Hi greater Philly area folks, here's the link to the local site for this action. It will be 3/7 at 11am at City Hall. An important opportunity to make it clear that science in the US as we know it is in danger! Science is for everyone and benefits everyone. standupforscience2025.org/philadelphia...

In a preprint published today, we are excited to report the secondary structure of the 1212 nt fission-yeast S. pombe telomerase RNA, TER1, and its roles in the physicofunctional organization of this massive, flexible enzymatic RNP complex. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Commas matter. For example, the comma after the word "hell" below implies to me, "We are in hell. Indeed we are."

Big court win: judge rules Exxon, Shell, Chevron, BP and others must face claims by Puerto Rican towns in a RICO case alleging the companies engaged in a coordinated, decades-long deception campaign to conceal the true dangers of fossil fuel consumption. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

There is so much to love and fight for. So much goodness among us. The violence & hate seems insurmountable. But in the words of Elder Arvol Looking Horse: “Each of us is put here in this time & this place to decide the future of humankind. Did you think you were put here for something else?"

Happy #caturday! Do you think her cat bed is big enough?

Harken back to when we had this clear thinking White House science adviser who could understand and explain facts

The DOGE droogs on their way to work

It is imperative that we discuss what is happening with our trainees at all levels. What is happening will directly impact them.

kick-ass thread here 🧵 from the American Association of University Professors (AAUP)

Always so proud of Wesleyan (my Ph.D. alma mater). Thank you, President Michael Roth, for standing up to what universities are suppose to be about. I am totally stunned at the cowardice of most other administrators of other schools.

The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) against anticipatory obedience

one of my favorite things about Blue Sky, other than y'all, is that it is not trying to sell me products or get me to click on things! Facebook and Instagram are slot machines with no payoff (and you log off and end up spending money on products they advertise).

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
