These days it’s hard to justify loving space exploration/development (as I deeply do). We have so many terrestrial problems, and space has become the purview of the uber-rich. This is an excellent piece on why it’s still a worthy thing to care about, and we shouldn’t let these people take it from us
Excellent perspective by @lisamjarvis.bsky.social @bloomberg.com on the deep freeze at NIH
Seattle showed up for #standupforscience2025
Great slate of speakers, kudos to the organizers!

Our work characterizing how mutational bias is influenced by the local sequence context beyond trinucleotides is out now @pnas.org! We also showed which motifs are most prone to mutations caused by strand misalignment, revealing several new hotspots! 🧬

Efforts to scrub DEI from NASA's websites get it all wrong.
Starting day two of #MicroEvo25 strong with our first MERMan speaker of the day! An amazing talk by @mattjago.bsky.social about mutational bias in E. coli 🧬
🎉 Congratulations to Dr Dolan Evans! Dolan defended his thesis on microbiota of the pre-term infant gut today @mermanchester.bsky.social @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social
Shannon Stirone
🎉 Congratulations to Dr Rowan Green, who defended his PhD today! @rowancallumg.bsky.social
The, what appears to be, scrubbing happening right now at NIH is mind boggling
"Accounting for sex as a biological variable in clinical studies"... gone
"Supporting Women in Biomedical Careers"... gone
