I am somehow for the first time ever reviewing for PNAS and their reviewer instructions include this BANGER of a line:
"The purpose of peer review is not to demonstrate proficiency in identifying flaws"
Print it in eleventy point font and hang it from the hillside. Scream it from the rooftops.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.
The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!
This is the power of representation.

In War Against DEI in Science, Researchers See Collateral Damage
Senate Republicans flagged thousands of grants as "woke DEI" research. But what does that really mean?

Disgusting. This is so fucked.
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
This pride, we riot.

Rescued a cat today that we’ve been feeding for a few weeks. The vet says it looks like he had a serious run-in with a car at some point. His lower jaw was broken and fused in the wrong position so it’s hard for him to eat. He’s a sweet boy - likely an abandoned cat. Why do people do this 😡

“There have been no official statements either on these assaults on inclusion nor on the more general anti-science crusade from the American Chemical or Physical Societies (my enquiries to both have gone unanswered to date), nor from the US National Academy of Sciences.” 😞
'No one can expect individual scientists to make a stand, at professional and even personal danger (even though some are doing so),' writes Philip Ball. 'But prudence cannot mean timidity, nor can it risk looking like it.'
Scientific institutions have a long history of anticipatory obedience
Societies should learn from this and speak up to support inclusion
