Sugarcane burning is a plague on these Black Floridians “I like to call it 'structured' racism.”

Today I learned that when sugarcane farmers burn their fields, a “black snow” falls for months on communities downwind. Under FL law, burns are prohibited when the wind is blowing into wealthy, white neighborhoods. They’re only allowed when it’s blowing into poor, majority black areas.

I grew up on these streets

Oh yeah, to be clear my comment was in no way an indictment of your or any other paper. But it would be amazing to have a way of marking such results within their citation context in other works as well, e.g. in the HTML version, so that one needn’t have visited the primary source to have it flagged

few outcomes, except for 99% of FDA-approved drugs, 174 recipients of 104 Nobel Prizes, training ~30K MDs and ~10K PhDs per year to enter the workforce, and a 34% reduction in age-adjusted cancer deaths since 1990 -- the largest decrease in history

I wish there were a better mechanism to flag papers whose core results have subsequently been overturned, and propagate those flags throughout the citation web containing such papers. Would be esp. helpful to jr scientists doing lit review and similar

One thing that really bothers me with the new "virtual cell" terminology is that it is currently largely focused on a very narrow definition of models that can predict effects of trans perturbations (gene dosage, drugs etc) on gene expression. 1/

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Kennedy provides a bunch of references for his claim that thimerosal in vaccines (barely used anymore) is harmful.

If a high-school student submitted this as their reference list, they would fail.

I will do what Kennedy didn’t - actually look at them. 🧵

A chart showing NYC mayoral primary results (still being counted) by regions from largest to smallest, showing the top 12. Not going to recount all the numbers, but Cuomo leads in the top two neighborhoods: the upper west side and the upper east side (generally the "older" people's neighborhoods... and then Mandami wins bsically everywhere else. Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, Astoria, Williamsburg, Park Slope, Washingtong Heights, Harlem, Flatbush, Bushwick and the East Village.

HERE IS LITERALLY ALEXANDER FUCKING HAMILTON (fed 69):

Stockton, CA: Heavily armed masked kidnappers drove up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his truck and kidnapped him. When the landscaping company owner asked the men what they were doing, the kidnappers assaulted him and pulled out a metal baton.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Senator Padilla was no angel

What amuses me is that Gavin Newsome could have probably ridden this shit all the way to the White House if he’d kept his yap close about trans girls in sports. Now no matter what he does in response to this Trump manufactured crisis, all I’ll ever think is “you raised a kid who likes Charlie Kirk.”

I appreciate the offers from other scientists to help Harvard (students, labs, etc) through this attack, but what would be most helpful is for you to use your position to contact your elected representatives and make it clear this fight isn't just Harvard, it will affect you, and their districts too

NIH funding supporting the HMMER and Infernal software projects has been terminated. NIH states that our work, as well as all other federally funded research at Harvard, is of no benefit to the US.

I subscribe to the @newyorker.com, I was part of ACT UP, I knew Larry Kramer well and know Tony Fauci too. Daniel Immerwahr's piece on RFKJr, features this and other passages that need a reponse. 1/

The NIH Director continues to misunderstand (or mischaracterize) the extent to which research is being gutted. I appreciate this program officer for speaking up.

If ever there were a camera to tempt me despite all that, it’d be the Z8/9.

Thanks for the details! I’ve always liked Nikon’s color science; I used to shoot on their DSLRs, but switched over to Sony for the A7III and now have too much Sony glass to easily go back 😭

Great photos! Did you do any noise reduction in post? Also curious what your settings were; very clean!
