If your state isn’t represented among the plaintiffs, call your state’s AG office *right now*. Here’s an example script, filled in with info for OK: Hi there, my name is ___, I live at ___. I work as a ___ at ___. 🧵

Get in Dorks, we are going protesting. STAND UP FOR SCIENCE. MARCH 7th 12-4pm. DC AND YOUR STATE CAPITALS. More information to come.

What's happening is precisely outlined in Project 2025. Read it to understand what's coming next. None of this is a surprise. Also, I know this is extremely unnerving if u weren't expecting this. But let's not panic. Let's organize & give this the best fking fight of our lives.

We need leadership to help organize, mutual aid, general strikes, vocalization, mobilization. We need to make ourselves heard and help each other, now. Contact the people closest to you that you can trust. We have to act, now.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Couldn’t focus this afternoon *for some reason* so we burnt off some energy getting the biggest possible stick. A common persimmon - Diospyros virginiana - we unfortunately had to remove to prevent Lola from an obstructed bowel (would not stop eating the fruit, which are ~1% flesh and ~99% seeds!)

🎄spending the day with @veronicarichards.bsky.social, making espresso martinis for my family and slipping Lola strips of ham

TE-exonization is really in the spotlight today! Right after reading through @yarribas.bsky.social et al exciting paper on human proteome expansion by TEs bsky.app/profile/yarr..., this marvelous meticulously dissected example from @edchuong.bsky.social

Pathetic! (I love them)

As I start writing up my first paper in the world of human genomics, I thought I’d share my last preprint on parent-of-origin intragenomic conflict in reproductive caste determination in honey bees 🧪🧬🖥️🔄🐝 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #Genomics #Epigenomics #Entomology #Evolution

It’s been a year since I last opened bsky and MAN it’s great to see how it evolved! Deleting X for good, so reintroducing myself here. I’m a postdoc with @arjunbhattac.bsky.social at MDACC, using functional + statistical genomics tools for studying cancer & development. 🧪🧬🖥️🔄

Hey 🟦 place! I'm a 5th-year PhD candidate at Penn State, my projects examine the transcriptional and gene regulatory basis of phenotypic variation (in 🐝 bees), focusing on intragenomic conflicts. I'm ISO academic & industry positions in bioinformatics. See seantbresnahan.com for more info. #HiSciSky
