This is Musk's new pinned tweet.
- It's Latin meaning "no one provokes me and gets away with it."
- He attributes it to Sulla, the Roman general who marched on Rome, named himself dictator and launched a notorious reign of terror, executing much of the city's elite.
- It's never linked to Sulla.

Did anyone notice that the Trump Admin got the definition of Male and Female wrong?
Seems like something we'd make a big deal of with other admins.

If that happens, he will likely have to move to industry, where he will use his data science skills to make some company more money (and have a more stable job that pays significantly better). His decades of expertise in infectious disease biology will be lost to society.

Yes. My husband is an NIH-funded scientist studying infectious diseases such as whooping cough, covid, & influenza. The current grant funding his salary runs out of money this summer; a delay in grant reviews means he won’t get a new grant funded before then. He’ll lose his job.

We need to immediately come to terms with the fact that we are on our own.
The federal government is being dismantled, and should not be expected to provide support or resources for any future disaster or emergency.
We must prepare for the reality that the only option will be community organizing.

This is how new whole genome sequencing still is, we only just now did it for Myxini/hagfish, which are pre-jawed early primitive vertebrates. You'd thunk bc they're so "primitive" or whatever term you prefer that we'd've done that right away.

Session 5 this morning was a continuation of yesterday’s stratigraphy session. We had a great set of talks discussing all things marine - especially the North Sea! Very interesting records
