I love to give department seminars. I can't get over that feeling of an entire room staring at you like you were some kind of psychopath.

Chris Murphy: "Stephen Miller & Co. have a plan to transition our country from democracy into autocracy. But it's not a lost cause yet.

History shows when enough people regularly engage in peaceful protest, enough sand gets thrown in the gears to save our democracy."

This is a powerful account from a PhD student whose fellowship was terminated by NIH because it was part of a "diversity" program without any other considerations or understanding of what the program or the students were actually doing.

NIH Student Grant Cancellation Will Weaken Scientific Innovation
The termination of federal F31 diversity fellowships puts many graduate students in a bind — and U.S. science at risk.

One of the worst things we do in research is never shutting the fuck up. We always have questions, tons of questions. And that’s obviously a good thing. But every now and then, shutting our mouths and letting the data speak isn’t such a bad idea. #resultsdriven #research #academicchatter

So, guess who insists that their superior intellect tells them that evil scientists created SARS-CoV-2? Zoonotic transmission denial kills people.

The coolest thing in #EvoBio right now?
Researchers are opening the gates: #cell atlases, complete #genomes, #traits —an explosion of public data.
In the coming years, we won’t just be swimming in it. We’ll be diving, exploring… and having fun. #evolution #BioDiversity

The Biodiversity Cell Atlas: mapping the tree of life at cellular resolution - Nature
The Biodiversity Cell Atlas aims to create comprehensive single-cell molecular atlases across the eukaryotic tree of life, which will be phylogenetically informed, rely on high-quality genomes and use shared standards to facilitate comparisons across species.

Scientists increasingly assess interventions against misinformation mainly via truth discernment. Tobia Spampatti argues in Nature Climate Change that pursuing truth discernment may not be sufficiently beneficial to society if interventions do not improve behaviour and other outcomes. 🧪
