Imagine posting this and saying that looks fine nwhile there were 750 fewer first time awardees in 2025. Coincidentally 2025 was the 1st year we’ve this administration that is hellbent on killing science in the United States grants.nih.gov/news-events/...
Interesting timeline this morning. Did Trump kill that toad to make that tie?
@buffalo-bills.bsky.social training camp opens tomorrow. New season means that it's time to move on. #Billsmafia
idk, some of those with professions before they entered politics sure aren't using the critical thinking skills they were provide to prepare and execute that profession. For example:
I want to welcome mSphere's newest Senior Editor @davislabjhu.bsky.social. Kim is an outstanding bacteriologist whose lab is doing ground-breaking research focused on bacterial heterogeneity within a culture and how this contributes to pathogenesis and antimicrobial resistance. @asm.org #mSphere
Written by the same person who posted this. Obviously, this person has that innate skill of knowing just which people have a great sense of honor and character
Today, I learned that my former Battalion Commander passed away. I learned a lot about leadership from Avi. Most important was to make everyone, even a lowly sergeant like me feel seen, heard, and important. יהי זיכרו ברוך
@sanders.senate.gov I thibk you wear this tweet as a badge of honor and post it on everyone of your social media pages
Wanna know the real problem with American politics? There are no consequences for scum like this. On either side of the political spectrum
Get a pool for a Newfie, they said, Newfies are water dogs. Problem is that someone didn’t get the memo
When you have a Brazilian in your lab, that means science shuts down when they play in world cup
Im looking forward to when the lefties set their sights on Hochul bc she’s an establishment democrat who made Mamdami look like a savant mayor and now power broker by basically wiping away a lot of nyc’s debt.
@repjackkimble.bsky.social I hope the “mail-in”’voters of CA-54 remember this when they cast their “legal” votes
As I am sure you know, I am a huge fan if Canadian chips (ketchup chips rule). And I held them in highest regard till I saw these in warsaw last month
Cornell Student Austin France applied for a job and asked to interview by Jewish-american owned company. His response “Not interested in working for a jew” and then defends it. People would be screaming if talked Mexicans, Arabs, Blacks. Instead he's a hero to some. Antisemitism is alive and well
Derp. One criticism of many postdoc fellowships is they are a rich getting richer scheme - applicants from well funded large labs in high profile schools were disproportionately funded. Then I read this - what’s the point of the $30k supply money? That’s almost half a F32?
One day I'd enjoy waking up and not having to continuously learn that the people who voted for this are finally learning a lesson. For example, Merriwether Farms was a very proud to vote for Trump, yada yada yada, their business is now FUBR bc of screw worms. Aka they FAFO'ed
This sign in East Aurora on Jameson Road off of the 400 by Moog. Man what a fantasy land that dude lives in
