White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Avec déjà environ 500 000 morts, la guerre entre la Russie et l’Ukraine est le pire bain de sang en Europe depuis 1945 Malgré la classification des pertes militaires de part et d’autre et des difficultés à comptabiliser les victimes civiles, particulièrement dans les zones occupées, des efforts hors champ de bataille et des recoupements de données publiques permettent d’évaluer l’ampleur colossale du bilan humain de ces quatre années de guerre.

Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows Chronic ocean heating is fuelling a “staggering and deeply concerning” loss of marine life, a study has found, with fish levels falling by 7.2% from as little as 0.1C of warming per decade. Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 populations in the northern hemisphere between 1993 and 2021, and isolated the effect of the decadal rate of seabed warming from short shifts such as marine heatwaves. They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year. Continue reading...

Schließung des Instituts für Archäologie an der HU-Berlin Die Archäologie gehört seit fast 200 Jahren zur wissenschaftlichen Tradition der Humboldt-Universität. Ihre Schließung bedeutet den Abbruch einer gewachsenen Forschungstradition und eine dauerhafte Sc...

Wenn ihr eine Minute Zeit habt, unterschreibt diese Petition gegen die mittelfristige Schließung des Archäologischen Instituts an der HU Berlin im Rahmen der Sparmaßnahmen:

SpaceX will move its focus away from Mars, and towards the more realistic short term goal of an AI factory on the Moon that will build a needle big enough to fit a camel through.

Faschistische Bewegungen zeichnen sich durch eine Reihe von Charakteristika aus: Führerkult, paranoide Weltbilder, die permanent geschürt werden, ein absolutes Schwarz-Weiß-Denken. Aggression, die unablässig aufgepeitscht wird. Maximale negative Emotionalisierung… Meine Kolumne 👇

As one of the leading scientists in super-resolution microscopy and a truly remarkable individual, Markus is at the forefront of the field. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the future of bioimaging!

#Antibodies are often too bulky to reach every target in dense clusters, leading to incomplete labeling. #expansionmicroscopy solves this by physically separating proteins, which facilitates efficient labeling and reveals protein complexes.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Three numbers every American should know today.

Bezos paid Trump $40 million for the 'Melania' documentary.

Now, Bezos saves $8 billion because of Trump's corporate tax cuts.

While 17 million Americans lose health care.

Corruption, plain and simple.

UK could ‘lose generation of scientists’ with cuts to projects and research facilities UK’s research funding body warned best scientists taking posts oversees due to lack of job stability at home Hundreds of early career researchers have warned that the UK will lose a generation of scientists after the announcement of significant cuts to physics projects and cutting edge research facilities. Scientists working in particle physics, astronomy and nuclear physics have been told their grants will be cut by nearly a third, with project leaders asked to report back on how their research would fare with cuts up to 60%.

Der deutsche Neofaschismus steht kurz vor der Machtübernahme in zwei Bundesländern, die größte Supermacht der Welt ist in den Faschismus gekippt - und die Bundesregierung verkündet, am Holocaust-Gedenktag, den "Kampf gegen den Linksextremismus aufzustocken". Keine weiteren Fragen zum #NieWieder.

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

The largest infrastructure projects currently being built in the US appear to be data centers and detention centers. The AI boom has coincided with ICE becoming the most heavily funded government agency. It's hard not to see a connection: This is the architectures of digital fascism

Amazon’s painful Melania documentary is an unintentionally perfect portrait of American cruelty Brett Ratner film follows the first lady in the lead up to Donald Trump’s 2025 presidential inauguration

🧵🧵🧵 "Melania" reviews 🧵🧵🧵
Globe and Mail:
