the gerrymander outline of the district.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Y’all, try a genuine “my ❤️ goes out to you” gesture. It does not end w/your arm stiffly extended up&out, palm down. A ❤️ sympathy offering is palm up, elbow tucked. No 1 “throws their ❤️”. Nazi salutes are extended, stiff-armed, palm-down...salutes. Hope this helps some headline writers out there.

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.
