Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

1. I study how science works as a collective endeavor to make sense of the physical world. I also study how misinformation about science spreads and affects society. There are fewer examples more poignant than a Minnesota bill that would criminalize mRNA vaccines as weapons of mass destruction.

Mourning cloaks have always been my favorite insect, for this exact reason! I remember growing up I'd always see them flying around even when there was still snow on the ground.

This statement from the NSF is insane. Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false. Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

It's been a big week in farm news everyone! I've got a couple pieces I'm really excited about. Just finished a response video for that MSNBC farmer interview. And I'm scripting up on a video on botanical sexism; how it's a scam; & what its popularity has to do with MAHA and Trump.

🧪The WH declares April as Cancer Control Month, affirming its commitment to cancer research. We see this BS while funding cuts hit home. Wayne State University lost 18 grants, worth $10m. Some impact cancer research. Bigger institutions are getting attention.This is nationwide. #science #cancer 🧫🧬

1. This is a thread about Horticultural Extrapolation. Not something you're likely to have thought about, but it's time some people did. What is it? It's projecting the mechanics of fruit and veg growing onto the entire food system. It's surprisingly common, and frequently leads people astray. 🧵

❣️ Community ❣️ I need your help! Does your department do "intro" videos where each faculty has a short video on who they are and what their research/teaching is? Or have you seen something like this? If so, can you share it here? THANK YOU!

I don’t care if conservative college students still feel like everyone hates them. They’re directly responsible for (and reveling in) grievous material harm done to countless members of their campus communities. That they thought people would like them more now just shows how out of touch they are.

Brief from the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and more than 80 universities says arrests and deportations of student protesters create a “climate of fear” at universities across the country. This is a big deal—the first time universities have weighed in. knightcolumbia.org/documents/eh...

To understand how the US plans to target activists and dissent, one needs just to read Project Esther, the document the administration is likely using to justify its deportations of student activists. It literally claims all supporters of Palestinians are terrorists. This is the blueprint.

It's hard to really wrap your mind around the depravity of the far-right. It's important to understand their whole political movement is based on brazenly lying. On top of being objectively evil, incompetent and stupid, they lie like they breathe.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.
