One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.

I was a grad student at Harvard when Larry Summers said the reason women were underrepresented in science was natural aptitude. Love to see this news.
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.
She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

@mollyschumer.bsky.social if the data is pre SPQR chemistry I would recommend fibertools. If it’s new data then you can use Jasmine from Pacbio, Andrew and I spent a fair amount of time looking at the Jasmine results and they look good. And it will all still work with downstream fibertools commands

Klein and Coates show that if you don’t know what your core beliefs are, you’re going to get played.
