💯 I have news for a lot of people about where those tech companies and news forecasts get their data (they may be using their own expertise/algorithms to interpret the data and thus make predictions, but you can't interpret data that doesn't exist)

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA Ppl seem to think that "NOAA weather forecasts" means climate-, boat-, or "in addition to my app"-weather. But the weather forecasts we all use are made from the NOAA data we all paid for Make that part clear when you ⬇️

I’m thinking we should spread this news about the firings at NOAA as far and wide as possible. Like cancer research, weather forecasting seems likely to be broadly popular across the political spectrum. apnews.com/article/nati...

Moving to Ireland for my postdoc was the best decision I ever made! It happened to be during the 45th presidency, which was an excellent fringe benefit. 10/10 highly recommend. (Plus I got to hang out with John in Cork!)

Praying this is not the end of SABV. And I truly believe what I said in this article - that all of us recognize the benefits of including both males and females in our studies, regardless of policy. @ossdcomm.bsky.social @sbn-bsky.bsky.social #SexXmatters www.thetransmitter.org/policy/exclu...

As a grant reviewer and journal editor I will want to see SABV recognized by work and will bash grants and desk reject papers that only include males without justification, as I have always done. Peer reviewers can still require rigorous science, which includes the examination of sex differences.

Heads up! 🙆 There are a few things we will be covering this week in NIH news: - Why Jay Bhattacharya will be an absolute disaster for NIH. He hates NIH and “establishment science” — and if you’ve been NIH funded, that means you. - The ongoing destruction of NIH, esp intramural science. 1/2 🧪

To all people who value science as a source of truth, cures for diseases, and hope for our climate and future, here are 2 hard truths: 1) our current research ecosystem is already strained and very fragile; 2) If it gets broken it will take a generation or longer to repair. Here’s why: 1/n

not paying indirect costs for research is like only paying the players in the Super Bowl. can't have a Super Bowl without coaches, referees, security, janitors, announcers, stadium staff, and a stadium - and you can't have research without supporting people and facilities

🧠 Sex is often treated as a binary in #neuroscience, #psychology & #psychiatry, but this oversimplifies the realities of sex & gender - their impact on the brain. Our guidelines provide recommendations for rethinking how sex & gender are analysed. Webinar on this topic coming soon! 📖 loom.ly/VqIa8zw
