I am deeply ashamed that the U.S. is not among these defenders of Ukraine but deeply grateful to the other nations of the world who have stood up to fill the void we have left.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

So far, Hesgeth says US policy is surrender to Russian aggression, selling out Ukraine and US interests for nothing. They don’t even make a case for one of those quid pro quos Trump is fond of. What is the US, or Trump, getting from Russia after these gifts? Certainly not peace.

Mindset reset: Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life. If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Check out the new preprint from @sekharma.bsky.social! Also with @batsrkul.bsky.social (new to Bluesky!). Sekhar did a deep dive into which parts of an agonistic interaction are influenced by direct and indirect effects, from the physical to acoustic components.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

Why do some birds incorporate shed snake skin in their nest? Rohwer et al. suggest that the evolution of this unique but wide spread behavior is dependent upon nest morphology and most commonly observed in cavity nesting species. Read now ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Just reread the classic paper by Trivers & Willard - Natural selection of parental ability to vary the sex ratio of offspring - published in Science in 1973, one of the most cited papers ever in evolutionary ecology. And I just now noticed that Trivers was an NIH post-doc when he wrote it. #NIH

Here's a leaf-footed bug nymph with a sparkly blue booty. Maybe this is a means of confusing predators? Juveniles and adults can produce a defensive scent so it could be warning coloration too. (Acanthocephala terminalis) Tennessee #BlueBugs #BlueMonday
