Even worse, we are borrowing money to do this.

I enjoy reading here, but these days that is all I can get out of it.

It was more fun because it was more useful. I could post a picture of some strange yeast colonies and learn so much, have several plausible explanations of why they looked the way they did. Here I am lucky if one person likes my post….

I still miss the old Twitter, where people actually saw and responded to my posts.

Not that I want to go to it now! I just wish there was a bit more engagement.

What is the function?

What a clever name (exxonknews)

I see, that makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

Not that it matters for my ND proposal (not NIGMS)

I had no idea you could watch and assumed they were done in private!

Great idea!

I seriously thought that was a pig

Here is the TinkCAD link if anyone wants to use it. I made the part that attaches to the lab bench earthquake thing for my lab, so it might not match another lab. I used that shape to hang all sorts of things, pippetters, kimpwipe boxes etc., even computer monitors!

I did, but most of them fall over after detaching them. I feel they would be nice for an aquarium. Maybe I can give it to a newarby fish lab!

This is my favorite one (tricolor silk filament):

I made it in Tinkercad. I can send you a link to that or I can send you the stl file.

Another cool pipette rack pattern!

Saw this today and nicely explains it why we need to keep speaking up.

They paid $68 million, made $68 billion.

I also think I can speak out more easily than some. Others more easily than me. It is relative, so no judgement. Just doing what I can.

For me it isn’t about losing my compass as, what is the point of having one if you don’t use it? And what more appropriate time to speak up than now?

I am still posting!

I agree, my point is that some scientists (or anyone depending on funding) likely feel afraid to speak. So probably more are mad than we hear.

My point was that if they take away your precheck, what’s to stop them from rejecting your grants?

Wow. This is devastating.

I am worried what we post about this will be used against us. I saw they took away tsa precheck from a protestor. I suspect that may be true for many. If true, it means many more are angry and want to speak out. It starts change when the green grocer takes the sign off the wall.
