OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Ata and Fin demand action on LOCAL estate agent spreading hate

Letter excerpt:
Dear Cllr Sarah Williams, 

We are writing as the Green Party councillor candidates for the Hermitage & Gardens ward of Haringey to express our deep concern following the recent article by London Centric regarding the real estate company SmartLet Estates based in Hermitage and Gardens, and the social media account tied to them using tenants’ homes to spread anti-migrant hate and misinformation.[1]

After a series of viral TikTok videos posted by the same account falsely claimed that homes were being handed out to “illegal immigrants” for free, it was found by journalists...

With NIH director Jayanta Bhattacharya dismissing my reporting as "false" and "spreading rumors" hours before releasing a policy that confirmed said "rumors," I feel compelled to respond. Here's an inside look into how this story was reported. It was a weird one. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
On a Nature news article reporting that NIH planned to suspend subawards for foreign collaborations:
“No, that’s false. There’s going to be a policy on tracking subawards. The NIH and the government should be able to see where the money’s going.”

“I’m really uncomfortable with this conversation, because you’re like, actually spreading rumors that you don’t know anything about. … Nature also is spreading rumors. Halt foreign collaborations, that’s not true.”

“We’re working on the policy, Jocelyn. You shouldn’t be reporting rumors. I know there’s leaks all over here, but the leaks don’t actually reflect what’s happening. Don’t write about rumors. It actually makes the things that you and I care about worse. Like it spreads panic.”

Later that day, NIH released a policy that halted future subawards to foreign scientists and said they will need to apply directly for money under a system still in development.

The woman stands near three spray cans on the ground—green, yellow, and blue—casting a long shadow on the white wall.
