Facing federal science budget cuts, biologist Daniel Blumstein resorted to uploading marmot videos to OnlyFans to raise funds for his marmot research. However, when he uploaded his driver’s license for verification, OnlyFans informed him that his appearance didn’t match the marmots in the videos.

Before the 1990s, plane crashes caused by microbursts used to kill planeloads of people fairly regularly. Dr. Ted Fujita and NCAR scientists figured out how to detect microbursts and warn pilots about them. Since then? Zero airliner crashes from microbursts.

In addition, the genetic contribution has remained stable over time, which also means that the much smaller contribution of environmental factors has also remained stable. Therefore environmental factors are unlikely to explain the increase in the prevalence of ASD. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32374377/

Etiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders and Autistic Traits Over Time - PubMed
Weak evidence was found for changes in the genetic and environmental factors underlying ASD and autistic traits over time. Genetic factors played a consistently larger role than environmental factors. Environmental factors are thus unlikely to explain the increase in the prevalence of ASD.

"If he had so little ability to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein even after all that was publicly known about Epstein's sex offenses involving underage girls, then Summers cannot… teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else." - @warren.senate.gov www.cnn.com/2025/11/17/p...
Summers' first statement addressing the newly unveiled Epstein correspondence comes on the heels of Sen. Elizabeth Warren calling on Harvard to sever ties with Summers and putting new pressure on the elite university to hold Summers accountable for his close friendship with Epstein.
Warren, a former Harvard Law School professor and now the Democratic senior senator from Massachusetts, had said in response to a CNN inquiry that she believes Summers — Harvard's former president and one of its most prominent faculty members — "cannot be trusted" with students given his past relationship with Epstein.
"For decades, Larry Summers has demonstrated his attraction to serving the wealthy and well-connected, but his willingness to cozy up to a convicted sex offender demonstrates monumentally bad judgment," Warren told CNN.
"If he had so little ability to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein even after all that was publicly known about Epstein's sex offenses involving underage girls, then Summers cannot be trusted to advise our nation's politicians, policymakers, and institutions - or teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else."

The State of AI in Drug Discovery 2025, Wed, Oct 29th, 2025 @ 11:00 AM Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. publishers
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning partnered with big data generation at unprecedented scale is transforming the worlds of biotechnology and pharma, particularly in the arena of drug discovery. From generative AI to unlock novel drug candidates to virtual cells that gleam insights across multimodal biology, we are witnessing the cusp of an exponential curve of AI innovation that is poised to enhance and perhaps overhaul the design and validation of novel therapeutics. In 2024, GEN debuted our virtual summit, The State of AI in Drug Discovery, which drew a record audience. This year’s summit provides a platform for an outstanding group of researchers, evangelists and entrepreneurs to showcase the latest advances, applications and challenges regarding the deployment of AI across therapeutic development. The program features many of the most exciting companies and organizations powering the AI revolution, including NVIDIA, Xaira Therapeutics, Recursion, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Arc Institute, Generate: Biomedicines, and more! Please join us on October 29th for a dynamic program featuring: A featured presentation with Bo Wang, PhD (Xaira Therapeutics) on the promise of multimodal AI for health care The democratization of small molecule drug discovery with the developers of Boltz-2, Gabriele Corso, PhD (MIT), Regina Barzilay, PhD (MIT), and Najat Khan, PhD (Recursion) Evolving industry trends across the AI therapeutic landscape with Derek Lowe, PhD (Novartis and author of "In the Pipeline"), Molly Gibson, PhD, (Flagship Pioneering), and Stacie Calad-Thomson, PhD (NVIDIA) Building the virtual cell with Theofanis Karaletsos (Chan Zuckerberg Initiative), Emma Lundberg, PhD (Stanford), Hani Goodarzi, PhD (Arc Institute), and Ron Alfa, MD, PhD (Noetik) What’s next for AI in protein design with Surge Biswas, PhD (Nabla Bio), Tharindi Hapuarachchi, PhD (Generate: Biomedicines), and Oliver Vince, PhD (Basecamp Research) Breakout sessions from our event sponsors, Revvity Signals, Benchling, and Telesis Bio.

Dartmouth is OUT! Thank goodness... a friend at U of A and I have been playing "Who will be the last of the 9 standing?" and it's not gonna be us!
Dear Secretary McMahon, Ms. Mailman, and Mr. Haley,
I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you yesterday.
I welcome further engagement around how we can (a) enhance the long-standing
partnership between the federal government and this country's leading research
universities and (b) ensure that higher education stays focused on academic
excellence. As I shared on the call, I do not believe that the involvement of the
government through a compact--whether it is a Republican- or Democratic-led
White House-
is the right way to focus America's leading colleges and universities
on their teaching and research mission.
Our universities have a responsibility to set our own academic and institutional
policies, guided by our mission and values, our commitment to free expression, and
our obligations under the law. Staying true to this responsibility is what will help
American higher education build bipartisan public trust and continue to uphold its
place as the envy of the world.
We remain open to other ways to work with the federal government to enhance
higher education.
Best,
Sian Leah Beilock
President
