“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.”
This is why we should fund science. 🧪
If popping my collar is wrong I don’t want to be right 😎
Next time I get a coffee...🕺
It was - no joke - the best hotel room cup of coffee I’ve ever had!
A big thank you to @jennkong.bsky.social for hosting me at UW Biochemistry! I got to hear about so much cool science! 🧪
Seattle hotel room coffee makers aren’t messing around. Respect. 🫡

Hooking this up with the bird feed 🪶
Tonight’s shaping up to be a good migration night. BirdCast is forecasting in the 90million area, but I think it’ll easily break 100 million tonight. Nice 30-40mph south winds forecasted up in the 2000-3000 ft elevation range is the perfect boost for birds.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.
I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.
I watched the Billy Idol documentary on Hulu.
I have always been an Idol fan...and love him even more after watching. One of the best rock docs I've seen.
Billy F****** Idol ✊
Reminds me of a post I saw some years ago from a tourist in a Welsh pub. A drunk patron there kept going on about "Ed" being the source of all of his problems.
Tourist asked the bartender if there was any danger for Ed, given how upset he was. Reply was, "He's talking about Edward 1 of England."

I started covering this last year, and I can't overstate how important this is: the Trump administration officially labeled some of the most commonly-used forms of birth control as 'abortion' jessica.substack.com/i/173447780/...
It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception:
It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.”

Instructions for making mosquito-killing buckets. Cheap, effective, and won't harm butterflies, fireflies, pets, or birds like pyrethroid sprays do. Spring is a great time to set them out. #mosquitoes colinpurrington.com/2024/08/bti-...

That's it, that's the tweet.

Here is a submission for #tricolor #birdoftheday - black bellied whistling ducks in Memphis, TN. Their coloring makes me think of a cappuccino 😍 🪶
Another massive movement of migratory birds underway tonight — nearly 1 Billion Birds! With the full moon, you might be able to see some silhouettes zipping by. You can make your own flow maps here (just hit record): aeroecolab.com/uslights
Happy #FluorescenceFriday all!
