Shannon “Entropy” Geary

In the late 90s, the company 3M made a disturbing discovery, explains @rachelfrazin.bsky.social. They could not find a single person whose blood was free from forever chemicals. She joins us this week to discuss her latest book, "Poisoning the Well" bigpicturescience.org/episodes/som...

Skrmetti is hideously evil I'd say check in on your trans friends but like frankly we're past give your trans friends money we're all the way out at if you want to help us we need you to be organizing a workers council

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

The shareholders will NOT be pleased

YouTube video by WCVB Channel 5 Boston Surveillance shows Tufts graduate student detained

Jesus this is a kidnapping video of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk being detained by plain clothes immigration forces. Remember that Columbia agreed to a "no masks" policy for its fucking students while these thugs keep their faces covered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuFI...

I couldn't do what I do w/out the generosity of scientists, many of whom have taken calls while on vacation, while ill, or while dealing with personal tragedies. They communicate complex ideas, oftentimes in a second language. They have made me laugh, cry, and buckle beneath the wonder of it all. 🧪

Scientists do not get paid for getting quoted in the newspaper about science.

People know this, right?

Last year I was quoted in about 30 media articles, and I received a grand total of $0 for this.

We do it because it’s important, not because we get paid.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

We spoke with @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social on @bipisci.bsky.social for our episode "Preventable," and it's a conversation I won't soon forget. Equal parts empathetic and informative, and clearly lays out the injustice currently baked into our global health system. Horrifically relevant.

if this is you please email tips@defector.com we would love to talk to you

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases we know of. It is also preventable. But as vaccine hesitancy rises, more outbreaks are likely to follow. We're joined by @adamratnermd.bsky.social to discuss the lessons measles can teach us about public health. bit.ly/41B0p0u

As @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social says in this week's episode of @bipisci.bsky.social, "Tuberculosis is the exemplary disease of injustice"

We've got a great episode out this week. @adamratnermd.bsky.social and @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social provide great insights into why our healthcare systems continue to allow people to die of preventable - and curable - illnesses.

“It should be obvious to everyone that what’s happening on this campus is not about protecting Jews.” -Columbia Professor Emerita Marianne Hirsch, daughter of Holocaust survivors

#FreeMahmoud

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE

Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody.

We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

A crowd has gathered for the NYC protest against the illegal ICE arrest of Columbia grad student Mahmoud Khalil. Protesters are chanting and calling for his immediate release.

Check out our conversation with @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social about his new book, “Everything is Tuberculosis.” As the US gov continues to make cuts to global health funding, it’s unfortunately never been more relevant.

“Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett joked to hundreds of people about sending explosive devices to dissenting event attendees at a talk at the Harvard Business School on Thursday, according to six people present at the discussion.”

This will directly cause hundreds of thousands of new and needless deaths from tuberculosis every year, and reverse decades of progress in fighting our deadliest infection. I'm just devastated.

@columbiauniversity.bsky.social I got a long, pandering alumni email about all the ways you're going to "protect" students on campus.

What about your students standing up against genocide? Did you willfully forget that you have Palestinian students on campus as well?
