ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

In 2020, the Trump administration invited Ahmed to talk about the rise of anti-semitism online.
His mission has not changed, but they have.
After Musk took over Twitter he unsuccessfully sued Ahmed for documenting the increase in online hate. Now the Trump admin is enabling Musk's censorship.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year from Hunter, the feral cat (clipped & snipped) who is fed by my mom and half a dozen neighbors. This is his heated cat house on a nearby porch.

Senescence biomarkers p16 and p21 are often very difficult to detect in human tissues, our assay ICLAP makes a lot easier.
Just accepted for publication in Nature Comm. is our new assay ICLAP to measure proteins of low abundance in tissues, such as markers of senescence.

We know that birds can sense magnetic fields for navigation. But how does that work?
Do they have little magnets wired up to their brains?
The most likely answer is 1000X times weirder than that, and involves quantum spin.

#NFDI4BIOIMAGEfromAtoZ - T as in TIFF
When working with microscopy data, you often need image formats that preserve every detail of your measurements. #TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a raster image format particularly suited for high-quality, multidimensional microscopy data.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.
