I’ve said this before but it’s still true - these responses from @vscooper.micropopbio.org and @surtlab.bsky.social live rent-free in my head 20-50 times a year

Asking my #DevBio @socdevbio.bsky.social & #Neuroscience @sfn.org colleagues to join me in donating to the ABRCMS conference poster award fund. I am sure there will be 🤩 posters on these topics @ ABRCMS 2025 in Nov, let's make sure there is award $ to recognize their work! abrcms.org/donate/stude...

The Dunning Kruger Vaccine will save us from everything, y’all
colincarlson.bsky.social Colin Carlson @colincarlson.bsky.social · Aug 8
RFK has announced that he is developing a vaccine against all viruses. Yes, every single one. The whole, uh, "phylum"
RFK Jr: “We're developing a universal vaccine at NIH which is a vaccine that addresses the entire phylum of viruses.” “It's a vaccine that mimics natural immunity and it is effective against any kind of mutation.” “We believe it's gonna be effective against not only coronaviruses but also flu.” “And it's gonna be a much safer and a much more effective vaccine.”

I get what @asm.org is trying to do with #ASMicrobe. But elimination of the POMS track means I submitted 3 different session proposals, 3x each, since they’re broadly relevant to all 3 sections. Hopefully the section planners will work together if more than 1 accepts the proposals.

honestly mostly what these fox graphics that clearly take completely for granted that the good things will be understood by the audience to be bad make me feel is that the gulf between me and the people who watch this is fundamentally insurmountable

Dear Science Journalists,

Please mention when your write-ups covers work that was funded by federal agencies that are now being dismantled, defunded, and censored.

The public needs to know what is being lost, and if you don't tell them in the context of Cool New Science, who will?

On a similar note:

The 50 senators who voted against this bill represent approximately 379.77 million people.

The 50 senators who voted for this bill represent approximately 298.41 million people.

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.

And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.

Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! Why the New York Mets pay him $1.19 million every July 1
Bobby Bo hasn't played for the Mets since 1999, but Tuesday he'll receive his annual hefty check from the team.

It’s that time again! Time for @skypeascientist.bsky.social’s 7th annual United States of Science Challenge!

Each bubble on this map represents classrooms we marched w/scientists this year.

$10 donations fill bubbles!

The first region to fill in all of their bubbles wins!

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride
Mspaint doodle- a person strides forward, wearing a shirt with a trans flag. They say "I LOVE being trans!". They have an expression of pure glee. The person is stopped by someone else, who accusingly points while they say "You! Justify your happiness to me!" The accosting person says "Debate me no-". They are cut off by the person in the trans shirt saying "No thank you!" as lasers shoot from their eyes, exploding the head of the other character in a cartoonish fashion. The accosting person stands, alive but expressionless as their headless torso smolders. The person in the trans shirt walks away, a stupidly happy grin still present.
