Interesting! My work on 19th century women, Sulpician art, and the Sacred Heart would also imply that sentiment is a powerful motivator and connector.

un chercheur du CNRS dans le domaine spatial en route pour un colloque à Houston a été refoulé par les autorités américaines et son matériel informatique confisqué, parce que des propos critiques envers Trump ont été retrouvés dans son téléphone et son ordinateur

Was French #abolitionism secular, unlike its well-known (and self-proclaimed unique) British counterpart? @papaerc.bsky.social (Damien Tricoire) & Jeremy Popkin (Un. of Kentucky) connect the French #Enlightenment to a longer history of Catholic-informed #Atlantic #antislavery 1/3

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

These cuts will have effects that reverberate for years. The chaos itself disrupts the long-term planning needed for good science. And that’s different from the private sector.

It takes years to build a science lab Productive science requires a great team, and that team develops together. That's one reason chaotic interference is dangerous for science.

"It takes years to build a science lab." New post from us.

"The long timelines to build up a team... make science research work different than many parts of the private sector."

Science is hard to build but easy to break. The uncertainty is right now breaking cancer research. 🧪

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

I have heard from multiple sources today that lawyers who provide Know Your Rights presentations in ICE detention centers have been kicked out completely.

These presentations are sometimes the only way people in detention find out details about the process they’re going through.
