If you were someone pinging critics with ‘it’s just lighting cleanup’ a few days ago, I need you to use this as a jumping off point to thinking about your susceptibility to talking points and marketing rhetoric more generally. It was right there in front of all of our faces.
🚨 Requesting help:

SO! I humbly request that you buy a shirt and/or repost this so everybody sees them 😘

This is already how games work if you are over 35

If your perception is that all interactions are transactional and that there is no such thing as sincerity of curiosity, or a desire to discover, then you will never value science.
No matter how many economic arguments there are for funding it.
Because you don’t understand the fundamental premise.

A lot of great people doing important work just lost their jobs because the most destructive, bigoted, willfully ignorant people in the world have targeted them. Here's what you can do to support yourself or anyone you know who lost a job. Please add your own advice at the end of the thread <1/n>
It's Trans Day of Visibility, so are you a trans gamedev? Reply with your games, and let's see if we can't get you some visibility? Please include a description of your game, introduce yourself if you feel comfortable doing so, and very importantly, a link to your game or work.

It's Trans Day of Visibility. Unfortunately for many trans people in the world right now, visibility means violence. I am grateful that it's relatively safe for me to be trans, to yell loudly for our rights, and to use my position to try and make polar science a safer place for all. #TDOV 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.
globally, there are ~3500 described mosquito species in the Culicidae family and many of these are important vectors of disease but only a small percentage have genomic resources. we are launching a pilot project to generate high quality reference genomes for 100 important mosquito species [1/3]

I started out our lab meeting today with a ~15 min summary of what the NIH does, indirects, current attacks on the NIH, and what we can do to fight.
Some of my lab members follow the news, some don't, but I think they were all highly interested in learning. Happy to send these slides to anyone
Oh, it certainly is. But we will know more soon with more data.
We owe Mike Lauer, (former) Deputy Director for Extramural Research, a huge debt of gratitude for getting the NIH grant-making processes running again in what must be a very stressful political environment.
THANKS MIKE AND NIH STAFF!
