Trump Cuts Threaten Agency Running Meals on Wheels A tiny division responsible for overseeing services for people with disabilities and older Americans is being dismantled as part of an overhaul by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary.

I volunteer my time delivering meals for #MealsOnWheels. I know first hand how the elderly and infirm in need rely on these important services. Call your representatives and tell them to stop the cruelty by Trump and RFKJr and maintain MOW funding. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/h...

New NSF FAQ - Scientists not allowed to study disinformation…Isn’t attempting to sort fact from fiction part of the job?

β€œFree speech” is the priority, but certain words like β€œwomen” and β€œBlack people” are targets

It’s so embarrassing being shut down by people that don’t understand basic logic 😩

1/ Hey y'all, I'm excited to share my latest paper, which is out now in PNAS! We introduce FAVA, a statistical framework to measure compositional variability across microbiome samples. If you want to measure variability across a stacked bar plot, FAVA is for you! Paper: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

AOC was right.

It's probably the right time for a lot of people to start entering the fray and running establishment Dems out of office.
