It’s the first night of Hanukkah and the world seems like a very dark place. But we can bring light to the darkness. We can fight for each other and make goodness, love, and community shine through.

Show me your menorahs and let’s light up the timeline!
A blue, gold, and white menorah with blue and white pomegranates on it in front of red and pink poinsettias on a wood table. The menorah is lit for the first night of Hannukah.

I know times are tight but we keep our expenses very low. Almost everything we get from supporters goes to participants in the form of shirts, swag, mixers, the website, etc.

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

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.
