Future research may reveal more about how brightness levels in shallow waters affect slug survival. Since some species rely on colorful hints to broadcast their poison, changes in light could tilt the scales in favor of camouflage instead. www.earth.com/news/s...

I don't get why none of the foundations I've written grants for in the last 2 years want to fund me. I try so hard. I get good results. I get a lot done for not a lot of money. I integrate science & art, am good at community organizing, & get science into places where there currently isn't much.

The primary function of Trump's executive orders is to serve as propaganda, and overall, the press is enabling that.

As part of their plan to GUT the science mission at NASA, Trump and Musk want to cancel the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope — a critical project that is on time, under budget, and nearly finished. They want to flush those taxpayer dollars down the drain. How is THAT efficient?

I'm begging everyone affected by this to please consult with an attorney (your attorney, not your employer's). I'm not an expert on NSF but their attempts at terminating EPA and DOE have been extremely legally dubious, so I would bet this could be defeated in court too.

All of the federal grant terminations I've seen are like this: unlawful and directly contradicting what Congress enacted. It's not like agencies are just giving out money for no reason. The press coverage just calls them "cuts" and Congress is failing to make this clear for reasons unknown to me.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.
