... Turns out their funder is a single individual, a Norwegian man associated with the concrete business. He has a factory in Murmansk and produces concrete to house kidnapped Ukrainian children. Truly despicable attempt at foreign interference. We must remain Democratic and antifascist.

Norway officially has pro-Putin party, run by Russian assets who feature on RT and used to run a Kreml-aligned fascist "Konservative" party. But this this time they are trying under the guise of left wing rhetoric. They openly want Russia to annex Ukraine, and refused to say who their funded was...

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

Watching Trump's speech on tarrifs, it's idiotic madness. Boycott as many American products as you can. You don't need to achieve anywhere close to 100% coverage to be effective. Think twice and pick a non-US alternative if possible. The future is European.

Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Seeking a Third Term in Defiance of Constitution

President Trump, in an interview with NBC News, said there were “methods” that would allow a third term. The 22nd Amendment prohibits a person from being elected to more than two terms as president.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

We are watching Trump make the same mistakes Neville Chamberlain made in 1938 with the Munich Agreement. Russia is in a war time economy that it cannot stop, otherwise it's economy will collapse entirely. US may withdraw from NATO. Bleak times. Here's to hoping for a revival of European strength.

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Especially in experiments, but perhaps also more generally: Learn to fail, but do so gracefully. Not achieving the desired outcome doesn't mean you're the problem or that the problem is insurmountable. It means you're still looking for the optimal solution.

An image of a larval zebrafish retina I acquired while testing antibodies. It's a shame my favourite cells, the photoreceptors, aren't labelled! But the inner retina is very striking, and I like that the lens cells are so apparent. #FluorescenceFriday #sciart

A fluorescent micrograph of a zebrafish larvae retina, showing blue, pink, and yellow labelling across the laminae. Outer retina is on the left, inner retina on the right. The blue labelling is restricted to long cells that span most of the tissue (Müller glia cells), pink is many cells in the inner retina, and yellow is largely limited to the synaptic and photoreceptor layers. On the very right of the image is a half-circle, which is the lens.

Exciting preprint from @chiarafornetto.bsky.social's research on colour vision in zebrafish! Turns out their spatiotemporal vision is mainly built on R/UV cones, and G/B cones provide supportive functions like background subtraction! 4 cones allows more computation earlier in vision! Have a read!(:
