On what the future looks like unless folks make some noise! We need everyone calling their reps! At a payline of 10%, that means 1 in 10 apps gets funding. We will be looking at 1 in 20 to 1 in 100.

Never Flinch, Stephen King’s latest.

The President’s FY26 Budget cuts NIH funding by nearly 40%, This would halt critical hematology research progress. ASH urges Congress to reject these cuts and support sustained medical research funding.

To Those Who Call Themselves Christian But Justify the Order of the World My god you think that's what love is? Go to your little, bitter meetings, your callous rallies, your fear that steals your souls. You think you can choose who is beautiful? Your country is open to the chosen— while somewhere, in the shadows of your houses, the one you believe you are hearing is hanging in a crown of thorns, in agony, burning the world with mercy, his arms in an embrace he cannot close. —Joseph Fasano

Weather and climate data shown on this website and countless others are at risk. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the U.S. agency responsible for global weather forecasting, hurricane prediction, ocean observation, and many other services vital to public safety. Its satellites, supercomputers, and research teams provide essential data that help us understand our planet and protect lives. On February 27, the new U.S. administration initiated mass firings at NOAA. These actions are unethical and deeply disruptive to the talented scientists and engineers who dedicate themselves to the public good. The firings, along with expected budget cuts, have serious implications for the availability and quality of weather forecasts produced by the United States. They must be reversed immediately. Much of the data on this website is downloaded directly from NOAA's servers. In this environment of uncertainty, access could be disrupted at any time. While I'll strive to keep all features on this website functional and switch to alternative data sources if necessary, some datasets have no substitute if they go offline. If this concerns you, speak up. Share on social media. And if you're in the U.S., contact your representatives. - Cameron •

If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

That feeling of being bullied, talked over, cut off, made to feel like you aren't grateful enough...felt uncomfortably familiar.

I'm assuming others also had a visceral reaction to that "conversation" becase on their own personal experiences with situations like this.

"The result, shown in the figure, is sweet and fruity, may be chilled if desired, and is best enjoyed with a hematologist." 😆

One of my favorite things about living in Brookfield are the many parks we get to enjoy.

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random.

Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea

Just a reminder 💚

The time has now come,
Yet the future shines so bright
See you again soon

An interesting paper in Blood by Dr. Samur suggesting that the cell that eventually becomes myeloma first acquires extra chromosome in 2nd decade of life and becomes fully hyperdiploid by 3rd. Implication for many cancers. @pedalheadphx.bsky.social @auclairdan.bsky.social @szusmani.bsky.social

Remember that type 1 and type 2 errors go the same order as the boy who cried wolf.
Type 1 - villagers believed there was a wolf (effect) when there wasn't.
Type 2 - villagers didn't believe there was a wolf (effect) when there was.

An alternative for those of us that find X unusable. I for one, am enjoying #bluesky thus far.

Pancreatic Cancer Surge May Be Less Worrisome Than It Seemed A rise in the disease in younger people was not followed by an increase in deaths, a study found, and might be a sign of overdiagnosis.
