Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

Happily Congress is not bound by SCOTUS’ understanding of “bribery” on which nothing qualifies unless you’re caught on video accepting a giant sack covered in dollar signs while hollering “THANK YOU FOR THIS CORRUPT QUID PRO QUO, I AM CURRENTLY DOING A CRIME”

Congress must act: Stop the Forest Service workforce dismantlement Tens of thousands of U.S. Forest Service employees represented by the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM) are urging members of Congress to oppose the Trump administration's announced ...

Please help us stop the illegal dismantling of the Forest Service actionnetwork.org/letters/cong... (we're the largest FS union representing 20,000 Forest Service employees including many of the ~7000 being forced to move) @altnps.bsky.social

The open end of my empanada after I bit into it. You can see transparent rice noodles with a yellow-orange colored kimchi and one small green leaf.

It's good. I expected more spice though.

I'm a Gobert stan, but Gobert has never been good with low passes.

We are so far beyond even Teapot Dome levels of "government captured by private industry" in this country, and Democrats genuinely seem to believe their unpopularity is driven by being too nice to trans people, instead of being driven by their screamingly obvious hypocrisy about this.

Exclusive: DOGE cuts prompt scramble to feed troops at remote US base The remote Army base is responsible for shooting down nuclear missiles targeting the United States.

In January this year the military was struggling to feed troops on a base in Alaska because of DOGE cuts.
In February this year 40 meals served to military members were tested and found pesticides and heavy metals in all of them.

These fuckin chuds

Naming your biology LLM after Rosalind Franklin is… hell is not hot enough

seriously hope when dems get back in power they go after every single fuck involved with DOGE

I picked Alex Kerfoot as my favorite Utah Mammoth player based solely on his name, but look at this- he's the Mammoth nominee for the King Clancy Memorial award two years running because he and his wife do cool things in the community. #girlshockey #boysandgirlsclub www.nhl.com/utah/news/ke...

Why is this article about interrupted military mail deliveries and not about the military deploying troops while NOT BEING ABLE TO SUPPLY FOOD TO THEM!?

It's the self awareness that she finds unattractive in liberal men.

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

Actually — Nixon historian here — the literal origins of the “Madmen Theory” is Nixon trying to convince the Soviet he’d nuke North Vietnam. Also: Nixon and Kissinger’s illegal bombing of Cambodia was one of his original impeachable offenses by Congress.

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

As someone who has been in the close confidence fighting circle of a woman who came forward against an elected a few years ago, I want to remind anyone for whom this news cycle is retraumatizing to take care of you. And check in, everyone, with your peoples.

Science is good. We should fund it.

That's a fair point, generally, but I don't mind watching in rebuild years. I may be an outlier in that respect.

I do, and I've watched fewer games than I have in the past. Significantly fewer. I used to watch 70+ games in a season and I've watched fewer than that the past two seasons combined.

My desire to watch games is directly related to whether I believe the Jazz are legitimately trying to win. I know the players on the floor are trying to win, but when the coach benches all the starters for the 4th quarter, it's hard to be invested and believe the team is making their best effort.

I really think Trump's Iran threat is a breaking point. We just learned that the GOP won't step up even when its leader threatens unthinkable war crimes and even genocide. This realization of powerlessness in the face of this madness will take a deep psychic toll.

Wildlife trade drives animal-to-human pathogen transmission over 40 years

New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I can't stop thinking about the fact that the President of the United States, just two days ago, threatened to kill an entire civilization and the national conversation has already moved on from it with a shrug.
