Artificial light can disorient birds.

Reminds me of the group shaming sessions we used to have in the ICU during COVID when we would select all unvaxed patients, deprone them, turn off their vents and d/c any anesthesia. So much fun.
Here’s a great clip for all you bored feds who got fired/RIFed/however removed so you could get an exciting, well-compensated private-sector job.
Gotta love those bugs.
I was kidding. Just seeing all the mainstream media articles re: how everyone is happy with their taxes this year, which I think is probably not based on any real data.
Look at that adorable li’l eye.
Refund? People got refunds?
Aaron, thanks so much for doing this. I tried to listen to the Youtube video of this but couldn’t get past the first 40 minutes, even w/ fast forward. You are a Godlet.

Dear Member of Congress: The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) are deeply grateful for the longstanding bipartisan support from Congress for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We want to inform you of current and likely impacts of delays and changes in funding policies and procedures for NIH grants. Our concerns relate to the following areas within NIH: • Massive reduction in notice of funding opportunities • Delays in funding processes and inadequate capacity to administer grants • Increase in forward funding of multiyear awards in year one • Delays and potential lapses in funding for large clinical trial networks and clinical trial units Lack of transparency around permitted international collaborative partners for research projects • Disproportionate impact of grant terminations on vulnerable populations, especially women and people of color
U.S. infectious disease research is on the brink. Without immediate action from Congress, much of it will cease to exist within a year.
For example👇
1️⃣ No collaborative RFAs posted for >1 year (normal: many / year).
2️⃣ No foreign collaborators allowed on grants.

The hardest thing abt finally giving up my medical license was losing the luminous left hand. Or maybe the horned sky demon. . .
Donald Trump, healer of white people, depicted as AI Jesus w/ white robe and red supplice, beaming a light at a old white guy’s head for some reason. He is surrounded by the Statue of Liberty, Bald eagles, an American flag, fighter jets and a weird troop of sky demons. A disembodied hand in the lower left corner has an incipient extra digit.
WTAF. Extra AI digit and weird sky monster noticed.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.
Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

Wishing this fabulously competent—and joyful—crew a safe return to a planet that, frankly, doesn't deserve them.
