Called my members of Congress tonight to tell them what I think they should do ... y'all have too, right?

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

I want to vomit.

“Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors… citizens were among those detained ...agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers” www.wbez.org/immigration/...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Thank you @cantwell.senate.gov, from a member of your district

Legendary Southern California bands X and Los Lobos abruptly cancel tour The long-awaited tour between Los Angeles punk pioneers X and Chicano rock stalwarts Los Lobos has been abruptly canceled, with the bands citing “circumstances beyond our control.”

Awww, dang. I finally got around to buying myself tickets to the X and @loslobos.org show, but had missed the news that nearly the whole tour is cancelled. I hope all the members of the bands are OK and know I love them so. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Best part of all about this position? You'd get to work closely with @markusdeserno.bsky.social! Apply!

Great job, Washington State and @doh.wa.gov ! It is awesome to see COVID vaccines available and advertised again on the doors of this pharmacy. I've booked my appointment for my dual flu/COVID vaccination and am looking forward it!

US colleagues: we've got 4 days to submit comments! It's easy! Clear steps for writing an impactful public comment are compiled by a group of scientists: publiccommentproject.org/how-to. Amending 8 CFR 214.2 imposes a bad 4-yr cap, and students can't follow you to change programs if you change jobs

Hurrah! Congratulations @hawa-racine.bsky.social!

Thank you, @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social! This announcement makes me proud to be a member

Hooray! Congratulations @veatchlab.bsky.social!

Good idea. @cantwell.senate.gov, I live in your state, and I called your office today to urge you to take more substantive action (beyond a mere statement) regarding Chairman Carr overstepping his authority to police free speech that he doesn't like.

A canva graphic that says “how it works” “Step 1: Go to SkypeAScientist.com Step 2: Click “Sign Up” then “Educator Sign Up Form” Step 3: Tell us about your class Step 4: Get matched with a scientist Step 5: Connect to talk about your needs Step 6: Enrich your students’ understanding of science”

Alright I have something useful for you to do.

Think of any teachers and librarians you know. Do they know about Skype a scientist? Our program matches classrooms & other groups w/scientists for virtual Q&As. It’s free!

Heartily endorse! THREE grad students from my group have taken positions like these at UW Tacoma after earning their PhDs. They had fantastic flexibility to design curricula and explore innovative teaching practices.

The image is a screenshot from the website https://artsci.washington.edu/news/2025-09/where-world-arts-sciences. The photo shows two smiling scientists, Sena Noaman and Akira Yoshino. They are both wearing glasses and they have conference name tags on lanyards around their necks. The text says "Sena Noaman, Doctoral Student, Chemistry. Sena Noaman attended the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Germany. (In the photo, Sena is with 2019 Nobel laureate Akira Yoshino.) The travel was supported by the Department of Chemistry's George H. Hitchings Endowed Scholarship Fund."

I'm so grateful to every donor to the UW Dept. of Chemistry! Donations help our students do things that our federal grants could not support. For example, Sena, a great grad student in my group, traveled to the Lindau Conference in Germany to talk with Nobel laureates! Go @uwchemistry.bsky.social!

Confused about your eligibility for the Covid shot? In Washington state, you’re covered Thanks to a standing order signed by the state health officer Thursday, anyone in Washington state can get the Covid-19 vaccine without consulting their doctor.

Flu Shot & COVID-19 Booster Clinics 2025 The Whole U is partnering with the Seattle Visiting Nurse Association to offer flu shot and COVID-19 booster vaccine clinics across our campuses this fall. Everyone attending a clinic must register...

Hey University of Washington colleagues – as usual, UW will be hosting flu shot & COVID-19 booster clinics this fall. You can choose one or both. There are many dates available, in Seattle, Tacoma, Bothell, and Renton. I just booked my appointment. See you there! thewholeu.uw.edu/2025/08/29/f...

OK, done! Thank you for the link – the handy script made it super easy and fast to call my members of Congress.

Dear @doh.wa.gov: My local pharmacy used blue tape to cover up “covid” in their list of possible vaccines. I like how you boosted immunization at bsky.app/profile/doh.... . Please follow New Mexico’s lead in issuing a health order removing federal vaccine restrictions (see bsky.app/profile/luck...)

Hey friends in academia - do you have open slots in your seminar schedule that you are trying to fill with a speaker who has expertise in biology and/or ecology? This list started by @jacquelyngill.bsky.social would serve as an excellent resource for helping support early-career researchers

Look at what just popped up on my feed from the bioRxiv! It is an other paper by @vesiclesmasher.bsky.social on how flow across a cell pushes proteins around on the surface of the cell. Congratulations, Aurelia (and also to Sreeja, Leah, Larissa, Liliane, Samuel, Linda, and Damien)!
