What’s especially wild (legally) about this is that NSBP, NSHP, and SACNAS have always welcomed people of all backgrounds, including white people. NSHP has had a white president, my SACNAS leadership institute class has several white members, and NSBP has a sizable white membership.

Rockville Science Tuesday | RSC Join us for this month's Science Tuesday online lecture, "Introduction to Personal Genetics" with Rob O'Malley, Ph.D.

I have taken
the freedom of speech
that was in
the Constitution

and which

screenshot of a popup on Google Sheets with two buttons "Learn more" and "Got it" header reads "Gemini can now do more for you in Sheets" with "for" scribbled out in red, and the word AS above it, so it says "Gemini can now do more AS you in Sheets" below that: Gemini can now make requested changes and insert content directly into your files. HIGHLIGHTED TEXT: All inserted content will be attributed to you in version history. For inline features like =Al), Gemini will insert content directly. For the side panel, Gemini will provide a preview first unless it understands your goal is a direct edit, such as making a pivot table or adding conditional formatting. Gemini in Workspace can make mistakes, including about people, so double-check responses.

Babies take a lesson from soldiers in the war against malaria Inspired by a military strategy to ward off disease-carrying mosquitoes, researchers see if the technique will help cut malaria infections in little ones.

In many parts of rural Africa, babies bop around on mom's back during the daytime, where they're exposed to malaria. Treating those baby wraps with permethrin cuts that risk drastically.

"It was a level of effect that was beyond even our wildest expectations."

Science teacher here: can’t imagine anything worse for learning than an “answer machine”, which replaces research, investigation, deep thought, creativity, and craft with a simplistic and frequently incorrect snippet.

The demise of academic freedom in Texas Two cases in quick succession shows how politicization has broken Texas A&M

My first job was at Texas A&M and it stills holds a soft spot for me, but the degree of censorship is different now. University leaders side with the right wing online influencers, politicians and students calling for blood rather than faculty.
From 2023.
