Puritan minister, Cotton Mather, called Susannah Martin one of the most “impudent, Scurrilous, wicked creatures in the world.” However her house marker states that she was an honest, hard-working Christian woman, and “a Martyr of Superstition.” #SalemWitchTrials salemwitchmuseum.com/locations/su...

And often with ulterior motive. My 10th great grandmother, Susannah Martin, was hanged during the Salem Witch Trials. She challenged male inheritance over her father's land. #SalemWitchTrials #womensRights #persecution

Irrespective of how John feels, his words are simply not compatible with an inclusive prize that celebrates all LGBTQ+ people. Just like a racist statement would not be allowed in a prize for writers of colour, or a sexist statement tolerated for a prize for feminist writers. /11

Coffee shop idea: Introduce ‘available seat’ placards that solo diners can place on empty chairs at their table, making it easier and less awkward for others to know which spots are open.

This past year, I’ve grieved the changes in my body and the struggles that have come with them. But I’m also grateful. For what I can still do, for the places I can still go, and for the ways I’ve learned to adapt. #mentalhealth #disabilitypride

It’s not about becoming a rocket scientist (for most of us, anyway.) 🚀 It’s about raising (and being) people who can solve problems and ask better questions. And that is how we move forward. 9/

Because when we treat math and science as just “academic,” we miss the point. They’re tools for navigating life. For building a better future. 🧬 And right now, we could really use more of that. #STEMeducation 8/

So if these subjects didn’t click for you in school, that’s totally valid! But please don’t write them off for your kids. 💡 Encourage them 🌱 Support them 🧐 Get curious with them #STEM 7/

Here’s the thing, friends: People often say they’ll never need to solve complex math or science problems in real life. But learning those subjects isn’t just about equations or facts. 📚 It’s about training your brain. 🧠 #STEM #STEMeducation #AcademicSky 4/

Dorea Reeser 🏳‍🌈🇨🇦🇺🇸 @drdorea.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

These skills are foundational. And when they decline, so does our collective ability to: ✅ Solve complex challenges ✅ Make sound decisions ✅ Imagine better systems It’s all connected. 🔗🔗🔗 3/

Sure, there are bigger problems in the world right now. 🌍But a lack of skills in reasoning isn't going to help with societal, economic, or technological (to name a few) growth and improvement in the long run. We need people who can think things through. 🛤️ #ProblemSolving 2/

From what I've seen tracking terminations, I think the NSF community circled its wagons quicker than the NIH folks and has been more press savvy. But honestly, all our communities--whether NIH, NSF, EPA, NOAA, NEH, NASA, CDC, SAMHSA, FDA or somewhere else--can do more to stand up for each other

We need to talk about RFK Jr.’s recent comments on autism. He said: “These are kids who will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

One of the most pernicious ideas of non scientists (politicians especially) is that scientific research can be turned on and off like a spigot without consequences.

In terminating hundreds of NIH grants, the Trump administration dumped years of investment down the drain. In my latest @opinion.bloomberg.com column, we analyzed the cancelled projects & talked to scientists to understand just how much the public loses out. It's a lot: tinyurl.com/bdey86su

A beeswarm chart of canceled NIH grants showing the years into each project when the funding was pulled. Each dot represents a terminated grant and is colored by the number of publications associated with the project: none, one to four or five or more. The grants are separated into thee rows based on the award type (R01, U01, U54). RO1 research projects had the most terminations, which occurred at all stages of research, from the project onset to 7+ years in. Most grants were canceled short of the 4-5 year lifespan of a typical grant, and 40% of R01s had no publications at the time of termination. Projects that had been active for longer had more publications, suggesting that more findings are disseminated in the later stages of these grants.

It took 37 hours, but he's finally covered them toes with a complete pair of socks. I envy the sensorily unflappable ease by which he can walk through this world. As a hypersensitive #neurodivergent #personwithdisabilities this is an experience I cannot fathom.

Step away from the tough news cycle: My roommate has been rocking this one sock look for 32 hours and counting. When asked how long he planned to sport this look, he said, "For as long as he needs to." This observer has no idea what he means and will keep you updated if this beat is of interest.
