I like how as the oakleaf hydrangea blooms age they become pink

Thrilled to share our latest review on how the gut microbiome connects diet to health, now published in Nature Reviews Gastro & Hepa! Honored to co-sign this piece with outstanding PIs @eranelinav.bsky.social @jfcryan.bsky.social Yolanda Sanz Mélanie Deschasaux Rebekka Lambrecht rdcu.be/epret

We're fans of @briannosek.bsky.social & he nails the problem precisely, pointing out how the bulk of Trump's #FoolsGold Executive Order - "...goes off the rails. If you’re not using scientific evidence, ideology is what is left.” www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025... #StandUpForScience

“I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” Neither do we. But the N.I.H.—the world’s leading public funder of medical research—has canceled 1,389 grants and delayed over 1,000 more. The true cost won’t be known for decades. 🧵

Arthritis flare ups can fuck off right into the sun.

We need more voices making it clear the importance of science

"I was asked to talk about this today. I'm glad I was. I just want you to know that what you need to do... is call your representatives and make sure that these cuts are stopped." ⚡☎️⚡ Call to protect weather & climate science funding! --> 5calls.org/issue/climat...

Yesterday I forgot something on the stove and turned it to charcoal potentially ruining a favored pan in the pyrr-noca household. Through an epic effort my spouse has reclaimed the pan. We like it that much it seems.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

Somebody needs them some Chicory!
