Do you:
1) Live near/in Buffalo?
2) Like to organize stuff?
3) Hate what the government is doing to science?
If you answered yes, help me organize the Stand Up for Science rally on March 7th! I need reps from UB, Buff State, Canisius, DβYouville to spread the word. I need general support. DM me!

We should all share itβ¦
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβbecause the person felt she did didnβt deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Funky duck season...
Fucking @yale.edu, this is disgusting; yet another example of student newspapers doing far better reporting than legacy media like the @nytimes.com (Full disclosure, I have a PhD from @yale.edu EEB)...
This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.
Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

Female #kakapo Kohengi on her three eggs on Pukenui/Anchor Island today. We don't yet know if they're fertile, but will investigate soon. So far fertility on Anchor is very high: only 8 infertile out of 33 checked. We expect many more infertile eggs though. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Almost as good as my rule of thumb: has anyone you know ever written anything in it you want to cite? If not, then itβs not the Journal for you.
