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.

If you enjoyed the below article, may I offer up the (in)famous Shugar Kane medicine cabinets study. We withdrew the submission when it was accepted and the (predatory) journal wanted $$$. ๐Ÿงชhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1qM0mQDNmYbhbZSobESSTo81ihV2yguFNMNZb13C91V4/edit?usp=sharing

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

this is how i struggle with my architecture team - getting them to recognize the normal patterns are either not achievable in operations or engineering, or aren't addressing the threats/risks in what the application/technology team is asking to do

Security maturity isnโ€™t knowing more patternsโ€ฆ itโ€™s knowing when to ignore them.

The flexible practitioner asks: โ€œGiven my actual threats, constraints, and context, whatโ€™s the simplest sufficient control?โ€

Sometimes thatโ€™s a novel approach your certs never mentioned.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called โ€œkidsโ€ to excuse their hate. Theyโ€™re not boys and girls, theyโ€™re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

โ€œYouโ€™re not making art, youโ€™re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone elseโ€™s throat hoping theyโ€™ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.โ€

3 ways you can make noise about the shutdown if you have a GOP Member of Congress.

1) Find where they publicly said Dems want healthcare for illegals [sic] and--in the most aggrieved voice possible--berate them for claiming their constituents who rely on ACA are not real Americans.
