I would seriously love 30 min in a bright alley in broad daylight with the person who decided the new #Biosketch format was a good idea.
Could be doing #research

Break some stuff that ain’t broke:
#biosketch bologna

Publications are being referenced in “Contributions to Science” from “Products Closely Related to the Proposed Projects” instead of “Other Significant Products that Highlight Contributions to Science”.

The govt decision to make us certify every Biosketch & Other Support page is a massive waste of time and energy. They should just assume if it’s submitted, we take responsibility for it. Period.
Creating bigger problems where there was no problem. Constant chaos, when we could be doing #research

Utah Becomes the New Center of U.S. Measles Cases

Shocking!
—said no scientist ever

Woooohoooo!!!! YESSSSSSS!
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Right. Remember when we had no money…. national debt was gonna break us, red ticker tape on Fox News 24/7, 5 alarm fire, and suddenly we have TRILLIONS for war. BILLIONS a day!
Yeah, this ends well, I’m sure.

Perfect case of not letting the data color your opinion.
You know what else doesn’t let new information change its mind?
Rocks!
Safe to say, rocks for brains.
Immovable. Unchanging. Resistant to information.
Has its value, sure. I love rocks!
But not for thinking or intelligence.

Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono names the people who have been pardoned by Donald Trump after they have donated to support his campaign and PACs in the Senate hearing on fraud.

"I call it corruption."

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Russel Vought is a nut job (to put it kindly) who has no idea what he is talking about (gain of function research! Comical!) and who has no understanding of indirects. Idiots, and that’s actually kind, because the consequences are outright dangerous, damaging, destructive and evil.

Heads up to the president: When things aren't going well for you, maybe don't attack the Pope.

Jimmy Kimmel on the Trump as Jesus post and the whole “I thought it was me as a doctor” lie: “I don’t know which is more offensive – how dumb HE is, or how dumb he thinks WE are?”

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

Major victory for cancer research funding in the battle against the current administration’s attacks!

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

Should be part of his next test.

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

Nationwide General Strike Planned for May 1: No Kings Organizer | Common Dreams Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin announces nationwide general strike on May 1 in next No Kings mass action.

There’s already a date onboard for a general strike

May 1st, National Strike

No work, no school, no shopping

I have so many words about this.
And I think its effects could be bigger than they seem on the surface.

My book preview (not AI generated)

BREAKING: GENERAL STRIKE

The economy only works if we do.

Friday, May 1
🚫No work
🚫No school
🚫No shopping

You in? 🤚🏽

Keep in mind that it took a not insubstantial amount of money to do this.

Don’t let them make America an “either/or” place.
You can grow up on a farm shoveling horse manure and painting steel fence at 4am, born to parents who didn’t finish 4-yr college, and become a (pretty good?) scientist who went to MIT and happens to enjoy good coffee.
That should still be America.

Aside from the ugly Real Folkz nonsense, the name of the party is the "Democratic Party" & normal, pro-democracy political parties don't keep intentionally using other parties' wrong names to delegitimize them, just like they don't make mass voter suppression the center of their policy platform.

I’m old enough to remember how they handled Charlie…

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are.

The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war.

We always find the money for war.

But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

Shout out to all the guys with charts who told me there was no way we were undercounting while I watched nursing homes and hospitals refuse to test and send my friends’ elderly relatives home to die of “respiratory illness” to keep their official numbers down.

There are many problems with this statement from Director Bhattacharya.

(1) As @michaeldgreen.phd notes, applicants have no option to requests multi-year funding.

An applicant may request a front-loaded budget with more funding in early years with justification (may or may not be approved).
