"Weird, some bacteria do this thing where they chop up viral DNA like it's an immune reaction. It's only about a 1 in a million chance, but that's fine for bacteria." Cue the most promising candidate for gene therapy that we have ever had.

Before he came in, he was single-handedly responsible for dozens of children dying from measles in American Samoa.

If that man dropped dead and was replaced by a barely-literate toddler, I would rejoice.

In a decade dominated by a billionaire rapist who clearly hates the country he is forced to live in, it's really cool to see a politician who thinks that his hometown is really neat and likes to nerd out about it in a professional setting.

If a man shoots a Democratic congresswoman, he’s a mentally disturbed individual. If a man shoots a Republican congressman, it’s because Bernie Sanders brainwashed him and turned him into a sleeper agent who is activated by the phrase “tax cut.”

How to Tell the Difference Between a Lone Wolf and a Coordinated Effort by the Radical Left

“The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me.” Read Frederick Douglass’s entire speech here. 🗃️ #BlackEduSky www.blackpast.org/african-amer...

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Guys that show up in plain clothes and balaclavas without identification to kidnap people and then arrest you for asking for identification aren't law enforcement, they're a state-sponsored terrorist organization, and we should refer to them as such.

I had two grant proposals up for review in the NIH Bacterial Virulence (BV) study section. It was canceled without notice this morning. Without those grants, my lab must close within a year. And so the purge of scientific research in the US continues 🤬 #MicroSky 🦠🧫🧪🧬🔬

When I worked at NIH after college I remember a quote on the walls along the lines of "Think research is expensive? Try disease."

Interpretation for the non-scientists: When faculty get NIH grants, the University gets some extra cash to make sure the research is supported. NIH just cut that $$ by a LOT. That means Unis are less likely to support research. Most research in the US is done at Unis, so... it's bad 🧪

When Scientific American endorsed Harris, many scientists and science-friendly people were supportive and grateful, but some said: stick to science, science isn’t political, etc. But reality-denying right-wing fanatics will absolutely come for the scientists www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Trump policies sow chaos, confusion across scientific community
U.S. scientists, unaccustomed to shock-and-awe political assaults, are reeling from President Donald Trump’s executive orders on DEI, gender and other subjects.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

This will dramatically raise the price of @rakkasantea.bsky.social sourced from Colombia. If these tariffs go into effect, we'll immediately email our thousands of customers explaining, in detail, how President Trump and Republicans raised the price of their tea.

A source at NIH told me that without the ability for staff to travel, it's likely many clinical trials around the world will need to be put on hold. "Telecommunication capabilities have gotten better, especially after Covid, but it’s not the same as being there in person," they said.

Hypothetically, some day I will stop being angry. Then again, I've read about grudges that last for generations.
