Science’s secret is that it is not subject to authority, because there are no authorities in science and to make discoveries scientists treat each other as intellectual peers.

What do authoritarian regimes do usually? Start putting pressure on the press, threatening to seek revenge , to avoid opposition and any provocative text or cartoon that would not fall in line. it seems to work quite well these days and it is sad to see the Washington poste caving as well …

Trump is the third US president to pardon insurrectionists. Pardons by the previous two - Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Ulysses S. Grant in 1873 - were followed by years of violent racism and the rise of the KKK.
Joseph Patrick Kelly @cofcharleston.bsky.social; David Cason @uofnorthdakota.bsky.social
The US has pardoned insurrectionists twice before – and both times, years of violent racism followed
It’s not yet clear whether Trump’s pardons will herald a period of national harmony – as past presidents hoped for – or more incidents of violence, as actually resulted.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

The French Senate shuts down the 🇫🇷 “organic” propaganda machine. That’s some good news.
It spreads lies claiming that “organic” products are GMO free.

What an evening! It was wonderful to be with so many colleagues and friends who contributed to sequence the wheat genome and believed in it when many thought it was impossible . One of the most transforming scientific and human adventure I was privileged to be part of. Thank you all !!!

Always a thrill to meet and listen to the early career scientists who are dedicated to make a difference through their research on wheat. Way to go Delfi! Keep the good work going 🌾🤩

Heading to San Diego for the Plant and Animal Genome conference. Looking forward to learn about the latest advances in science, meet with colleagues and friends! Big celebrations this year!! 20 years of the IWGSC (wheatgenome.org) and 25 years of women in genomics (womeningenomics.org). Stay tuned

What do GWAS and rare variant burden tests discover, and why?

Do these studies find the most IMPORTANT genes? If not, how DO they rank genes?

Here we present a surprising result: these studies actually test for SPECIFICITY! A 🧵on what this means... (🧪🧬)

Do you think your memories are reliable? Science suggests our brain's tendency to misremember might be its secret superpower. False memories are not a flaw in the system at all. 🧪
