In addition to EVERY-FUCKING-THING ELSE The most vital of tools, the Biodiversity Heritage Library, is apparently homed at the Smithsonian. For obv reasons, the Smithsonian cannot retain it For free, you can access biodiversity-related texts going back to the 1400s! www.biodiversitylibrary.org

Change is in the air for BHL! In 2026, BHL hosting will transition away from the Smithsonian, opening doors to reimagine our future. Rest assured, our 63 million pages of biodiversity knowledge remain secure and accessible. Learn what's next for BHL ➡️

🧪Make no mistake, fascists are coming for #peerreview. Scholarly literature is not about “debate”, it’s about presenting reproducible evidence to solve problems. Peer review stands between funder bias & dissemination. Not perfect but paramount, everyone needs to understand how it works & defend it.

For those of us dealing with blood clots, or at the risk of clots (pregnant women, anyone post surgery or with cancer), meds like #eliquis are the difference between life & death. Tariffs threaten access to these life saving meds. @stoptheclot.bsky.social any plans to engage lawmakers officially?
