I want to see his genetics curriculum
"It’s a story with useful lessons to offer about the history of genetics education in the U.S. and the growing divide between how much universities say they value interdisciplinary research and how poorly their internal structures are set up to reward it."

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability
On the 58th anniversary of Dr. King's assassination, it's time to reckon with the media's troubling role in the civil rights struggle. (I pitched this to @nytimes.com who found it "fascinating..[but] the news is making deeper & certainly more historical pieces very hard." But they're the news.) A 🧵
The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes.
In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist.

To go with the Tom Dundon story from earlier today
We never would have taken them to the hospital in the first place had we known the truth.
My child spent over a week in lockdown in the ER because there were no heds available anywhere in our state. By the time a bed opened, the crisis had passed, but my child was still sent for two weeks to a psych ward because that was procedure.
I wish we had known the true horror of "getting help."
Stories about life inside ICE's family detention center in Dilley, Texas, are hard to come by. But @julialurie.bsky.social reviewed hundreds of pages of sworn oral declarations given by detained children and their parents about conditions at the facility.
This is Dilley, in their own words:
NEW: As Oregon weighs an $870M investment to rebuild the Portland Trail Blazers’ arena, emails reveal that new owner Tom Dundon was directly involved in practices the state’s attorney general described in a 2020 news release as “predatory and harmful.”

No broken bones. Feeling the 3 bruised ribs and sprained ankle today, though.
This crash could’ve been deadly for me, the Hounds, and the owners of the other cars, had they been inside.

Just donated at the Neighbor level.
Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism.
(This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)
Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling
There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.
It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.
LET'S GO!!!
I was able to make a donation today in his honor. A luta continua
They know that many people in the US will accept the killing of civilians overseas but will draw the line at high gas prices.
An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.

This is exactly what I meant when I said hockey culture’s issues are not isolated to just one country.
Time and time again, men’s hockey media has shown that the only tough questions they’re willing to ask are ones related to a team’s performance ON the ice.
They can and should do better.
