Time to focus my weed science and outreach efforts here! Like what weeds I’m eating this year!

Superweed in NYS Found Resistant to Widely Used Herbicide Research has confirmed that waterhemp populations in New York state are resistant to one of the most common herbicides.

Using #covercrops to minimize waterhemp seed rain is valuable and necessary because this superweed new to NY is resistant to glyphosate AND mesotrione AND atrazine AND thifensulfuron. Thanks to excellent work by

Yes, as should our members of Congress. It's yet another measure of cowardice that all of them aren't screaming to the rafters about these cuts; "leopards' faces" hypocrisy notwithstanding, these will deeply and negatively affect their constituents' lives.

WaPo quote: “A Washington Post review of Kennedy's public appearances found he also promoted these centers as particularly beneficial for Black youth. "Every Black kid is now just standard put on Adderall, on SSRIs, benzos which are known to induce violence and those kids are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get re-parented, to live in a community where there'll be no cellphones, no screens. You'll actually have to talk to people," Kennedy said in a June 2024 episode of the 19Keys online show”

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

This piece by Anne Linn, a dedicated USAID worker and devout Christian, exemplifies the fundamental question we all are dealing with as Americans.

Are we great because we have power ? Or because we use our power to do good ?

Apropos of nothing…I think it is important to remember that a subset of the America people lost their absolute shit because they thought NPR was spewing liberal propaganda on the 4th of July.

And it was only a reading of the US Constitution.

To all the former federal employees with scientific or administrative expertise and who are looking for new opportunities in the NY state area, please send me your resume and details (jjentsch at binghamton dot edu)

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me.

Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."

They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

American science and medicine has been thrown into chaos and uncertainty over the past week. Here are some stories to get up to speed. 1/12

Absolutely!
