Lmao an administrator at my uni sent an email expressing “concern” about how many “unsuccessful” grants our division was submitting 🙄

Some of them have absolutely no idea

We are looking for a full time post bacc RA here at Penn State to work on a NIDA R01 project. Should have human subject experience, experiences with doing interviews/ assessments, neuroimaging sessions and/ or EMA is a plus!

There needs to be a giant billboard in every major American city that touts this. In any other era except this suicidal science administration, this would be a miraculous, wondrous thing.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

A star scientist showed that better genetics lessons could reduce racism. It was the death knell for his career Brian Donovan had persuaded high school teachers and education researchers that prejudice might be ended by changing how genetics is taught.

A star scientist showed that better genetics lessons could reduce racism. It was the death knell for his career. Thank you, @mmolteni.bsky.social for sharing Brian's story. He is a generational talent, indeed, and has inspired my own educational activities deeply. www.statnews.com/2026/04/07/b...

This is so, so well-articulated.

WOW! Couldn’t have wished for a better response!
If you haven’t tried @qedscience.bsky.social yet, it works on pretty much anything you’re writing in biology and medicine.

The reason this position has been so much fun is because you get to work with lots of different people you might otherwise not have.

And those people are creative and innovative. All three societies are hungry for ways to bring new value to members via meetings.

Anyway, apply!

tl;dr: NIH is running at about 60% of pre-Trump levels and NSF is running at about 20% of pre-Trump levels of funding-outlays (some directorates far below even that). Utterly catastrophic. An unforced disaster for U.S. society, and the world

Pi Day reminder: math isn’t scary… it’s just irrational sometimes.
Kind of like debugging code at 2am.

Happy #PiDay to everyone who knows that π keeps going… just like engineers solving problems. 🥧🤖 #STEMSaturday #BlackSky #STEMSky #NoireSTEMinist #Engineering #STEM

This is a very important read, with lot's of tragic but important information about how NIH is censoring good science that is nor serving Trump's personal agenda. I am sad to see Jon Lorsch apparently involved with this 🧪

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

A photo of a farm worker in the field with her hands making a heart with a Valentine's Day frame with little hearts around it and the words over the photo love the hands that feed us. Protect farm workers.

The Trump administration’s attacks on H-2A wage protections make it harder than ever for farm workers to earn fair pay. This #ValentinesDay, remember: Love means justice. Love means protection. Stand with farmworkers. Show love to the hands that feed us. ❤️#WeFeedYou

CU signs $2M OpenAI deal for ChatGPT access Students and faculty will gain access to ChatGPT Edu starting in March under a three-year deal.

My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity

"Geo" shared this vid from where he's picking oranges. "Our sacks weigh 60 pounds when full. We start at 11am - after after the dew dries and work to 5. We earn $24 per 900 lb bin. It's hard to pay our bills with this pay and reduced hours because of the morning dew." #WeFeedYou

Exclusive | OpenAI Executive Who Opposed ‘Adult Mode’ Fired for Sexual Discrimination Ryan Beiermeister, who served as the vice president leading OpenAI’s product policy team, had raised concerns about the upcoming launch of erotic content.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
