I wonder if LA28 is planning something similar

Rising costs didn't erode trust. Technology didn't erode trust. Biased admissions that have existed for a century didn't erode trust suddenly in the last decade. The self-censoring & campus speech stuff starts to get at the problem, but again, the root cause of that is not even mentioned here.

I say this every morning

I still think it’s wild how he was a regular on KPCC to represent mainstream conservative viewpoints.

You forgot Beryll

Science funding in the US is in a dire situation. It will take a generation to repair the amount of talent this administration drove out of the workforce.

Give to your favorite scientific society. Give big.

It doesn’t exactly pencil out but it’s a reason to give tax deductible donations to more worthy causes

Why is there a disconnect between officials and locals on the issue of affordability?

This combined with the trans exclusion stuff has really soured the experience. Local leaders should have been more in control.

The Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology (SUSE) and the SFS Urban Chapter are seeking contributors to two upcoming special issues centered around our 2025 meetings in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (1/4)

I suppose a new “god squad” could reverse the decision of a previous squad. But I think this is uncharted legal territory. Also I have zero legal expertise or training.

I don’t think so. From my understanding, the squad has the power to exempt activities from ESA, but that’s it. The president does have other powers “for good”, but not the god squad.

Conversion therapy is protected, but gender affirming care can be banned. Got it.

I feel like it’s one of those things where you ought to lose your license for life.

Oh right she stole a dog from an orphan

Are you seriously still giving oxygen to this guy?

What a shameful turn.

Remember when we all saw Elon do a nazi salute but then somehow just shrugged at his explanation?

Finally!

Close up of the 2 bats who are very detailed and in gray scale.

Close up of dog and cat. Dog is silhouette of real looking dog. Cat is definitely not a real cat with eyeballs, a nose, three legs in a weird pose and … fingers?

I appreciate that the scientists who made this both convey their results & their personal opinions on the taxa.
Bats = beautiful, majestic creatures worthy of our investigation & wonder
Rodents, monkey, dog, cow, donkey = meh
Humans = barely tolerable
Cats = laughable evolutionary mistakes, idiots

You Can Love 'Reacher' or Donald Trump, Alan Ritchson Made It Very Clear You Can’t Have Both: "Most vitriolic tribe" Alan Ritchson hates Donald Trump with a passion and calls out Christians who support him, even blasting the Catholic Church.

It only takes a second of googling. He’s very vocal about his beliefs.

He’s definitely not MAGA.

Saving it for the day it happens.

Happy Taxonomist Appreciation Day! Taxonomists are the folks who discover and name new species, identify species, and document the diversity of life on Earth both past and present. Learn more about why taxonomy and natural history remains a vital part of science in the era of big data in our paper🧪

It’s kind of a non neutral term to say it was a win for “parents rights”. You could also call it a loss for “student safety”.

Weird how he’s able to place all the blame on Israel for Trump’s decisions. I think I’ve seen this play before.

This is one of those cases where he is obviously lying but the media act like they have an obligation to repeat it.
