This is one of the most heart-breaking & important articles I have ever read - from someone whose voices are so rarely heard, a teenaged girl.
If you want to understand online misogyny in all its devastating impact, please read this shattering piece.

Super cool that we're doing global economic policy based on the daily whims of a sundowning racist. 10/10 great job American voters.
For the record I purchased 7 items.
Conad is the CVS of Italy.
*Somewhere* on this receipt is the barcode I need to exit the self service area.
When I worked for the government we had to pay personally for drinking water.

The thing is that 10 years ago transformers hadn't been invented and most people (me included!) would have told you that it would be impossible to get in 10 years to where we are today.
But lots of people here are strangely confident about where this tech is going to be 10 years from now.
The ruins of the Linari abbey. First described in 1045, now not much remains.

I swear to God Europe has the worst power plugs on the planet. Just absolute garbage. They either fall out of their sockets if you look at them wrong, or won't come out without a forklift. Just absolute clown show shit.
I hesitate to jump into this, but I think this is a useful illustration of the distinction between activists and academics.
Is this historically accurate?
Is this helpful right this minute to the people putting their bodies on the line on the streets of Minneapolis?
Two very different Qs.
Re-upping: if you want to learn microscopy and image analysis - REALLY learn them, in an intense and hands on way - this is a really great place to do it. Applications close Jan 30

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
Europe needs to realize that the only thing trump understands is strength. Cower before him and he'll ask for more and more. Smack him in the face and he'll run away like the scared little bitch he is.
A large fire

Tonight was the Falò San Nicolò, where the first of two factions in Pontremoli compete to see who can build the biggest fire 🔥
Assuming the internal temperature is that high, It's incredibly unlikely that anything pathogenic will survive except spores in which case you have bigger problems. I used to routinely leave heat sterilized bacterial culture media at room temperature overnight with just a foil cap.
Dmitry hits the nail on the head here. We have to pretend that the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet are serious people because a collection of the other dumbest motherfuckers on the planet decided to give them the keys to the car.
Halfway through heated rivalry and I'm 10X more invested in Hunter/Kip than I am in Rozanov/Hollander 😂

Big news! The Data Management team/Data Science Centre at EMBL (i.e. my team) is hiring for a position based in Heidelberg (but working across all sites!). We are looking for a scientific workflows developer that will focus on multimodal pipelines. embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j...
A giant yellow sign on the side of the road announces “YOU ARE ENTERING A FRUIT FLY CONTROLLED AREA” and below that in smaller letters “Make sure you know the rules.”
I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.
I am looking for two postdocs to join our lab
- One (bio)image analyst
- One cell biologist interested to work on lymphatics!
The positions will open soon, be in touch!
I will go to my grave being pissed off about this.
Want to up your microscopy and image analysis game?
Applications open now for QI 2026! Join us in cold spring harbor for two weeks of intensive training in all things microscopy.
I will never forgive anyone who voted to give this piece of shit the power he has now. Never.

DIPSHITS TALKING ABOUT IR WHO WANT TO SOUND SMART: At long last, we have done the Melian Dialogue from the classic book Don't Do the Melian Dialogue
This is basically the view of the world that Plato sets out to refute in the Republic. One of the core questions asked therein is: why do powerful people think the mere fact of them exercising dominion makes it good for them to do so? Sure, you *can* get away with stuff if you're powerful - so what?
