In Kentucky, primaries are closed. That means you can only vote in the primary for the party you’re registered with. If you want a voice in Democratic primaries & a say in where our state goes next, register as a Democrat by 12/31. Your vote matters. https://vrsws.sos.ky.gov/ovrweb/

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.
It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Open AI is currently building a data center in Texas that will require roughly the equivalent of the power the Hoover Dam produces to operate.
Last week the Whitehouse killed a renewable energy project that was going to produce as much powers as three Hoover Dams.
None of this makes any sense.

This was sent to my client who will never have $1.8 million to pay this absurd fine. She's never been arrested & is the mother of 2 US citizen children (one with serious health issues). She is also eligible for a visa based on severe human trafficking. This is who DHS is prioritizing right now.
I was theoretically aware that the Trump admin has been imposing fines of $998/day for people who overstayed their removal orders, but hadn't seen it until today. As in so many other Trump/Miller immigration policies, these massive penalties are (arguably) legal but rarely done before

Even if you think the measurement error in this survey is high, say the 'true' amount is 20 or 30% less than the estimate, it's still a catastrophic loss to science, education, health, and security in America.
We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪
