Yes, as should our members of Congress. It's yet another measure of cowardice that all of them aren't screaming to the rafters about these cuts; "leopards' faces" hypocrisy notwithstanding, these will deeply and negatively affect their constituents' lives.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

www.bozemandailychronicle.com/opinions/gue... This piece by Anne Linn, a dedicated USAID worker and devout Christian, exemplifies the fundamental question we all are dealing with as Americans. Are we great because we have power ? Or because we use our power to do good ?

Apropos of nothing…I think it is important to remember that a subset of the America people lost their absolute shit because they thought NPR was spewing liberal propaganda on the 4th of July. And it was only a reading of the US Constitution.

To all the former federal employees with scientific or administrative expertise and who are looking for new opportunities in the NY state area, please send me your resume and details (jjentsch at binghamton dot edu)

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously. Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause." They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

American science and medicine has been thrown into chaos and uncertainty over the past week. Here are some stories to get up to speed. 1/12

Bill Chism presenting at NEWSS on the EPA’s ESA herbicide strategy

Honored to be recognized by NEWSS at our annual meeting.

With the start start of extension and professional society meeting season, I engage in a very important, yearly ritual… “Do these pants fit me?” Happy new year and go with god my weed science peeps.

Hi y’all, I’m a weed scientist with a focus on weeds and weed co trial in fruits and vegetables in NY state. While many growers are interested in herbicides for weed management (and I do study that), I am also focused on novel technology, such as electrical weeding.

People can debate what Jimmy Carter's political legacy was. But his human legacy was an astoundingly positive one, worthy of deep admiration.

Breaking news: Jimmy Carter, a no-frills and steel-willed Southern governor who was elected president in 1976, died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, according to his son. He was 100 and the oldest living U.S. president of all time.
