I’m so tired of being alive in this timeline. All I wanted was the joy of everyone becoming who they really wanted to be, and being that best self in every community. As it turns out for an uncomfy number of people their best self is being monstrous to others

They were allegedly put in a "degrading" environment and had their passports and salaries withheld."

Listen. This is important. There’s measles going around. Measles is the one and only thing (that we know of) that can erase your immune memory. It causes immune amnesia.
You have to rebuild all your immunity.
Go to your doc and get your measles antibodies checked. You do not want immune amnesia.

seriously PIs, talk to your contacts at NIH, NSF, etc. they're trying to help
this morning I chatted with the SRO of my cancelled study section, she's already working to reschedule it
I thanked her for making it work, & just said it meant a lot to me that SROs, POs, etc are keeping science going

I chatted with a program director at NIH for a half hour just now
It's clear that the people who make American science happen are doing everything they can to keep making it happen in a very difficult environment
They deserve our respect and gratitude

Trump & Elmo jumped the shark on anti-DEI. They turned a dog whistle into a blowhorn. Now, just weeks into the new administration, everyone realizes it's just more White Power bullshit.

Went for a bike ride on the Potomac River & saw 3 pairs of nesting peregrine falcons & they asked me to spread the word that as soon as their chicks fledge, they will sharpen their beaks & talons, fly to DC & gouge out the eyes of anybody who says wildlife conservation is wasteful

I'm old enough to remember when people were saying this about gay rights. It didn't matter then, and it doesn't matter now. Human rights are human rights and you cannot compromise on them for everyone because once you make one compromise, you can more. Leaders need to lead morally.

Classroom/Library enrollment was down pretty bad in February. National chaos and uncertainly likely has something to do with it.

Antarctica Day is on Dec 1st each year. It marks the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, which sets aside Antarctica as a continent for peace and science.
To help celebrate, here’s a photo I took a couple of years ago, of a seal which had clearly got the message about peace.
Happy #AntarcticaDay!!

You get 20 extra characters on Bluesky which is great because it means, when you copy your old tweets into Bluesky you can always add “THUS SPOKE THE LICH!” to the end and it will still fit.
