Meet the researchers trying to turn water bears into neuroscience models.

Tardigrades “are one of the smallest animals on Earth that we know of that have limbs".

They're simple enough to study properly & intricate enough for it to be worth it.

People with special needs often have to drive hours to find a dentist who will see them. New grants are creating more options around California.

Listen. Just listen. This is Susan Rice, our former National Security Advisor who knows what is supposed to happen and why the likely reasons Signal-gate occurred (“lazy, reckless, and trying to evade the Presidential Records Act!”).

Sounds like Pennsylvania farmers are finding out. When there is no money for Christmas 2025, they can tell their kids that owning the Libs was more important.

“The similarities between human and parrot brains may reflect two species solving a problem in a similar way, neurally speaking. These parallels could be ‘a very tidy example of convergent evolution…’”.

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Please refrain from using the word 'bitch', which means "the female of the dog or some other carnivorous mammals". I happen to really like dogs and have two as pets. Fetterman and Nazi, are not worthy of the word. Thank you kindly.

These donations were made last year. I hope that these two medical schools are still going to have free tuition for students.
Albert Einstein College of Medicine: Received a $1 billion donation from Ruth Gottesman, a former professor and chair of the board of trustees, ensuring free tuition for all students. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine: Received a $1 billion gift from Bloomberg Philanthropies, making medical school tuition free for most students, with a focus on expanding financial aid for future nurses and public health pioneers.

Free speech and the right to protest is an essential part of any functioning democracy. Targeting those in our country legally with retribution because of a differing political opinion is not only unacceptable but it's dangerous and it must not be tolerated.
NEWS: Last night, DHS detained a Palestinian who helped lead Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead. If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too. Anyone - left, right, or center - who has highlighted the importance of constitutional rights + free speech should be sounding the alarm now.
