Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin
Confetti, trophy, Golding's Gatorade bath, and the awards ceremony stage it was all so funny to watch
The first time the trophy and confetti was already on the field when they made everyone go back for the onside kick attempt 😂
Insanity.
There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom
Honestly, if we win, great, very funny. If we lose, everyone will be extremely mad all over again, which, also great, also very funny.
The case for Alabama:
they are my favorite team & therefore deserve to be in
It's bs if the teams sitting out are in and we're punished for playing it.
This is truly awful. I have served in the university media board for 3 years and saw how brilliant and committed the student editors of these magazines were to quality and integrity. This is such a loss for the university community at large. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Episode 46: Sapiens
It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.
Thanks to Congress slashing funding for PBS, Alabama Public Television, the nation’s oldest public educational network, may sever ties with PBS, which would effectively kill the network. www.al.com/news/birming...
Socioeconomic roots of academic faculty
Tenure-track faculty are up to 25 times more likely to have a parent with a Ph.D. Moreover, this rate nearly doubles at prestigious universities and is stable across the past 50 years.

Tweet from @PPathole Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart. Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don’t recognize.
like basically everyone who works in software I embody this tweet and do not under any circumstances want to talk to my computer
Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

Biology is much more complicated than most non-biologists can imagine. And AI is not going to change this anytime soon.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Biogeographic ancestral area reconstruction, with pie-charts at the nodes of a phylogeny indicating estimated marginal probabilities for each region. This phylogeny excludes a bunch of species whose distributions reflect human activity and whose pre-anthropogenic-movement distributions are unknown. The main result is that there's a lot of red (Oceania) in the deeper nodes of the Elegans Supergroup. There's other colors too, to be sure.
Surprisingly, the phylogeny implies (equivocally, to be sure) that the Elegans Supergroup of species, which includes C. elegans, is derived from American ancestors, and that a lot of the groups diversification may have taken place in Oceania, prior to subsequent invasions of Asia.
C. elegans is a real animal and we set out to understand how it comes to have its distinctive biogeography. Its ancestral center of diversity is in the higher elevation forests of Hawaii. Its closest relatives are spread across east Asia. Did they travel from Asia? [Preprint 🧵]
My experience (also alabama) was that they're giving covid vaccines no questions asked here.

Vaccines are battle training for your immune system. If you could give it intel on the enemy, why would you withhold that? Give me ALL the vaccines! I want to be prepared for everything!

Was able to walk in to Kroger and get both with no appointment and no questions asked just now in Alabama.
