On this Black History month, let’s honor, Kiah Duggins who was killed in the plane crash headed into DC. She was the founder of The Princess Project, a college readiness program targeted towards underrepresented high school girls in Kansas. She was headed home to start teaching at Howard University.

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Read this excellent thread by @jabarocas.bsky.social In another life, I wrote grants for a small biotech company. Small business/innovation grants from the NIH were a lifeline. I mean, what the bloody hell??? (1/)

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.

An appreciation post for @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social, who has devoted her political career to tackling violence against women. Elon Musk’s attack on her is ignorant & defamatory. Every year in Parliament, around International Women’s Day, Phillips reads the names of women killed by men that year.
