A chart titled "Models of lab governance: the Andor guide," comparing two fictional lab leadersβLio Partagaz and Luthen Raelβfrom the Andor TV series. The chart mimics academic lab structures using their leadership styles: Lio Partagaz: Regular lab meetings, side collaborations encouraged, abundant public funding, focus on minimum publishable units, collective success/failure metrics. Luthen Rael: One-on-one meetings, PI dictates research topics, funded by a shadowy private benefactor, pursues high-risk moonshots, PI aims to elevate successful students and βkillβ weak ones.
Star Wars has always been obsessed with mentor-mentee relationships ("do or do not," "trust the force," etc). But Andor is specifically about different ways of running a lab, and how they all go wrong.
All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!
Bad reporting on Trump as usual from the Times - taking everything this administration does at face value
I canβt believe this video is already almost a decade old π
No question, but Iβd say be skeptical of any hype surrounding βsustainableβ deep sea miningβ¦. Those nodules are little islands of life in the deep sea desert, as the minerals in them support life in an otherwise relatively inert landscape. And once theyβre gone theyβre gone for good.

Image of the TV series The Magic School Bus accompanied by the following text: Airing on PBS in the mid-1990s, this NSF-funded animated TV show follows Ms. Frizzle and her class as they set off on field trips out of this world, including careening across the solar system, traveling through the human body or visiting the late Cretaceous period.
I was today years old when I learned that the Magic Schoolbus was an NSF-funded project.
I get the flower and clownfish, but please can some explain whatβs the non-binariness bees?? ππ
screencap: ashdylanlit it's always "kids don't need 30 dolls they can have 2 dolls" and never "rich people don't need 30 billion dollars they can have 2 billion dollars and pay taxes"

Screen shot of a label at hmart . It says wild caught atka mackerel. Product of the Russian federation
Also uhm at the risk of doxxing myself I've never seen fish from the "Russian federation" before
βWe had the same moral panic about TVβ is a common refrain when people bring up social media, but like, in terms of social-political impacts, itβs hard to not see the βmoral panicβ about TV as at least partially vindicated! A reality TV star is president! Heβs filling his admin with Fox News hosts!
Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.
π¬ the online YouTube/twitter/manosphere radicalization pipeline for young men is very real. Iβm so sorry.
This Harvard comp sci prof laments Republicansβ declining public opinion of universities and blames it on professors who, unlike him, inject politics into their classes.
As evidence of politicization, he references Google, Coinbase, Bud Lightβie not academiaβand one email from one law school TA.
Do you have to rinse the machine out extra afterwards? Like do I have to worry about staining the next load?
DAV statement on the proposal to rename Veterans Day: No.
When confronted by Trump, so many people and organizations look to polling for guidance, get paralyzed, talk in circles or just fold like a cheap suit. Disabled American Veterans, on the other hand, has taken the right approach. This is how you respond.
childhood neighborhood has been paved and built over. She says she misses cows and apple trees in her old neighborhood most. So nostalgia combined with the legitimate evils & corruption of many developers is hard to overcome. But ppl gotta live somewhere so the cows & apples have got to give π€·ββοΈ 2
Itβs not so hard to imagine. Denser, taller buildings eat away at neighborhoods with quiet tree lined streets & cute single family homes. Itβs a necessary transformation for densification but if you spent your whole life in it change is scary. My grandma in Belarus is still crushed about how her 1/
Definitely - but thatβs exactly what I mean. Idk your age, if you were around/remember 2008, but the vibe was so optimistic. Felt like big change & good future incoming. Obv he turned out more centrist. Trudeau turned out to be milquetoast. I suspect Carney will follow similar trajectory.
Once again, the main goal of Trump's tariffs is soliciting bribery.
That is why all who go looking for a coherent (if misguided) economic strategy that aims to benefit the country come away confused. Make manufacturing boom? Stop fentanyl? Generate revenue to replace income tax?
Nope. Corruption.
People are hopeful for the first time in a decade, perhaps since the first Obama and then Trudeau elections Β―\_(γ)_/Β― the criticism will come as we hit the bumps in the road
I donβt know that refugee visas are going down - I think this seems to be targeting temporary foreign workers and similar? Or have the specifics not even been ironed out?
Sounds almost exactly like BCβs Public Service messaging at the moment..
oh god, itβs true, weβre living in an era of Clippy Maxing
