My paper made the homepage of Science Magazine!! Actual Science Magazine!! Makes me think it's time to discuss the data... 🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… (also, hello to that seal! 🦭)

Vaping while drinking raw milk. MAHA!

UnitedHealth used AI to deny claims with a 90% error rate Meta and X exploit overseas workers with AI assigned quotas AI-deepfake scams cost us billions each year Gutting AI regulations only benefits the AI broligarchy who gave millions to Trump. Deregulation is corruption.

My family’s sweet pup, Minnie, died after a terrible accident yesterday morning. She was a source of endless joy and snuggles for me, always wanting to play. My aunt pointed out that even though she was 9 years old, we’ll never know if she would’ve outgrown her puppy energy 💔

i have received some version of this notification everyday for the last several months. what are we doing

“I don’t care about actual sexual violence against woman and girls. I just care about banning trans kids from sports.” There it is.

You can do stuff like free buses and childcare when you don’t spend $60 mill + of taxpayer dollars in legal fees for preying on your own staff.

Sexual harassment by the governor is not only reprehensible because it is demeaning and gross. It’s also because your taxes are used to pay out the damages— we collectively deserve better.

ICE is rapidly hiring social workers. I’m studying for my license and receive these ads constantly. these jobs are flagged as “above average” with significantly higher salaries compared to your typical social work job. disturbing.

The NIH has decided that scientists can only submit 6 grants a year. OK. But you need a score that’s < 10% at least to get funded. Meaning, at best, 1 out of 10 grants you submit will have a chance (YMMV of course). 🫠

Thrilled to be the 2025 recipient of the Sidney & Joan Pestka Graduate Award from @CytokineSociety !! Can't wait to present my work in Seattle in November 🥳 signals.cytokinesociety.org/2025/07/14/202…

RFK Jr has finalized the firing of thousands of workers from the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, & other federal health agencies. Decimating our health agencies will make us sicker, not healthier.

For years, @VickieforNYC has disgraced the City Council. She compared vaccine mandates to the Holocaust. She called LGBTQ people “groomers.” Now she’s slandered the partner of a murder victim. @NYCSpeakerAdams needs to expel her. 🚮 Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/letters/expel-…

ai will make life on earth worse in more ways than we can conceive of. but, yes, pls tell me again how outsourcing ur meal planning to chatgpt saves 20 precious minutes every week x.com/nkulw/status/1…

I guess it turns out all those Zoomers shaming people using AI because of its water usage and ecosystem damage were pretty much on the money!

Okay but destroying all the drinkable water on earth is surely a small price to pay for programs that can kinda write a B- high school English paper in a class where the teacher is checked out.

Sooooo happy that my summer mentee from 2 years ago has joined the Bridge Scholars @MSKEducation 😁🎉

andrea gibson’s poetry is one of the few things that kept me together when everything felt meaningless. the world lost a beautiful spirit today and everyone should take the time to read their poetry if they haven’t already

getting weirder and weirder to show up at work every day as a researcher at a university and pretend we're not witnessing the active dismantling of American research universities

The Pentagon, which has failed 7 straight audits, just gave $200,000,000 of our tax dollars to Elon Musk to use xAI. Meanwhile, funding for food banks were cut in the name of “efficiency.”
