Just submitted a question about how to protect our scientists, government funding, and their research from the catastrophic effects of the WH and DOGE to @georgewhitesides.bsky.social for his virtual town hall tomorrow. Our national leadership in science is at stake. Our scientists need our help.

Just drove my daughter to soccer. Took the 14 to the 5, got on the 170, then off at Oxnard. Then took Laurel Canyon to Burbank. Then the fields.

Promise: Next person I hear recommend a SpaceX launch vehicle for their project gets an atomic wedgy.

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

Wow. This post from a Ukrainian soldier says it all.
