The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion.
Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more.
If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

Seems like everyone who sends me a dm on #bluesky deletes their account shortly thereafter. Is it my fault for ignoring them? They often say the nicest things, like “hello handsome…”

Scientists are asking cat owners nationwide to submit a tuft of fur and share details about their cat’s appearance, personality, and behavior. Dr. @elinork.bsky.social joins us to discuss the project and what we do and don’t know about #cat genetics.
Investigating Cat Behavior Through Genetics
With the help of cat owners, a new project investigates cats’ biology and aims to link some of their behaviors to their genes.

Today’s a good day to remember that outdoor tornado sirens are NOT meant to be heard indoors.
This is why it’s important to have a way to receive alerts on your phone (a weather radio works great too!)
FEMA’s app, along with local tv station weather apps, will send you warnings.
