TSA Pre and Clear+ now seem like two competing pay-to-play schemes with little improvement on safety.. I say this after two entire entry points at BWI were closed to us holdouts.. grrrr

My rowing buddy Paul is an ally of his 80’s National teammate David Hearn. I am sickened by heartless attacks on dads with ladder trucks, people expressing their true selves, hungry kids, those facing disease… but when they come after goofy, curious, privileged, middle-aged white guys…well…

Chatting with Steven Rosenberg, whose faith and NIH support led to immunotherapy treatments that are keeping a couple dear colleagues healthy, still working at 84 y.o.! #scienceworks.

Wow, as a student of infectious disease there is nothing worse than verticality, be safe, trust science.

Yes to this, I am a lifelong honey bee fan but appreciate colony numbers do not reflect pollinator health sensu lato.

A week ago we were told via YouTube that USDA-BARC and our Bee Lab will be closed. BARC has had a productive 90 years but is aging and I trust there is a longterm vision behind this decision. The largest loss will be the people, who are 100% devoted to bees, beekeepers, science, and this country.

Fun to host the American Veterinary Medicine Association for a Honey bee workshop in the historic USDA Log Lodge , poignant as a couple days later we received notice our USDA Center will now vacate…🤷🏻🐝.

I am frugal myself and rarely critique my federal employer (maybe for shutdowns, as I love my job), but I cracked seeing the young faces of fired #NPS rangers and #USDA employees. Thought of my teacher mom, who joined midlife as a proud @NPS educator. Public service is a calling, not a safety net.

so we'll see what happens. I'm filing for the merit board on Monday and ### should too. Also, there's a class action lawsuit gearing up and ##### can find out more about that on the Fed subreddit. I can also send links when I have them.”

Totally heartbreaking and I know you were the best of an incredible candidate pool. Everywhere is different but maybe some aids below from a friend in same straights. Take care. “Our area sent a weirdly short appeal window for area cases. ### (RL) and I threw everything possible at them,

We have two scientists on the road collecting time-sensitive samples of bees and wax to help beekeepers resolve how they lost >$10M in honey bees this month

Amazing how far the holistic study of bee health has come in a decade or so, sub-lethal but sub-optimal.

A poignant visit to Chile’s Human Rights museum, highlighting the 15-year murderous blight on democracy by Pinochet and his many allies, even refusing the results of the 1988 plebiscite until the people said ‘nope’, we won.

Yes though fortunately there is not much real time movement of varroa between the two, but that’s definitely what we r keen on

Yeah I m thinking of both directions, mellifera seem to suffer in Thailand and opens avenues for world disease movement, and cerana is picking up viruses.. bit more work to make profitable

Heading home from Thailand where a serviceable and super cute native bee Apis cerana is meeting A mellifera, chaos has ensued in places.
