A heads up as this site grows: some accounts may not be who they appear. Even among other scientists. Don’t let down your guard when following someone back.
Our old friend @parklifeneuro.bsky.social has resurfaced and is already putting some glib, cowardly clown on blast. Just FYI, he is the genuine article, so you can follow him.
I sincerely hope that you or someone you care deeply for never get really sick, but god forbid if they did, then maybe you would understand what incredibly stupid shit just flies out of your piehole.

For all the people who think scientists are getting fat off of federal grants, I would just like to mention that yesterday, at the spry age of 52, I bought the first new car I have ever bought in my life. I don't mean to brag or anything, but it's a 2026 base model Corolla.

The family says they came to the wrong house on a "tip", demanded to see ID, shot the dog for whatever reason, and bolted, leaving the family as they struggled to save their dogs life. This is inexcusable, but their boss is a known dog murderer. A fish rots from the head.

C’mon bro. It’s not exactly subtle. It doesn’t even require a rudimentary grasp of irony, just 4th grade level reading comprehension.

Does anyone know anything about what is going on at NIDCD?Council met almost a month ago and I have a top scored grant just waiting to be funded. The whole institute has only issued 6 NOAs since then. I have no information about my grant.

If you call yourself a scientist but willingly admit to being unable to evaluate a preprint (something I teach my undergrads to do) then you need to stop calling yourself a scientist.
There is a lot I disagree with here but perhaps this most of all: “I’ve interviewed dozens of scientists who don’t know how to evaluate preprints, what they can trust, or what they can use in their own research.”
Who’s with me? #PeerReview ensures the integrity of scientific knowledge.
Science isn’t social media, and it’s dangerous to treat it as such. For this reason, I believe preprints serve an anti-science agenda & threaten our fields.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
