@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social responds to Trump says he's a "much better looking person" than him: "My focus is on the affordability crisis, and if the president wants to speak about grocery prices or lowering the cost of living, I'm absolutely ready to do so."

Heartbroken by the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall. Her groundbreaking insights into chimpanzee behavior and tireless advocacy for conservation shaped the path for so many of us in primatology. Her legacy continues to guide and inspire. May her memory be a blessing. #JaneGoodall

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending
Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.
