A vibrant official NASA portrait of astronaut Laurel Clark, mission specialist on STS-107 (Space Shuttle Columbia), taken before her 2003 flight. She is shown in a three-quarter view, smiling warmly at the camera with an open, confident expression. She has shoulder-length curly brown hair and fair skin. She wears the bright orange NASA launch-and-entry suit (ACES), complete with the American flag patch on her left shoulder, NASA insignia on the chest, her name tag "LAUREL CLARK" with gold wings above it, and the STS-107 mission patch on the left chest. She rests her right arm/hand on her black-and-white NASA helmet. The helmet's reflective visor shows faint reflections of lights and surroundings. Behind her are two large vertical flags: the U.S. flag on the left with stars and stripes visible, and a dark blue NASA banner with partial text "AND SPACE A" (likely "National Aeronautics and Space Administration") on the right. The background is softly lit with a gradient of warm tones, emphasizing her poised and approachable demeanor as a physician, naval officer, and space explorer who tragically perished in the Columbia disaster. The overall composition conveys professionalism, pride, and dedication to space exploration.
US Navy Captain Dr. Laurel Clark tragically died during her first space mission (Space Shuttle Columbia). She was a mission specialist on STS-107, a 16-day dedicated science mission, conducting experiments focusing on bioscience & gardening in space. She was born #OTD in 1961.

Iโm sorry youโre going through this. The world is so unhinged right now, and thatโs not even counting whatever family/friends things might be going on in your life. I hope you find peace.
This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)
Right with you. I had to prep materials for my annual evaluation this afternoon and when they asked me for goals over the next 2-5 yrs I thought about how I can barely make goals for the week these days!
Poor buddy knows whoโd be a tasty snack during the Triassic Period.

Speaking as a social psychologistโฆyou sound like a social psychologist! (I love the idea, btw)
Spotted in Nashville this weekโฆ
I love that @modernlanguage.bsky.social has posted the depositions of the DOGE bros who gutted the National Endowment for the Humanities. All part of the lawsuit the MLA, AHA, and ACLS have filed against the federal government.
Heโs always reminded me of a crooked used car salesman
Iโm running for Congress to keep fighting for St. Louis. Iโve never been afraid to take the lead on the issues that matter: Medicare for All, reproductive rights, and so much more.
St. Louis deserves everything, and they deserve better than the representative they have right now.

YES. And, see Pop Culture Detectiveโs bsky.app/profile/popdetective.bsky.social slightly different (but related) angle on this using the Marvel universe. No idea what his background is, but his videos are incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpit...
Congrats, great work!

Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success. Data source: https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302
The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.
What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.
Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.
Jesus, this is grim. Even grants that get perfect scores arenโt guaranteed funding?!?!
A motivational montage image celebrating adventurer Tori Murden McClure, featuring a main action photo on the left and an inset formal portrait on the upper right. The primary photograph shows Tori Murden, a woman in her thirties with short brown hair, wearing sunglasses and a black short-sleeved top, triumphantly raising one arm (holding a cap) while seated and rowing in a small, specialized ocean rowboat named "SECTOR" on calm open ocean waters under a clear blue sky. The sleek, narrow boat is painted white with red and black accents, featuring bold branding including "SECTOR" in large letters, "NO LIMITS" slogan, "SOLA" (likely indicating solar-powered elements), American flags, sponsor logos like "JCR" and "TJR," solar panels on the deck, two long oars extended into the water (one with a paddle visible), a small cabin window, an antenna or mast, and the boat partially submerged in choppy blue-green sea waves. In the upper right corner is a smaller rectangular inset headshot of an older Tori Murden McClure in a professional setting: she has short dark hair, warm smile, wearing small earrings, and a dark blazer over a white blouse, posed against a neutral background in a formal portrait style. The overall composition highlights her historic achievement as the first woman and first American to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1999, blending adventure and accomplishment.
Tori Murden McClure is the first woman to row solo & unassisted across the Atlantic Ocean.
She rowed. ๐ฃโโ๏ธ๐ฎ
