I think I got my first email from an AI agent, not a student writing an email using AI (plenty of those sadly), but an actual agent. Very weird. Anyone else seeing these?

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Our first cancer biology preprint is up! TRIM9 switches melanoma cell phenotypes. First author @klukasik.bsky.social has taken the lab into new directions for sure in a fun collaboration with @coronin.bsky.social. We can't wait to hear what you think. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

Roger Marshall, the GOP senator who scampered away from a town hall in Oakley, Kansas, (pop. 1,987) when his constituents asked him about DOGE, likes to cite Dwight Eisenhower as his hero. @dionkansas.bsky.social, opinion editor for the Wichita Eagle, isn't buying it www.kansas.com/opinion/opn-...
Marshall doesn’t even have the guts to defend his views to his own constituents. He deliberately scheduled his so-called town hall in the far corner of nowhere, and was shocked when concerned citizens drove eight to ten hours round-trip for the scheduled hourlong event. Marshall actually bailed out after only 37 minutes, when an audience member stood up and asked a hard but reasonable question about how many veterans have been caught up in the Trump administration’s random purge of the federal workforce — which by the way includes at least three staffers at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene. So if I may borrow from the line made famous by the late Sen. Lloyd Bentsen in the 1988 vice presidential debate: Senator Marshall, you’re no Dwight Eisenhower. Neither is Donald Trump. Not even close.

This is, by far, the best and most complete description of what is currently happening to biomedical research in the United States. Derek Lowe normally writes an incredibly level-headed column on drug discovery in academia and the private sector. www.science.org/content/blog...
