UC Berkeley shares 160 names with Trump administration in ‘McCarthy era’ move Prominent professor Judith Butler among students and faculty investigated for ‘alleged antisemitic incidents’

The release of personally identifiable information that was not relevant to the government’s Title VI investigation was improper. The Trump admin is investigating how the UC responded to claims of antisemitism, not the individuals named in the complaints. The AAUP condemns this move by UC Berkeley.

An appeal to help preserve a unique archive of recorded scientific talks.

The Resistance Is Inevitable.

We’re sick & tired of ICE & FBI agents profiling, harassing, & violently arresting our neighbors.

Scientists Make Breakthrough in Solving the Mystery of Life’s Origin For years, researchers have puzzled over how two ingredients for life first linked up on early Earth. Now, they’ve found the “missing link,” and demonstrated this reaction in the lab.

Nice advance in origin-of-life research: scientists get RNA and amino acids to spontaneously attach to each other (RNA aminoacylation).

Also, @404media.co is doing good work!

I have to say, I love it. Sometimes letting ppl experience consequences for their actions is in order. I certainly don't want to hear those trumpers whine and complain. F them

How Trump's executive orders are disrupting academic research As the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation review grants and programming for verboten topics—including DEI and “gender ideology”—many researchers aren’t sure if their pro...

Injecting new criteria into grant applications based on partisanship & political agendas does all the things Trump is accusing institutions of doing through DEI: create ideological rules that people have to follow in order to have their science considered.
