This graph confirms what multiple cancer researchers told me: despite Trump admin claims, the NIH cut cancer research grants by 23% last year.

And it had the $$ from Congress!

The NIH simply failed to dole out many of the awards - another means to the admin’s *openly* stated goal of steep cuts. 🧪

Quantum mechanics over real numbers fully reproduces standard quantum theory Standard quantum mechanics employs complex Hilbert spaces, but whether complex numbers are fundamental or merely convenient has long been debated. For decades, real-valued equivalents were considered ...

🧪⚛️ Conclusion: Complex numbers are incredibly elegant, but they encode a deeper real geometric structure governing quantum interference. They are not a fundamental necessity!

🧪⚛️ Are complex numbers fundamentally required by nature, or just a mathematical convenience? Schrödinger himself thought the imaginary unit was a "profound joke." I am thrilled to share our new preprint: "Quantum mechanics over real numbers fully reproduces standard quantum theory." 🧵 1/6

"[we] had a quality problem long before LLMs...publish or perish, citation metrics as proxy for impact, volume as proxy for productivity... have been producing incremental, poorly checked, & sometimes wrong papers for decades"🧪🔭⚛️

How hidden contributions power modern research The people who work behind the scenes to keep research moving say that there should be more recognition for their roles.

Research of today is a team sport. Much of it depends on scientists in research-support roles who remain largely unseen, uncredited and frequently underpaid.

Research is an ecosystem; every niche needs to be recognised

What will a ban on most US hemp products mean? Ban forbids all products that contain more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per package – a trace amount present in most CBD products

Over the years, I’ve had to explain many times why some cannabis products are heavily taxed, heavily regulated and only sold in dispensaries, while others are readily available online and at gas stations.

The TL;DR is that lawmakers do not understand the science of cannabis.

Nearly 43,000 people commented on the DEA reclassifying cannabis. What did they say? Analysis shows 69% of commenters want the proposed rule change to go further and for marijuana to be decriminalized or legalized

Happy 420, everyone. I’ve been covering cannabis for for nearly two years now. Sharing some of my favorites.

Here’s one from way back in 2024, when it seemed like cannabis might actually be rescheduled.

Nearly 43k ppl commented, many wanting full legalization.

2 years later, still schedule 1.

Woman are second-class citizens in the USA. I'm white. I live in a good neighborhood. I know I have it better than most, and I am grateful. When I think of my sisters if color, or my trans girlfriends, i think about how much *more* they have to endure. It's why I protest and volunteer on campaigns.

They aren't files. Epstein and Trump ran a child trafficking ring. It should be treated as a crime, not a documentary with files. Law enforcement should arrest people who the children claimed raped them, simple as that!

“Thoughts and prayers” are how you make sure nothing is ever done. “Plans and efforts” are how you fix things.
