A crewneck sweatshirt that reads “it’s giving sepsis”

If I’m getting rolled into the ICU and see this, I’ll pull the plug myself

This is my MO too. Come on down and get some candy kids, love to get to know my neighbors and see the costumes

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

I’m just going to keep repeating that undocumented immigrant workers actually _help subsidize federal programs for everybody else_.

In 2022 alone, they paid $25.7 billion into Social Security and $6.4 billion into Medicare—both programs they can’t access due to their legal status👇🏽

China: We can repair a broken bone in minutes now.

USA: We will hunt our citizens down in the streets!

Aww A. triseriatus, my babies! Spent a lot of time rearing these guys as an undergrad. If these guys can persist, so can you!

Thanks for making this, this thread is a much needed boost right now.
My addition: we can now edit the human immune system and blood cells themselces to better fight cancer and cure sickle cell disease. All possible thanks to harnessing the bacterial alarm system CRISPR!

none of the gotcha examples of "out-of-control scientific spending" bother me in the slightest. isn't science about finding shit out? "they spent a million dollars of taxpayer money to see if they could make mice sexier" okay, well, what was the answer? I want to know too

We love I am a Bunny! We got an original run second hand and love finding all the bugs

Just a few off the top of my head: Giraffes can’t dance, the mitten, goodnight gorilla, dog’s first baby, cat’s first baby ,any book by Sandra Boynton or Eric Carle. I would try to buy a board book version if possible, they are more sturdy

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

Firing RFK Jr would unburden a lot of overworked mitochondria in this country

Every single member of this administration is just a cheap huckster trying to grift the American people. Undocumented immigrants aren’t the ones leeching off your tax dollars; Kristi Noem and her stupid friends are.

And to be clear: That doesn't mean it's not HARD.

IT IS HARD. Persistence is hard! You have to absorb a ton of information, master fields of literature, learn the cultural norms of a specialty, the research methods, on and on.

But no one with a PhD is inherently SMARTER than someone without.

I tell people this all the time! PhDs are matters of persistence (and getting there often a matter of privilege), not intelligence.

We just know a lot about a very very very tiny slice of the world.

the anti- C. elegans (and whiptail lizards) EO!!!!

Holy fuck. That's such a stark and important number to get out there: your baby is 44 per cent more likely to survive to see their first birthday if they receive all the recommended childhood vaccines on time.
