New paper! 🐟🧬🧪🦑 #genomics #aDNA
Using aDNA, we show that genetic loci identified for mixed-stock analysis of Atlantic herring have barely changed over the past millennium and identify demographic changes associated with 20th-century stock declines

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

Supreme Court says the president can’t abolish student debt, but he CAN abolish the Department of Education.
This isn’t hypocrisy. It’s end times fascism—a fatalistic politics willing torch the government and incinerate the future to maintain hierarchy and subvert democracy.

Colossal are likely trying to ‘de-extinct’ the moa by tweaking an emu genome. There’s 62 million years of evolution between an emu and a moa.
For context, there’s only 42 MY between humans and howler monkeys. You simply can’t make a human with a GM howler monkey

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
