After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”
And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.
Just discovered the wonderful covers of 'Genes to Cells', the journal of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan @mbsj-official.bsky.social – absolutely beautiful!
here some examples inspired by mitosis, CRISPR, the DNA helix, and plant pigments
BREAKING: For the first time in 35 years the Ig Nobel ceremony will move to Europe. "There are no immediate plans to return the ceremony to the US."

Food for thought for conference steering committees.
The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellations— it’s how the agency is governed.
For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. That’s changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com

Sound like an @theoion.com headline
Tweet by Philip Proudfoot saying Switzerland stopped being neutral after condemning U.S.–Israeli attacks on Iran as a violation of international law, quoting an Al Jazeera Breaking News headline.
A Swiss kick in the ass.
I say this every year, but:
The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better.
With a new addition for 2026:
They deeply hate AI.
What an amazing group of scientists!
Honoured to serve as President of the Swiss Young Immunologists Society (SYIS).
We aim to connect early-career immunologists across Switzerland, strengthen our community, and support professional growth.
Looking forward to what we will achieve together!

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
An insightful thread. For whoever needs to hear it.
MacKenzie Scott’s more than $26 billion in charitable gifts have arrived without warning and have led to bolstered finances, scholarships and jobs.

This #InternationalWomensDay I want to tell the story of Lilian Vaughan Morgan. I learned of Lilian this past year - what a badass.
Lilian was a leading scientist when women weren't welcome in the lab, nor even the department. But she contributed immensely to the genetics of sex determination

Indeed it is!
Mostly Jack, but I’ll take whatever comes my way! 😁
Thank you! ♥️
So proud of him.
Hundreds of scientists in Chicago, standing up for science.

Thank you for supporting science!
Thanks for coming out!
I’ll be speaking in #Boston today.
See you soon, friends.
Getting ready to Stand Up for Science in 1 hour. Join me there folks! Let’s make our voices heard!

One way to look at Newton's First La of Motion is that it takes one unbalanced force to change anything. Not majority opinion. Not good intentions. One unbalanced force, applied persistently, in a direction. Be that unbalanced force of change on March 7th. Take Back Our Science Rally standupforscience.net/march7
Still not sure if you should attend a Take Back our Science Rally today? If you do nothing, nothing will change, and the way the current administration deals with science, things need to change.

Dear SDB Members, I am writing to clarify how to fully comply with the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy without paying the current $3,910 Article Processing Fee for Open Access for your paper accepted in Developmental Biology. Attached is a diagram showing the process. Once you receive the letter of acceptance for your paper in Developmental Biology, upload the accepted and unformatted version of your manuscript to the NIH Manuscript Submission system, NIHMS (nihms.nih.gov). Select “0 months” for the embargo. Once approved, you will receive a PCMID number for your manuscript. Your manuscript will then be publicly accessible, satisfying the NIH Public Access Policy requirement. If you choose the “Open Access” option, you will pay the $3,910 Article Processing Fee. If you choose the “Subscription” option, you do not pay any fee. Developmental Biology has traditionally not charged authors for any fees as it was subsidized by institutional subscriptions. Royalties from Developmental Biology's institutional subscriptions also support SDB’s programs. SDB encourages you to ask your library to subscribe to Developmental Biology. Save your funds and support the SDB, while also fully complying with the NIH Public Access Policy! Yours truly, Richard Behringer, PhD
Another Society journal doing the right thing! @socdevbio.bsky.social confirms that upon acceptance in @devbiol.bsky.social authors can upload the accepted and unformatted version of your manuscript to the NIH Manuscript Submission system, satisfying NIH and making it available to all
I’ll be there! See you there!
We're still standing up for science in Chicago!
