Telling people “prices are going down” while they’re in the checkout line is like telling someone on a treadmill they’re sitting on a couch. Their legs know you’re lying.

What made Trump's use of that word in regard to Tim Walz is that Tim's son Gus has a non-verbal learning disorder.

Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is true.
I have known Carl for 2 decades and he is smart, dedicated, and quite apolitical, focused on science and getting stuff done on important problems.
Huge unnecessary loss of leadership and expertise.

Hearing news that Carl Dieffenbach, the Director of the Division of AIDS at #NIH (NIAID), has been removed from his position because he was "not aligned with HHS/OMB."
Russell Vought continues to remove great scientists as part of the Project 2025 mission to politicize and destroy NIH.

Wait a minute...you mean to tell me thousands of the most beautiful women on earth didn't all randomly decide to join Twitter in 2023?????
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Yes: AI does not introduce anything fundamentally new. IFs/blots could me made up well before ( remember E. Racker!) and the bottom line is trust- within labs and among peers
I could use an antibody for a protein that I know is at the minus end and say i stained for my new protein.
I could fail to add antibody to my sample to show you that the siRNA worked…
Ultimately, we either trust one another or it’s all over.

I posted yesterday about the shift to triaging 70% of NIH applications rather than 50%.
This is apparently just a temporary step to catch up for all of the study section meetings cancelled due to the government shutdown.
I hope NIH will collect some data to track the impacts of this change.

I am seeing a lot of posts about Rosalind Franklin that themselves ignore her publication record on DNA!
In fact Franklin and Gosling's paper, including the famous Photograph #51, was published, along with Wilkins's paper, back-to-back with the Watson and Crick paper in Nature in 1953.

Sliwa can show different facets but my favorite is his clown show on NY1 with Borrero- esp. when they were joking about “King Cuomo the 2nd”
Continually surprised by how classy Sliwa manages to look, admittedly by comparison to lowlifes
Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.
He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

Tuvo una infancia caótica, como doncella y ayudante de campo de su madre. En 1993, su exitosa biografía contó el terrible precio que la fama tuvo para ambas.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.
I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.
Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.
