Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants
Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates
Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Trumpβs War on Competence
How the Right became polarized against knowing things
"Politics is so much easier when you can say whatever you want, in the same way even an expert soccer player will not score many goals against an unskilled opponent who insists the sport being played is rugby."
Tone reminds me of @kenwhite.bsky.social

npj Aging - Psilocybin treatment extends cellular lifespan and improves survival of aged mice
Imagine tripping in a small, smelly mouse cage in the bowels of some academic hall. I bet those telomeres would be even longer if the mice were in an outdoor pen with live grass and dirt! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My NSF PRFB on the genetics of female polymorphism in hummingbirds was terminated yesterday.
I don't have much to say, I'm just sad. We've discovered so much, and could have gone so much further.
If anyone else is in the same boat, esp postdocs, please reach out, it would be good to connect.

Opinion | We Found a Work Around to Trump Defunding Science
When knowledge is threatened, donβt just mourn it. Build around it.
They canceled the National Nature Assessment. We kept going. The science didnβt stop. Neither did our hope, or our resolve. The work is still happeningβindependent, evolving, and grounded in purpose. Because weareunitedbynature.org

Stop throwing wrenches in our curiosity machine!
Honored to speak at #StandUpForScience Denver today. Thanks to event organizers @ssenese.bsky.social et al., and the amazing crowd (500 people? 1,000?) for coming out on a cold day to stand up together for our fundamental right to wonder.
