It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

I do in fact need to point out Trump’s breathtaking misogyny. Yes it’s to be expected from a serial abuser of women. Yes it’s what we fully expect from our Abuser-in-Chief.
But ceasing to call it out is its own form of normalization and acceptance.
So you better believe I’m gonna call it out.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

New preprint 🥳! We made photoclickable HaloTag ligands to precisely control protein labeling on living cells. With it, we can do some cool multicolor stuff. Huge congrats to Franzi and all co-authors! Check it out 👇
