This spring, new AI photo tools arrived. Genealogists experimented. Then quickly we realized: these tools don't "restore" historical photos—they may fabricate new faces.
By August, these "restorations" were everywhere, unlabeled, corrupting our shared historical record. #genealogy

One thing I love about #genealogy is that making a breakthrough can often lead to a bigger, more baffling problem. #ancestry #history #familysearch

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

I shouldn't have to lie to your phone tree and say I need translation assistance just to wait 35+ minutes to talk to a human. I'm literally never going to want customer service from a computerized voice. Part of "serving" a customer is actually being there for them, as a human. #nowgetoffmylawn

What if NIH had been 40% smaller?
"We analyze 27 years of NIH extramural awards & their review scores to identify the bottom 40% of grants that would have been eliminated from 1980 to 2007... We then identify new molecular entity drugs, approved in the 21st century, that are linked to these grants"
