Really appreciate @aaas.org public leadership on this. These cuts are not inevitable. The Science community is both powerful and fragile Contact your US Senators and Reps! #chemsky youtu.be/DA1OGnk2kwk?...

Spiders are very sensitive to vibrations, it's how many of them hunt. So they aren't big on background noise, it drowns the signal they actually look for. Adaptation - spiders living in urban/loud environments make webs that dampen persistent noise. 🧪 Beats earplugs. 🙉 www.cell.com/current-biol...

The man at left separated the mother and baby at right. The mother is now in Venezuela. Baby daughter, in foster care in the US, exact location unknown. Dad? He's in CECOT prison without trial — because he had tattoos.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

I really really want to stress that novovax is the covid vaccine preferred by a lot of people in the disability advocacy space. Disability advocates have pushed hard to maintain access for this vaccine that's not as well known as Moderna or Pfizer, but is better tolerated by a lot of people

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen. Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

This Saturday is Independent Bookstore Day, a tradition that has happened every April for 12 years. For the first time, Amazon is hosting Amazon Book Sale on the same day which is a cowardly, calculated move to hurt indie book stores. Don’t let them win. Support an indie book store on Saturday.

You know, with Amzn and B&N trying to run sales over Independent Bookstore Day, this seems like a pretty good week to crow about the cool stuff we do here. We're proud of this stuff, so we should tell you about it. So here's a thread...

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

It’s weird that every day, major media outlets (NYTimes, WaPo, NPR, Reuters, CNN) are not leading w/a headline that reads something like… “ONGOING CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS: POTUS Continues to Defy US Supreme Court order, now XYZ days in a row.” They should be shouting it. Every. Single. Day.

We have arrived in El Salvador. Trump is illegally arresting, jailing, & deporting people with no due process. We must hold the Administration accountable for these illegal acts and demand Kilmar’s release. Today it’s him, tomorrow it could be anyone else. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I know, this is one of those wild resistance lib-brain ideas, but everything about this, and everything about the IRS Commissioner appointed without Trump's knowledge, shows we are clearly in 25th Amendment territory and we should stop pretending otherwise. It should be said over and over.

If I were a senator, @democrats.senate.gov I would be ON A PLANE to either Bluebonnet in Abilene or Harlingen NOW where Trump is about to send more people to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act with no meaningful due process.

God I hate protein naming conventions. “What’s this one called?” “Smoothened.” “SMOOTHENED?!” “Yep.” “What about that one?” “MAP kinase.” “Did you say MAP kinase?” “Perhaps you’re thinking of MAP kinase kinase?” “What??” “Or MAP kinase kinase kinase?” (Yes all of these are real proteins)
