Oh look, a new antibiotic for treating drug-resistant bacteria thanks to funding from the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Energy, and the National Science Foundation.

Our butts are too powerful

Last month I did a little experiment.

I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.

The results were...interesting...

Why are headlines always like "WW3 might be good for markets, actually" or "Should we eradicate trans people?" when they could all be like this

NIH to terminate or limit grants related to vaccine hesitancy and uptake The order covers more than 40 awards to researchers around the country seeking to understand why vaccine acceptance has declined.

This such bullshit. wapo.st/3Dw7WG0

The Exiles Sheffield #iwd2025 open women's event went brilliantly today. So cool to see people new to #hema just having a ball ❤️⚔️!! #sheffield #longsword #fiore #fightlikeagirl @highstorrsschool.bsky.social

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Excellent idea!!

Plugging again as we have a venue, High Storrs School in #sheffield.
For international women's day, join us The Exiles on March 8th for a free day of swords, daggers, and unarmed historical martial arts! See FAQ in image...all identifying as F, 18+, welcome!! #fightlikeagirl #hema #longsword #iwd

Excellent post - @jenniferlutris.bsky.social 🙂

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.

Trump regime bans CDC scientists from publishing work that mentions trans or non-binary people. When fascists can't burn books anymore so easily because everything's electronic and international, they just ban people from writing them.

I mean, HECK.

So chuffed for you, and thanks for making our city extra shiny 😍🙂!

WEF emphasized the lack of new antimicrobial development, with only 32 in clinical trials compared to 1800 for cancer. The risk of returning to a pre-antibiotic era was stressed, and Professor Dame Sally Davies called for funding to address the issue. #AMR

🚨Tickets now on sale for the ECR social @microbiologysociety.org Annual Conference #Microbio25 🚨

CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S.

Withdrawing US funding from the World Health Organization is a potential disaster for public health worldwide, due to the impact it will have on the important work the WHO does. Preventing the CDC from even *talking* with WHO personnel is a step much farther toward undermining global health & safety

You can haz! I haz sent!

Devastating for so many scientists in the US - I'm so sorry for all the ECR/PGR especially having travel to meetings and conferences pulled, and scientists who had job offers rescinded (and the people who had to do it).
