If allying yourself with an anti-vax lunatic and helping him gut public health in America while children die of vaccine-preventable diseases doesn’t get you expelled from academia, then the whole system is utterly broken.
“The workers in Kenya say that it feels uncomfortable to go to work. They tell us about deeply private video clips, which appear to come straight out of Western homes, from people who use the glasses in their everyday lives.”

An EF-4 tornado hit Michigan tonight and decimated a good portion of a town. Many, many homes destroyed. This kind of weather is not at all expected in March. This level of devastation is also not common in Michigan, which is not tornado alley. And, sadly, it'll only get worse.
Here is the "effective payline" for each institute, estimated (by Claude) as the percentile where one can expect 80% probability of funding from a logistic regression fit. The effective payline has gone from a historic ~12% to 6% in 2025.
Deadline extended to Tuesday, March 10! Tell your postdocs! (Pay for their course fee if you can!)
This is heartbreaking.
There have been some very bad developments today.
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Word on the street: HHS wants to make changes to webpages to thimerosol soon - maybe today.
CDC colleagues refuse to do it (💪 ❤️🔥 ) - so politicals may do it instead.
If you see a change to this site (esp a date change for edits, any content changes), let us know!

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
This is an actual Pentagon press release. “An Army believed to be casualty…the believed to be death”
AXIOS: RUBIO TOLD ARAB FOREIGN MINISTERS THAT WASHINGTON'S GOAL IS NOT REGIME CHANGE AND THAT IT WANTS DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO RUN THE COUNTRY
Donald Trump is taking a hammer to the job market and making life more expensive for you.

We're ready to disco!!! Also they added these weird strips of orange carpet in our hallway and they arent even all the same width they're so ugly??
""Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."" im losing my mind
A ridiculous tuxedo cat doing a little LIKK on my dunked digestive biscuit. Actually it's 2 for structural integrity, otherwise the wet bit flops off and lands on his paws and he gets all grumpy
I'm telling you, Paul makes me dunk his biscuit in tea. He does. HE DOES
Utah! What are you doing?!???
All you folks who are not vaccinating your kids, you are endangering so many other people.
Also: many of us Gen. X and older might not have sufficient titers if we got our OG measles vaccine.
Time for a booster if yer titers have dropped.
You don’t want measles.
they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends
...the money you pay society journals to publish at least partially goes into conference costs, fellowships, workshops, seminar series, community projects like Plantae, preLights, etc.
These are two strange arguments. How are society journals not the clearly better option here?

I am truly honored to receive the Hilde Mangold Award from @gfeev.bsky.social!
Mangold’s classic transplantation experiments transformed developmental biology and our understanding of self-organization. I am grateful to be associated with this legacy!
Though he will in all likelihood achieve some short-term gains, in the medium and long term, Trump is impoverishing the US in every meaningful measure of power: political, economic and ideological.
The legitimacy of US power matters, but it already may be too late to save it.
It actually doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out what went wrong, but I'm guessing this column doesn't mention the rapidly increasing levels of misogyny among young men.
When someone asks you what a woman is, ask them to tell you what water is first and watch them struggle. If they say “water is an element,” laugh at them for subscribing to medieval, unscientific ideas.
Scientists discovered a caterpillar that murders insects and stitches their dismembered body parts onto its back as armor
You’re welcome. Happy day! 😆
