It was a highlight of my Knight Science Journalism Fellowship year. Sad that it has to be this way, but glad the organizers recognize the moment and are responding appropriately.
truly stunning visual long-form piece from the WSJ this morning. lots of new data we haven't seen before, and it's just as disturbing as you'd assume. gift link
Sally James spoke, too, and gave voice to the many science journalists laid off and the many science communicators expelled from the federal institutions we all rely on. She crushed it!
Winner winner! 🏆
#standupforscience Seattle stands up for science!
Yes, we also need King 🎂!
Remember, according to the Speaker of the House, we're not at war with the country that we're bombing 'round the clock until they unconditionally surrender, which may happen only in the commander in chief's perfectly stable mind.
Ready to roll in Seattle! @standupforscience.bsky.social @sufsseattle.bsky.social
I'll be there!
I'll be there!
So the president says the bombing won't stop until the country the Speaker of the House says we're not at war with surrenders unconditionally.
"Our understanding is still very primitive; we are so ignorant about how the brain works when interacting with other people. It’s such a complex field, due to the brain being as complex as it is."
Torturing children to advance an immigration policy (incentive to self-deport) is the stuff of Nuremberg trials.
My but a lot of bodies turn up around these gardeners.
It doesn't get cozier than Rosemary and Thyme.
Nothing captures the spirit of Fred Hutch Cancer Center better than recognition of mentorship. Well done, Irini Topalidou!
I can think of some Wall Street investors who might be more interested this year.
I'd be interested in a ZLS analysis of AI

Such an important story: ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the U.S. and the fear of what comes next.

Walker absolutely deserving of MVP, but Witherspoon would have been a fine choice as well.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
They move fast and break everything... building something? Not so much.
Less time fussing with logistics may seem like a minor point, but I can't count the number of meetings I've been in that burn 10-15 minutes trying to get tech to work properly and then a few more minutes wrangling wandering attention and hushing side-conversations.
Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:
Hey @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov do not let me hear one more word about “guardrails” or “training” for this disgusting criminal enterprise
I hope this well-reported but sickening story, is widely shared and motivates people in office at all levels of government to do more now, not in November but right now with whatever they can bring to bear.
We're going to need the wisdom of many mentors to survive these difficult times.
