I shall wear white flannel trousers & walk upon the beach
I have heard the mermaids calling each to each
I do not think that they will call to me

Yikes

A fact more honored in the breach than the observance

It's time @wired.com did an article on this weird dispute

If this makes you mad, you can do something about it:

The Woman Redeemed by Trees A story about connection by the National Book Award winner.

Beautiful. Prose a bit purple but a lovely tribute to an amazing woman. nautil.us/the-woman-re...

Congratulations to Sable Systems International on yet another record-breaking year! An amazingly talented team & a great corporate culture. Plus international collaborations in both science & industry, including diversifying our manufacturing locations. Truly an international company 🧪👊❤️

This is about as close to Paradise as tou can get without the inconvenience of dying first. Highly recommended!

Just spoke to The Hill about how the dismantling of the NIH is impacting science in America. We still face a cliff of unfathomable heights, w easily 1000+ labs poised to close in the next year due to funding ending. A generation of young scientists lost because there is nowhere for them to train.

Sad, tho, that there's a simply stupid, hard cutoff at age 55. I understand why (health costs etc.) but there are many people way above 55 who have drive, mental agility etc. orders of magnitude greater than people half their age.

I wish! I won't be going in person but will be sending good vibes.

Just a week 'til the Keystone Symposium on #Obesity & #Cardiometabolism (Jan 26-29, Keystone, CO, USA)! A stimulating meeting amidst beautiful mountains. Are you going? Come say hi & tell us about your research! 🧪https://www.keystonesymposia.org/conferences/conference-listing/meeting/j62026

Damnit, the simulated Titan atmosphere achieved sentience & grows more & more turbulent

This is the exact quote I have been searching for with regard to what is happening with science

Great news! There are still a couple of places left for Sable Systems' Basic (Classic Line) Metabolic Measurement Course which will be taking place in lovely Las Vegas in February. Great science, great networking - be there or be square! 🧪 www.sablesys.com/sable-event/...

Comparative Physiology FTW

A formal color portrait of Grace Hopper in her later years, standing with arms confidently crossed. She wears the full dress blue uniform of a U.S. Navy rear admiral, complete with gold shoulder boards bearing stars, a combination cap with elaborate gold embroidery and eagle insignia, ribbon bars, and a name tag reading "COMO HOPPER." Her short white hair is neatly styled, and she wears large glasses, gazing directly at the camera with a serious, resolute expression. A large American flag with gold fringe and tassels hangs prominently behind her against a plain backdrop.

"Amazing Grace" Hopper died #OTD in 1992.

+PhD in #Mathematics, Yale
+Rear Admiral, US Navy
+Invented the first computer compiler, foundational to modern software
+Co-developed COBOL, one of the earliest standardized computer languages

Calling all #mycologists! This weird, mostly subterranean fungus peers out from the soil after rain. Location: Las Vegas, NV. Quarter included for scale. Any idea what the mystery fungus might be?

Screenshot from project 2025 that says By statute or regulation, CDC guidance must be prohibited from taking on a prescriptive character. For example, never again should CDC officials be allowed to say in their official capacity that school children "should be" masked or vaccinated (through a schedule or otherwise) or prohibited from learning in a school building. Such decisions should be left to parents and medical providers. We have learned that when CDC says what people "should" do, it readily becomes a "must" backed by severe punishments, including criminal penalties. CDC should report on the risks and effectiveness of all infectious disease-mitigation measures dispassionately and leave the "should" and "must" policy calls to politically accountable parties. Conflicts of Interest. There was a time when the CDC could not take money

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate - & thanks for sharing the travel horror/suspense stories, EB. Most people gloss over the weirdnesses of travel & don't seem to realize how well these stories resonate with other frequent travelers

About time! GMT, anyway

Sorry, I'll see myself out

Trump admin axed 383 active clinical trials, dumping over 74K participants It’s a “violation of foundational ethical principles of human participant research.”…

The Trump Administration killed over 383 active clinical trials and directly harmed more than 74,000 Americans with lasting future impacts for the public at large.

Trump' s war on scientific research and public health is costing Americans lives and livelihoods.
