As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

People need to stop assuming that normal elections, whether at the mid terms or in 2028, will put an end to this.
it could *not be clearer* that the more things the Trump administration does, the more it is hurtling towards being an authoritarian, expansionist, aggressive state
canada pm justin trudeau: “what [trump] wants is to see a total collapse of the canadian economy, because that will make it easier to annex us.”

This work is phenomenally interesting, and I’m delighted to have played a very very small part in it! bsky.app/profile/keyf...
Many zoonotic diseases are believed to have emerged during prehistory, but can we actually identify their past host range using ancient DNA? In the first publication of the Key Lab we present a 4000y old Yersinia pestis genome reconstructed from domesticated sheep. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Most human pathogens are of zoonotic origin. Many emerged during prehistory, coinciding with domestication providing more opportunities for spillover from original host species. However, we lack direc...
