Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine (Gift Article) A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

An important write up from the NYT on the funding changes at the NIH.

World AIDS Day 2025. It is important to recognize and acknowledge as people are still suffering. Thank you to the researchers and clinicians who fight the good fight daily (even with shrinking resources), hope and support to those currently infected, and condolences to the families of those lost.

I made this shirt for the #standupforscience protest back in the spring. Now I feel like I need one for every day of the week. That was the beginning but it has gotten so much worse in the past 7 months.
