We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Trump limiting NIL money for college athletes is the latest example of Republicans only caring about the “free market” when it benefits the rich and powerful — as they deride any attempt to help regular people as “socialism/communism”

Carlos Alcaraz had never come back to win a match after dropping the first two sets.
Until Sunday.
He's the first player to save three match points in a Roland Garros final and go on to win.

News — David Richardson, Assistant Secretary for the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, has been named the new Senior Official at FEMA.
BREAKING: FEMA’s most senior official Cameron Hamilton has been FIRED and walked out of the building, an agency source confirms.
He testified just yesterday that he didn’t think the agency should be eliminated, per Trump and DHS Sec. Kristi Noem’s wishes. Apparently the wrong answer.

this is legitimately evil
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

Nashville drivers -- one inch of snow on the road, bottom of a small hill, and not one, but two, drivers skid across the road into my ditch and drive through my lawn to my driveway. Fortunately, my yard is 80% weeds, so no harm done.

Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania has indirect rate of 70%, but they probably didn’t want to list that atop Harvard because defunding a children’s hospital might be perceived as problematic.

These overhead rates are negotiated. Lowering it unilaterally to 15% is another way to destroy science in the US. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
