I too, am a weird little guy.

Three months ago I wrote about how there has never been a more important time for private philanthropy to support the junior scientists and invest in maintaining the talent pipeline previously supported by federal funding.

But instead:

Financial Matriarchy by 2025? "If women should maintain their present rate of financial ascendency, one statistician has calculated that all the wealth of the country would be in feminine hands by 2025. Of course, no one believes that such a financial matriarchy is coming, but this calculation strickingly [sic] illustrates the rapidity of the present trend." --The Burlington Free Press, 27 Mar 1929

Hello, Glasgow!

(The celebrations may now begin 🎉 Send for a fattened calf!)

And here it is. Property rights and a market economy cannot survive this authoritarian assault.

Is the FDA one of those low importance agencies you can just mess around with staffing?

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.

Good news: Cold has gone.

Bad news: Shoulders hurt.

This is an excuse for me to remind people that there should be an LGBT tax credit.

I developed mRNA vaccines. RFK Jr is endangering US public health Katalin Karikó says the health secretary’s decision to pull research funding for the technology is akin to ‘dropping a bomb on the US’

“They have dropped a bomb on themselves.”

-Katalin Kariko, the Nobel laureate whose work led to the development of the Covid mRNA vaccine.

The majority of the clinical trials have already moved to China.
"China has already taken over. Scientists will move."

This is such bullshit. Just pure composted dung.

RFK Jr.‘s war on mRNA vaccines breeds distrust, threatens Canada’s access to development: experts Kennedy recently announced the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was halting funding for 22 mRNA vaccine projects worth nearly US$500 million.

Canadian doctors and scientists say Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s defunding of mRNA vaccine development projects will have negative health effects in Canada and around the world.

Do you dislike RFK, Jr as much as this goddess? You’ll likely enjoy Stephen Colbert’s no-fucks-left takedown. 😂

You are clearly a man of culture!
