Wow, y'all are really adventurous with your diverse model systems

Sabotaging the NSF fellowship is a blunder Over the last year, the Trump administration has sent one discouraging message after another to young people aspiring to a scientific career in the United States. The corrosive rhetoric that mocks sci...

Tomato leaves with late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans

Hello friends of science! I’m migrating over here from X. There, I had 3,000 followers enjoying plant pathology content! Please help me rebuild. I’ll post plant disease photos, management info, science & nature content. Kicking off with some tomato late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans.

Sure! Done

Universal healthcare, universal childcare, public health, education, cancelling student loans, science and research funding, welfare programs are all much better uses of that much money.

Thank you, Michael!

I hope the international community holds these people responsible for their war crimes

This is a good week to be way too busy to keep up with the news.

I've realized why I hate AI's usage of emdashes. It uses emdashes to create zig-zaggy sentences. Strong scientific writing takes complex ideas and lays them out linearly

Congress is set to vote on bipartisan war powers resolutions this week meant to limit President Trump's military operations in Iran.

The dual efforts in the House and Senate face uphill battles to become law, as previous efforts have failed in asserting congressional authority to declare war.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Donald, you're not denying it.

I genuinely think this is because Trump met some quantum physics, quantum chemistry, or quantum computing professors while partying with fellow sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

I'm not sure what this one is either, but while we are making things up...

How about quaternary biology?

This is cruel and unusual punishment. This is unconscionable.

I'll make sure they have to spell it correctly on the final

I just taught my students about Aflatoxin, but it sounds like I need to give a correction that it's one of the worst.

So many TPS reports

This is 90% of why my husband left his tenured professor position

we dont have the money for universal health care but we have tons of money for concentration camps and a surveillance society

Sometimes. I cannot precisely agree or disagree

The "fun" thing about Epstein helping to fund sleezebag scientists' labs is that the funding allowed the sleezebags to hire more graduate students and postdocs to sexually harass.

I have a male friend who spent some time in Axel's lab. About the 3rd conversation he had with Axel, Axel broke the ice with "So, have you fucked [a female postdoc in the lab] yet?"

My friend was horrified...

By itself, this should be considered utterly disqualifying for confirmation.
