it was a weapon created by the chinese and also it’s no worse than a common cold and more people died from the vaccine than the disease itself which isn’t real.

Bad news: My youngest no longer calls her favorite cereal “foogies.” No idea where she got that word, but it was super cute. Good news: She now calls them “ducky charms” which is also pretty great.

This is a great thread with super practical advice: pre-tenure PIs need to emphasize any and all wins and more senior PIs need to push back on unrealistic expectations about productivity. Despite all that is happening, we can still be a community that takes care of each other

I've already had two federal grants terminated and face a 33% pay cut due to future terminations. It's painful, but not as painful as the conversations I'm having every day with brilliant trainees in graduate school and postdoctoral positions who see little future for themselves in US science.

I seriously can’t process the fact that we’re going to live in a country without reliable public health data. Absolutely insane.

I love how every Democratic messaging is “don’t give up hope, we can get through this together” Followed almost immediately with the Hope Killing Act of 2025 being passed by unanimous consent

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

This is the most openly corrupt act by a sitting President in the history of America. It is now 4.40 PM - and Politico, WaPo and NYT are simply refusing to cover it. NYT wrote 35 articles speculating on the POSSIBLE corruption of Clinton Foundation. Which was never found.

So @swilua.bsky.social if you’re open to a little constructive feedback on your witchcraft skills, you did fantastic on the kindergarten stuff because kid loves it and doing great at reading. But…uh…whatever you tried regarding NIH grant funding…

It's simply untrue that, compared to 2017 mass resistance, we are seeing mass quiescence. February '25 saw 2x as many protests as Feb '17. This data doesn't include Bernie 'fighting oligarchy' huge rallies, or the disruptions at GOP & Dem town halls. But there are differences 1/3

I'll try and have a go at a few simple lessons learned, its quite sad these need to be repeated. 1) NPIs work. 2) If they are needed, the sooner they are implemented, the more lives saved, and the shorter they need to be.

We shall postpone fighting on the beaches, we shall keep an eye on the landing grounds, we encourage everyone else, should the right circumstances come, to fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall eventually retreat to the hills; we shall never explicitly surrender.

The President has ignored Congressional appropriations, closed Congressionally-created agencies, and is grabbing people off the street without any judicial process and sending them to a foreign labor camp while boasting that he won't follow a court order telling him to stop. I think we're there.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡

About fifty years ago, NASA strapped a message in a bottle to a rocket and flung it into the deep dark It wasn’t supposed to go this far, but it did. Long past its mission, it’s still out there so far away now that a simple hello takes a day to reach it, and another day to hear if it says hello back

my outsider perspective on US politics is that it seems like i spend 4 years getting told the democrats can't do the thing because they need just one more vote, and then the republicans get in and can do whatever they want because half of the democrats vote with them

The revelation that Bandit is a full-blown PhD academic has shaken me. This had been implied before, but still hearing someone say “Doctor Bandit Heeler” was truly jarring. How is he a successful academic and still so happy?? How does he have such good work-life balance?!?! HOW???
