“Everybody’s using AI for everything nowadays, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square, and then resurrected virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/o...

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
More context on this #Artemis II image:
* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right
* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Most disturbing scene in the whole movie!
Mike Bishop at his 90th birthday party surrounded by former trainees. Feb 23rd, 2026, Larkspur, CA
Devastated to learn of the passing of the great cancer pioneer J. Michael Bishop.
Mentor and friend, it was only a few weeks ago we celebrated his 90th birthday.
He taught us that the seeds of cancer lie within us and spent his career combating cancer. 🧪

The sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when those warm winds start to blow. It’s going to be a rough fire season in the west.
I've interviewed more than a dozen hydrologists and climatologists across the West the past 10 days.
A sense of panic is starting to set in. Wildfires and water shortages will start mounting this summer. Adverse impacts are expected from not only this heat wave, but the historically warm winter.
I spent yesterday afternoon sitting with the NYT investigation of Cesar Chavez. & as a survivor of unreported sexual assault, I empathized so much with the women who were told over and over again to shut up for the sake of the greater good. www.coyotemedia.org/kill-the-her...
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

A heads down approach will not save science. We need to speak up, live our values, and demand integrity.

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning. https://spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-syllabi/
In case anyone needs it for their syllabi, my statement in gen-Ai from the minicomic I made as a syllabus for class last semester. All online and printable here spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...
This latest study would be a great reason for people like @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and @govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov and everyone else arguing against trans inclusion in sports to change position and prove they’re not just being phobic or pandering to the center www.iflscience.com/review-of-52...
This is heartbreaking 💔
Should biology put complexity first? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... - excellent essay by @philipcball.bsky.social. I would add epistasis to polygenicity and pleiotropy as a ubiquitous and fundamental phenomenon, not some optional complication that we can try to account for afterwards
“Science has always claimed to study the future. Indigenous peoples have always planned for it,” Tsosie says. “We are at a turning point in genomics, AI and precision health. The question is not what we can build, but who science is built for.”
Let's get this hashtag started! The 2026 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Meeting is happen this August! We will share updates using #SCDB26.
Can't wait!

Three panel comic of two men talking. "We invented a robot that answers questions." "we hust have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day." "But it answers the questions correctly?" "Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no no"
A cherry cordial center for a semi-spherical chocolate runs out on a white background. The cherry occupies some of the space, but most was clearly liquid.
Chocolates with liquid centers are made by adding a yeast-derived enzyme, INVERTASE, to fondant or semi-solid sugar sludge, which breaks disaccharide sucrose into fructose and glucose which are more soluble in water.
These fillings have to age for several days to be fully converted.

We should also note that these vaccines were limited to the most vulnerable populations or not approved at all due to these rare side effects (1 in 200,000). And now this detective work will help ensure future vaccines are even safer. Truly important work!
Ilia Malinin legally landed a backflip on one blade at the Olympics, but let’s not forget Surya Bonaly did it FIRST in 1998, knowing she’d be penalized. Her courage broke barriers in a sport that wasn’t ready. Black athletes set the tone. Let’s honor them accordingly. ✊🏿
“We reach for [these tools] because our world is asking for altogether too much: too much work without the time to do it well, too much caregiving without the community infrastructure to support it, and too much pressure to perform academically without the foundational skills to make it possible.”

In December, I told you about how Trump’s Department of Education is stripping nurses of our professional status and making school more expensive.

White people are putting Mexican flag stickers on their cars to get pulled over and waste ICE's time.
They call it "ICE fishing."
