this is monstrous but it's also just not true. i know that gets lost but the permission structure here is "other countries do this," so it's at least worth acknowledging: no they don't.

Indeed I’m fearful. We aren’t testing much any more. We’re firing everyone in govt who can help and stripping funding from academic & industry scientists who can fill the gaps. H5N1 is a real threat & US policy puts us all at risk. Me & colleagues Kay Russo, Kamran Khan, & Keith Poulsen discuss👇🏻

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences. Read the AMS statement, in partnership w/ @nwas.org: bit.ly/4cz2RtC

The CFPB is one of those things where like, virtually every single person in the United States would support its existence if they were told the truth about what it is/does. Or used to do, I guess.

Yup. They'll send a legitimately awful US citizen to CECOT, and anyone who criticizes it will be accused of supporting the awful person... and then they'll send someone slightly less awful. Eventually, they'll have established that they can send anyone.

I was told by dozens of academics that they were too scared to talk to me for my reporting on the NIH’s sweeping cancellations of LGBTQ-related research grants. Those who did talk to me did so because they had nothing left to lose or were quite senior in their careers.

As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

Recap for monster hunter! The group this time set out with Kleia, their handler, to investigate a nearby cave system called the Tidepool Caves. The caves are said to be home to the Mala Otra, a giant semi aquatic snail like creature. Kleia advised against hunting it unless necessary.

The last time RFK Jr exerted his influence over a measles outbreak (Samoa 2019), 83 people died, mostly children under the age of 5. These deaths are all preventable with the MMR vaccine. Everyone who voted to confirm RFK Jr knows this & must be accountable for it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/h...

I have had it up to here with people who complain that NIH-funded research hasn’t made enough progress or contributed enough. The generations of amazing scientists trained in US programs—who have gone on to work in government, academia, & industry alike—are a priceless return on investment.

AlphaFold’s highly accurate structural models transformed protein biology. Nature reports on the efforts to create a similar system for RNA and why it’s a tougher nut to crack. #RNAsky 🧪
