Flags = approximate ancestry according to amateur research. No kings in there though (except maybe Burger/Smoothie King)

When an expert on authoritarianism (@anneapplebaum.bsky.social) is writing about your scientific meeting, alarm bells should go off. Write to American Diabetes Association CEO Charles Henderson at chenderson@diabetes.org and Chief Medical Officer Rita Rastogi Kalyani at rkalyani@diabetes.org.

Senior researchers at a meeting of the American Diabetes Association were handing out copies of an editorial, published in the association's journal, condemning Trump administration cuts to diabetes research. Police came to arrest them. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/w...

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding: www.dni.gov/index.php/ne...

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education. We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Proud of my alma mater for standing up for academic freedom. It likely won't be without consequences but you have to stand for something, even (and especially) in difficult times.

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA. There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

I wouldn’t be a scientist without the NIH SIP. I was a pre-med going through the motions but my summer at the NIH captivated me & showed me a different path. I was overjoyed when the first trainee from my own lab went last summer & also had a magical experience. This is a devastating loss

BREAKING: The NIH summer internship program (SIP) has been officially cancelled, across all institutes. It’s a sad loss for the brightest science students in America, for American science, and for future cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. 🧪 1/
