This administration, the members of Congress who allowed this war to continue without real oversight, and a society that stays silent share responsibility. How many children must die? How many American lives will it take before this country reverses the course we found ourselves in? #TwilightZone

Good news today: @standupforscience.bsky.social is organizing rallies for science. 💪

Bad news:
Funded science is way down.

This is why I said wks ago the budget bill was “bad because it doesn’t go far enough.” How the science agencies are governed matters!!! This is killing labs. 🧪

Human hippocampal neurogenesis in adulthood, ageing and Alzheimer’s disease - Nature Mapping of neurogenesis in human hippocampi across ages and different cognitive abilities using multiomic single-cell sequencing reveals distinct signatures between cognitive preservation and decline.

Aged adults with extraordinary memory capacity – known as SuperAgers – exhibit a unique neurogenesis profile with a surprisingly high number of young neurons, according to a study published in Nature. 🧪 #Neuroscience

While the actions of those in power may try to pull women scientists backward…our children are already drawing the future differently.

Kids are now drawing scientists as women 🧪✨
The future will be different, because they already see it that way. 😍

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

Honored to be invited to speak by @blackinbme.bsky.social and @latinxinbme.bsky.social about being an editor and publishing in nBME!

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

I’m getting to KNOW myself at 43 - it's a bit surreal!
I spent most of my life having no real idea who I was, just adapting, compensating, pushing through. The next half will be far less painful, now that I finally have the language and the knowledge to understand myself.

#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow

During his historic performance at the Super Bowl LX, Bad Bunny shouts out all the countries in America.

Only Bad Bunny could remind me what it felt like to proud to be a part of America. #SuperBunny

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

"The only thing more powerful than hate is love" #BadBunny #SuperBowl

American Idiot playing on Super Bowl Sunday at this precise moment in American history is surreal. Here's to us not letting the point sail over our heads.

Congratulations, António José Seguro, on your election as President of Portugal.

The Portuguese citizens have spoken and, in the face of devastation caused by the storms, demonstrated remarkable democratic resilience.

Portugal’s voice for our shared European values remains strong.

Socialist defeats far-right candidate in Portugal's presidential runoff, exit polls show Moderate Socialist Antonio Jose Seguro appeared to be headed for a landslide victory in Portugal's presidential runoff on Sunday, with two exit polls putting him in the 67%-73% range, well ahead of hi...

Two presedential candidates - one grounded in shared values, committed to representing everyone, and speaking based on facts, and another who uses hate and racist speech, that spreads misformation and lies.

The choice NEEDS to be overwhelming!
No space for far-right voices.
This is how it's done🇵🇹

This is precisely why Donald Trump and Pamela Jo Bondi are *obsessed* with controlling the voting in the midterms. They are terrified.

Ready for the halftime show!
