i just learned that doctors can remove one of your teeth, implant a lens into the tooth then put the tooth in your eye socket and you can see through the lens in your tooth in your eye. it doesn’t look like a normal eye but holy moly that’s amazing. and they’ve been doing this for over 50 years!

just realized the cmnd+shift+U keyboard shortcut in Figma to add a link is kinda a mnemonic for “(Superpowered) Underline,” which makes me a teeny bit sad.

All of this water is being wasted, none of it will be available to the farmers he’s trying to suck up to when they need it, and none of it would have done a thing to stop wildfires. Utter, disastrous madness

The United States built a publicly funded scientific enterprise that worked miracles. We went to the moon and mars, laid the groundwork for computing revolutions, turned AIDS from a death sentence to a chronic condition, drastically cut cancer deaths. And now we're just going to dismantle it?

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet
Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.

The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?
