“We fund sequencing instead of remediation.” Powerful speech by @kstsosie.bsky.social @aaas.org on how science needs to focus not on speed but on perseverance and accountability. We can learn so much from Indigenous scientists like Dr. Tsosie. We need more of them.

If you’re at the @aaas.org meeting tomorrow (Fri 2/13, 4–5 PM) at Phoenix Convention Center, see why “The Future of #Science is #Indigenous”
Genomics, #AI, #health — what we build matters. How we build it matters more. #AAASmtg

As U.S. official #public #health policy continues its regression toward anti- #science, I’m once again wondering whether a plague doctor mask counts as business casual for the start of the semester, right as the undergrad viral onslaught begins.
I’m sure someone will have feelings about the mask.

AI Eroded Doctors’ Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study
Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study.

#PhD students: pls don't make heavy asks of faculty time/expertise for your dissertation if you cannot include them on your committee. Use your existing committee, drop unhelpful members, or ask someone with service commitment (DGS). Heavy asks can be disproportionate to untenured faculty, esp. WOC.
