⚠️ The Vice President of Venezuela has spoken by phone to a Venezuelan television news channel.

She confirmed that Venezuelan President Maduro’s whereabouts are unknown, demanded proof of life for Maduro from Trump, and called the people of Venezuela to the streets.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

The “canonical” story how Rosalind Franklin got wronged by Watson and Crick inadvertently makes her look far less scientifically competent than she was (“She did not realize the significance of her own data!”). This article offers a much more nuanced account of what happened.
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Negative-polarity coronal hole no. 80 is directly facing Earth. NOAA SWPC has predicted minor geomagnetic storming starting early on September 22 UTC (not an exact timing) due to the CH effects. We may see auroral visibility extend further equatorward than usual. Stay tuned!
