It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

A quote by H. Holden Thorp, Editor-in-chief of Science journals, on a black background. The quote is: "… why curtail a program … that cultivates and grows the number of US graduate students and future researchers?"
"There is perhaps no stronger evidence of the [Trump] administration’s objectives to reduce the quality of the US scientific workforce than its treatment of the [NSF]’s flagship Graduate Research Fellowship Program," writes H. Holden Thorp in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://scim.ag/4d0fi3N

Soooo fun at parties!

Harvard Places Math Professor Martin Nowak on Paid Administrative Leave Over Epstein Ties
Watching these “great men” of science fall one by one due to their association with Epstein, I have a single thought.
Good.
We have plenty of brilliant, decent people in science and academia. We don’t need you, we never did.
Begone.
More cheese is definitely the answer.
My decision to only care about the women’s team seems brilliant in hindsight.
There are many, many things I would like to have happen.
One of those things is for us to find a cure for ALS.

I’ve been wondering- what is the appropriate phrase for “post mid-career”? “Late career”?
(Because unless I’m planning to keep working until I’m 90, I am definitely not mid-career.)
I’m a pineapple on pizza person.
