I came here to say this. In the early 2000s Cambodia was still trying to rebuild their basic scientific infrastructure.

"Quite close." How many Friedman units is that?

Just picked up @tomlevenson.bsky.social new book. Looking forward to reading it

Fucking hell. This is really outrageous.

@defendpublichealth.bsky.social is asking people to show up at town halls between now and when Congress reconvenes at the end of the month. We need to push back against NIH cuts and political interference. 1/
