How do you pinpoint the moment when a brain makes up its mind about a decision?
@racheltompa.bsky.social wrote a lovely short article for the general public on answers found by @thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social and @timkimd.bsky.social when they were in my lab.

"this doesn't take away your rights, it means you have to sue to ensure your rights" isn't the most compelling argument
Oh my gosh, I love @joshgondelman.bsky.social as a stand up and author, but because I'm an editor (#wordnerd), um, this is right up my alley! Hilarious. I'm gonna need to find dirty strunk funk on a t-shirt too.

It would be great if America’s pundits would pause this entire genre. “Burning down my house means I don’t need to take out the trash!” Your cleverness is not winning the day right now.
This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?
The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
@clairewillett honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion 6:00 PM • Aug 12, 2020
once again I must tap my own sign
must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away
Seems like however bad the current NIH-funded science climate is, it's probably going to get a whole lot worse in short order. www.importantcontext.news/p/out-of-his...
There are a lot of things that are gross in journalism but the abject careerism and moral bankruptcy of the NYT reporters who jumped on the the youth gender medicine “story” is one of the more disgusting things I’ve witnessed
Wow. Now do science.
Fuck this, absolutely fuck this, everyone who loves audiobooks loves their favourite narrators because they are great at their jobs and interpreting the author's words and they make the experience what it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

I'm working on a story for @thesicktimes.bsky.social about how the latest NIH cuts to COVID-related grants are impacting scientists working on Long COVID. If you have info to share, please email, DM, or reach out on Signal (betsyladyzhets.25).
yeah, he sounds real caring.
One of these things is not like the others
Heck yeah Senator Murray!! Let's see this from ALL Dems!
Mark Kelly is a retired Navy pilot, astronaut, and dedicated public servant. He is a hero.
Elon Musk is a self-absorbed coward.
Hope that clears things up.

This is illegal, and it endangers the rights of all Americans.
In this country, people must be free to express their views — left or right, popular or unpopular — without being detained or punished by the government.
If Musk and his Technoboyz can't stop a cyber attack at X, maybe they shouldn't have access to our Social Security? Just brainstorming.
some helpful reminders:
-not all jews support israel
-criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic
-being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas
-arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment
-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad
There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.
A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this
