Cannot emphasize this enough.

On the whole, police don’t solve crimes for shit, and they don’t prevent crimes for shit. They are actively bad at both. The average Law & Order fan would be stunned to tears after following around real cops for a day.

Face on a cake

Congrats to @micromal.bsky.social on his successful thesis defense!!

Minting another PhD in marine science!! This one is extra sweet.

I tried to explain this to a reporter today. When you are constantly under threat of budget cuts or have actual budget cuts, shit gets efficient real quick because it is that or cease to exist.

Blue text says Final Thought (underlined). Then it says Please be real with yourself over who (underlined) you are reaching and whether that will *save any of us*. then underneath there are two bullet points. Doing what we have always done has failed. Sometimes the approaches that reach NEW AUDIENCES are not "respectable" or fantastic CV lines.

It's not a pretty slide

Also @micromal.bsky.social is a month out from his PhD defense. Send him all the love and encouragement to write like the wind. 💩🦐🦠

Got the music pumping for sure!! 🤠

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders UN Chief on the Horrific Humanitarian Disaster in Gaza

"Listen to a top UN official describe the horrific humanitarian disaster in Gaza right now:

"I can tell you from having visited...death on this scale has a sound and a smell that does not leave you."

History will never forget that we enabled this atrocity."

My lab and Chuck Farah's at the University of São Paulo (USP) are seeking a postdoc to join an exciting project focused on applying structural biology to novel and unexplored targets in antibiotic discovery.

Hahaha I love it. It’s cute!

Welcome to BlueSky @micromal.bsky.social and @treevaughn.bsky.social

World - look out for these guys - someday they will graduate and spread their science genius and joy worldwide.

No pressure guys, but I have expectations. 😉

🫂 thanks boss! #bestadvisor

Quick shoutout to all the core facility staff at UD. Today @treevaughn.bsky.social and @micromal.bsky.social are on the main campus working on fancy instruments with the help of dedicated, patient and competent staff members! Definitely a bright side of being at UD - our core centers rock.

Hello world! Is this thing on? Currently writing and I may have forgotten how social media works… whoops!
