I teach my science students how to write comprehensive literature reviews & every semester I meet with them one-on-one to make sure the topics they've chosen are narrow enough they're actually able to find all the existing primary peer-reviewed research in one semester The topics can be surprising!

Palestinian folk songs do more than entertain, they document occupation in real time. Serena Rasoul launches the Palestinian Folk Music Archive: a free digital collection of 800+ songs gathered from Palestinian families everywhere. Yezen Saadah reports: www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1659...

they shouldn’t make fun! i only knew ‘feed two birds’ but this whole list is great. i keep a running list of violent sayings (we have so many! google ‘rule of thumb’) and try to avoid them. why add more violence to our day than we already have?

Playing with light I was trying to get the setting sun behind these flowers and all sorts of neat stuff happened. There’s a rainbow back there! Where did that come from? #BloomScrolling #BlueskyArtShow #summer 🌿

A spray of purple flowers in front of a rosy glow of light with a small rainbow going across it. Plus a bunch of silhouetted flowers and buds. Or maybe they’re shadows? It’s all rather abstract but beautiful.

love to see this! we created something similar at my org last year to show how slow and expensive breast cancer research is — and how hard it would be to do without federal funding: www.breastcancer.org/news/cancer-...

Will New Breast Cancer Breakthroughs Survive Trump’s Cuts to Cancer Research?

The Trump administration has made drastic cuts to cancer research funding, which breast cancer research relies on. Here's what's at stake.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Every authoritarian movement in history began by identifying a vulnerable group whose rights were framed as negotiable. How hard you are willing to fight for trans rights is the litmus test for whether or not you understand solidarity. It’s all of us or none of us.

yes! this has been bothering me in coverage of lander’s win. yes, mamdani endorsed him, but lander’s such a strong candidate and ppl know his work here. also, goldman sucks! the guy who primaried him in 24 did no campaigning/spent nothing but still got 23% of the vote. this isn’t mamdani magic
