Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein. The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude” www.science.org/content/arti...
If your profs aren't willing / able to accommodate, talk to us associate deans next. This is one of the (few) things we're good for!
(Also talk to your advisors -- they also have a suite of tools / tricks they can use!)
Really nicely done! Glad you got a good night of viewing!
Indeed. New grants are not getting funded, already funded grants are not getting paid, and non-competitive renewals are being held up.
Focusing on the top line budget, instead of looking at what is really happening on “the ground” is deeply misguided.
Family in the area (Pender) report seeing fridge shaking but thankfully haven't heard any damage
Interested in doing a PhD in tumor mechanobiology?
At Université Paris-Saclay, the upcoming PhD selection process is open, and I’m looking to put forward a candidate to join my lab.
If you’re excited about uncovering how mechanical signals regulate tumor progression, please get in touch!
The first version of FigTree was released nearly 20 years ago and it is still widely used (including by me). But there are currently 85 issues on the GitHub repo (github.com/rambaut/figt...) and some of them I don’t really like the look of.
Can astronomical imaging be more sensitive, with no additional observations?
Guo et al. apply machine learning to the co-addition (stacking) of multiple exposures. For stacks of 8 JWST NIRCam exposures, the detection limit improves by 1 magnitude. ☄️🔭 #astrocode

I'll pop out of basement on campus in a moment. We had tree bending winds when I went down
Thanks Cody!
Continue to stay where you are, Bloomington. Behemoth of a supercell. Rotation should be directly over downtown now (7:11 pm)
@cody.im hail and strong (northbound) winds at campus east or northeast of tornado, so there's that CCW rotation. Heading to basement
I see it on radar now. Tornado on the ground, west side of town. Bloomington, safe place, now.
Strongest circulation is now passing by the airport. Again, Bloomington, safe place. No obvious tornado but only takes a minute or so for one to pop out.
Sirens on IUB campus. Looks dark and ominous to west
Our tornado warning should be coming soon. More details once that happens.
Excited to share our new review in @dev-journal.bsky.social on tissue phase transitions during development!

I already reposted this earlier, but wanted to highlight the contributions of our @stsci.edu postdoc Pierluigi Rinaldi who is going hard after these LRDs & doing awesome work. His paper on Virgil is based in-part on our MIRI deep imaging survey, MIDIS, find it here: scixplorer.org/abs/2025ApJ.... 🔭
Congratulations!! You are going to blow them away at CU!
Happy to share this new, very intentional chapter. I have left UCLA after 14 years to join the University of Colorado Anschutz as Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Neurosurgery and the inaugural Marsico Chair in Excellence in Functional Precision Medicine/n

Driving, opening a bank account, and buying cold meds are not Constitutional rights, either. Comparing big macs to water.

McDonald's caviar is a 429
LOL this is how I figured the McDonald's 11 am caviar promo would turn out.
people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.
