New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Hey y’all, please don’t tie your dog for extended periods (or at all) to a bike rack, especially if they’re not socialized.

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river.

Also, AITA for thinking the street preachers in Columbia Heights are way too fucking loud? Free speech and all that, but do I really have to walk through fire and brimstone at 120 DB every time I come through here?
Is it too much to dream of of a world where these parking spaces are removed in Columbia Heights and the bike lanes properly protected? It’s always such a cluster here, and for basically, like, 10 parking spots.
Besides being next to a metro stop, there’s a parking garage behind the mall…

Consistently using an e-bike through DC’s bikeshare program and now owning my own has been so god damn transformational. I’m almost always on a bike here. And it’s almost always faster than bus, train, or car. It’s the best.
“Compared to self-driving cars, and just about any other mobility mode, e-bikes have flourished…If 2023’s trendline continues, the humble e-bike, not the flashy self-driving car, will be poised to reconfigure American transportation.” — @davidzipper.bsky.social
