There's something about this time of year I just like.

Well, this is terrifying. Even if this is only referring to testing delivery vehicles, not nuclear devices themselves, leaving this sort of ambiguity is irresponsible.

Greenlake looking quite autumnal. Despite the blue sky, I was caught in an autumn downpour shortly after this was taken.

Nothing quite prepared you for the shock of hearing the rebellious teenage anthems of your youth remade into mild piano pieces and piped into the supermarket as background music.

Good times at the Salish Sea Butoh Festival. Deer unrelated but not unwelcome.

Devastating news. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium has lost its ability to apply for federal funding upon which it is structured. Without this, it cant exist. This threatens access to clinical trials for children.
These children need MORE funding and MORE trials, not less.
They deserve better

I suppose it's reasonable to ask if this is only a problem because of the many problems in scientific publishing generally.

Strange that "the drawbridge is open" means the opposite of "the bridge is open." #English

A microcosm of the current absurdity in science funding cuts. CASP is a major benchmark for the development of protein folding models, which have incredible potential for medical advancement.
