This post on the implications of Trump's most recent executive order is worth reading. If this analysis is correct, we've lost a major part of our government to tyranny: www.reddit.com/r/50501/comm...

On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I'm always confused when students in my 300-seat intro class come up to me and, without introduction or context, ask "Did you get my email?"

I had the Skyline chili ice cream today at Graeter's. Weird, but good. It even has oyster crackers in it! I didn't ask for the onions and cheese, though.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Grateful to The Scientist for listening to my story and amplifying our concerns regarding bans on NIH communication and govt funding. www.the-scientist.com/freeze-on-ni...

This whole thread is fascinating and worth reading. For fellow Bluesky users, it should also be noted that a conservative backlash is proposing that banning Twitter links is a conspiracy orchestrated by Bluesky. #reddit #bluesky #twitter

From my reading, Trump's executive order regarding gender and sex reads that your sex is defined by what gametes you produce "at conception." Since no one produces gametes at conception, does this mean we're all non-binary?

People who don't like the word boycott can just think of it as taking a break from Zuck's sites (Facebook, Instagram, Threads). Bluesky has such a better atmosphere. #BoycottMeta #MetaBoycott #BoycottFacebook #BoycottFB #BoycottIG #BoycottInstagram #MetaBlackout #BlackoutMeta #ZuckSucks #boycott

It’s snowing in Lexington this morning. I had fun telling my kids that school is called off tomorrow. I took them a minute to figure it out. #snow

Our #Christmas tree skirt has this pattern of two loving cardinals. But aren’t only male cardinals red? That’s why I call it my secretly #LGBTQ+ ally Christmas decoration. #ornithology
