Paenibacillus dendritiformis is captivating. Just look at that colony morphology! This "social" microbe forms dynamic communities that behave like a multi-cellular organism; with specialized cell differentiation, communication and linguistics. It reminds us what we can achieve when we work together.

The horrors persist but so do we. We are not the first people to be here, we aren't the first scientists to be persecuted, we aren't the first citizens to be oppressed. We have footsteps to follow, and shoulders to stand on! Fascism wins when you lose hope. To joyful persistence, my friends! ❤️‍🔥

If you're looking for book recommendations, The Furies by Elizabeth Flock has easily been my favorite read of 2025. Three incredible stories of sisterhood, resilience and a beautiful reminder that we make our own justice, we keep each other safe.

Fusobacterium nucleatum is a fascinating troublemaker. This organism is ubiquitous in the human mouth, making it a symbiotic member of the healthy, human microbiome! However, it may play a role in endometriosis, colorectal cancer and has even been implicated in preterm birth and neonatal sepsis.

Anyone doubting or downplaying what is currently happening to US science would do well to brush up on Lysenkoism and how it destroyed Soviet science and agriculture.

We are heartened by this call to action in Nature, one of the most respected journals in science. It urges the global scientific community to speak out on behalf of those being censored and support research as the US government shifts away from its historic leadership www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It is NOT normal to have measles deaths in a country with vaccine access and healthcare. RFK Jr is a liar. If you want to know what the measles outbreak means for you & your family & what action items you can take, I cover that in today’s article. ⬇️ news.immunologic.org/p/the-first-...

When it really comes down to it, the pro and anti-science crowds disagree on one, simple point: whether or not one dead child is too many.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Good morning ppl! If you remember history, the blitzkrieg failed because they out ran themselves and could not backfill the issues it created. Doge’s “dumbkrieg” is having the same issues. We are beating those fucks down! And yes, I’m coining the word Dumbkrieg. Fucking use it. Mock their asses!

Did you know you are 840x more likely to get sick from drinking raw milk than pasteurized milk? 96% of foodborne illness attributable to dairy is caused by unpasteurized milk despite only 3% of the population consuming it.....yet they lie to you and insist it is healthier. 😱

Lokiarchaeota provides a reminder that life doesn't really give a shit about human mechanisms of classification, and rarely fits perfectly into them. This complex archaea has features of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, and is described as "bridging the gap" between the two.
