James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

β€œHere’s the thing, Bill Gates: There’s no β€˜patch’ for the climate crisis. And there is no way to reboot the planet if you crash it. The only safe and reliable way out when you find yourself in a climate hole is to stop diggingβ€”and burningβ€”fossil fuels.” β€” @michaelemann.bsky.social

How in the hell is this legal? There’s no hope for trump’s DOJ, which obviously won’t bring him up on charges, but what about international jurisprudence? Can’t he be indicted under international law? Or under laws of Colombia or Venezuela? You can’t go around blowing up people based on allegations.

The Shamrock Summit when the Reagans and Mulroney sang β€œwhen Irish eyes are smiling” and they started working towards free trade.

Reagan loved free trade. And hated cheaters. That’s the truth.

I can’t believe that I’m boosting the memory of Reagan.

The questioner wasn’t disrespectful or showing a desire to β€œcreate chaos”. He was in the middle of an asking a valid question when McAllister cut him off & said he should be spanked. Who says that to a 17-year-old student? That would be be cause at the very least for discipline if he was a teacher!
