A new one to me: a protein structure board game.

You can download a PDF, and print out the parts, or play online ⬇️ (Age 10+)
Play the PDB board game that explores the process of structure discovery and deposition. Then, move on to the next project...but keep an eye on the competition and try not to get scooped! #GenCon

Interesting! @nytimes.com still hasn’t covered any of the Stand Up for Science protests today, but they made sure to put this important news front and center online. Powerful reporting…

It's all gone. They've taken down all the CDC datasets from data.cdc.gov

Data that's critical for public health & research. Data paid for by citizens. That the government now censors.
