I just viewed the Epstein files. A few things are clear:

1. Trump’s name is all over them.
2. The DOJ is breaking the law and denying the victims justice.
3. A single 3-hour viewing was not enough time. I will be back.

If you have questions, let me know in the comments.

I thought I’d boost my post from several weeks ago. I think the consequences were needed and are appropriate.

Suozzi needs to be defeated.
Do you have Dani Welch’s website link? Can’t find it. Interested to know more about issues/positions, whether she is a true progressive.

University Professor and Nobel laureate Richard Axel, CC ’67, was invited to close friend of 11 years Jeffrey Epstein’s island in 2011 <i>Updated Feb. 4 at 8:24 p.m.</i>

I have always felt that the desire by institutions and many scientists to cozy up to billionaires was corrupting.

In this case, knowing that Epstein was a predator who victimized young girls didn’t ring a moral bell in Richard’s brain.

N.I.H. Worker Who Criticized Trump Seeks Whistle-Blower Protection

"Dr. Norton told NPR in October, β€œ[the admin and president] is asking us to do things that are illegal and harmful to the American public.”

@jenna-m-norton.bsky.social has been an inspiration to many scientists and citizens.
I can't count the number of colleagues who have praised her to me.

@tollkuhn.bsky.social and at this point, I’d roll the dice on a new timeline. So maybe take one for the team and write the review article. πŸ˜‚

Is this an actual glitch in the network? Or a time loop paradox? Jessica, if you write this article, you may change the future.

In an inexplicable move, the Stony Brook University senate EC voted to delete/stop posting meeting recordings from 9/24 on and to provide links only upon request. Here is the SBU Senate bootleg series (i’ll update the doc each month): #SBUSenateBootleg

Why Did Indiana University Axe Its Award-Winning Print Newspaper? If the administration can censor the Indiana Daily Student--one of the most acclaimed student publications in the nation--then student journalism everywhere is at risk.

Administrators reportedly told the student media director that the IDS should publish special editions of the newspaper containing no news. β€œHow do we frame that,” asked one assistant dean, β€œin a way that's not seen as censorship?”

Remembering GABA pioneer Edward Kravitz The biochemist, who died last month at age 92, was part of the first neurobiology department in the world and showed that gamma-aminobutyric acid is inhibitory.

Edward Kravitz, a Harvard biochemist who proved GABA's inhibitory power, passed away last month. He will "be remembered for his humanity, for his social conscience and his desire to help those less fortunate than he,” says Ronald Harris-Warrick.

The Palestine Exception in Science (opinion) A small act in recognition of Palestinian humanity during a scientific presentation should not have been met with a reprimand.

Thanks to @insidehighered.com for publishing my perspective about being reprimanded by the Gordon Research conference after my display of empathy for Palestinian victims of genocide.

I'm so excited to see this Perspective with @jasonsynaptic.bsky.social out in Neuron! About 8% of our genome is made up of the remnants of LTR-containing retroelements - here, Jason and I explore the activities of retroTEs in neurological health and disease!

After we defeat fascism, our White House will have a 90,000 square foot department of racial, gender and economic justice. But we will rip that tacky as fuck gold out and paint rainbows 🌈.

When historians analyze this period in American history, they will conclude that the road to repression of free speech was paved with a bipartisan assault on the Palestine justice movement.

For decades, @jfrejnyc.bsky.social has shown what politics can be: courageous, collaborative, and grounded in the struggle for justice.

It was an honor to celebrate them on Wednesday night alongside my friend @bradlander.bsky.social.

Is the Wall Street Journal going to issue an apology for their headline this morning that turned out to be completely false conflating Tyler Robinson with the Transgender movement? This comment, scratched on the spent shell casing has nothing to do with being Transgender.
