This is true of so, so, so many things. You can try a game of saying, β€œhey, what would be true if both my experience and this fact that feels opposite of my experience were true at the same time”. I think it is really useful. You don’t have live in that space but its okay to play in it.

I think of it that there are two types of importance. The importance of me being me and what I need. And the importance of me being a part of things and impacting others and my world in small ways just by being there and present

I assume you're looking for human genetics not microbial so I can only help with a repost πŸ˜”

The lab has asked for an intro to genetics book for the lab library. Do folks have any recommendations?

I can’t believe I have to make this statement but here it is:

There are experts who believe in BOTH modern vaccines and medicines AND traditional plant medicine/ natural remedies.

And we dont really conjure the media or capture audiences like the extremists do. πŸ‘€

A US Navy aircraft carrier in the Red Sea fight just lost a third Super Hornet. The $60 million jet went overboard on landing. The F/A-18 tried landing on the USS Harry S. Truman but went overboard after the arrestment failed, a defense official said.

I officially dub this the Yeet Fleet.

Anyone seen writing that thinks about fossil fuels as a kind of time travel?

Fictional or scholarly.

I had an undergrad prof who always made comments like this.

Frustrated one day, I finally asked him who raised us [to be so displeasing].

I don't think he ever brought it up again.

Yes! The music is awesome!

And if you haven't already, consider watching Emilia Perez - it's apparently based on a modern opera & also has amazing music(al scenes)

We signed our lease today, which means I can tell you Good Girl Books will be located at 7685 W Northshore Drive between Richy Kreme donuts and Flourish flowers in Knoxville! We bought a can of pink paint today! IT’S HAPPENING! (Also donuts, flowers, and romance novels is a helluva day!)

Me too! My little will eat nearly any fruit or vegetable & is in the habit of trying at least 1 bite of anything, but the list of reliable foods has become increasingly restricted over the last year - add to that diverging dietary needs for the grown ups & I'm running out of ideas 😭

All of this. Public Radio affiliates are often the only thing on the dial in the rural U.S. that isn’t right-wing talk radio or Christian proselytizing (is there a difference these days ha hah ugh) and they do so much good, necessary reporting, even if they don’t get everything right

Well, I mean, we haven't gotten her to stop watching Fox when FiL puts it on, but I did get her to go to Harshbarger's office once to at least ask about what's going on so IDK - at a minimum, she can't say that she wasn't told!

Agree! One of the first things that got through was showing my MiL the proposed Medicaid cuts. As a scientist, I'm very fact heavy, but there's data that presenting opposing facts only solidifies the existing position - so then I get overwhelmed & don't know where to start lol
