Our new @science.org paper is out! Cuckoos and hosts are locked in a coevolutionary arms race over egg mimicry.
But how are these egg types inherited, and could this drive speciation? We sequenced hundreds of genomes to find out!

GOP Rep Gabe Evans has used his heritage and his family's immigration story as a shield against criticism of his support for Trump's deportations. @chasewoodruff.bsky.social reports that the story isn't true.
Colorado Republican Rep. Gabe Evans has centered his pro-Trump political identity — and his support for mass deportation — on the story of his Mexican-American grandfather, who he has repeatedly said immigrated “the legal way.”
Documents show that isn’t true.

Thank you, Daniel Engber, for bearing witness to the debacle of RFK Jr's ACIP. The ignorance on display is profound. Unfortunately, they're just getting started. The plans to review the entire childhood vaccine schedule will likely further undermine public trust.

It shouldn't need to be said, but "People who followed an early version of my religion lived in this land a couple of thousand years ago" is not a slam-dunk excuse for ignoring international law and committing ethnic cleansing and genocide.
