There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

In addition, many of the off-shored CROs and CDMOs often need US based consultants to advise customers for API development (unfortunately this can also involve lots of travel).

Would also recommend looking at CMC roles for drug substance/API at smaller companies that are much more externalized where much of the job is out sourcing the process development and validation to CROs.

PokΓ©mon turns 30 β€” how the fictional pocket monsters shaped science The Japanese media sensation has inspired generations of researchers in fields as diverse as evolution, biodiversity and research integrity.

For PokΓ©mon’s 30th anniversary, Nature spoke to scientists from around the world about how their work has been shaped by playing PokΓ©mon games, watching animated TV series and films and trading cards in school playgrounds. πŸ§ͺ

Or if Tuesday is utterly desaturated to the point where all choice is arbitrary, Wednesday too.

Thursday, I will not make an effort to conjure you in my thoughts. I find you stupid and weak.

Why AI Is 'Not Particularly Good' at Curing Disease (Plus: The Next GLP-1 Boom and Why America Hates Big Pharma) A wide-ranging interview with Dave Ricks, the CEO of Eli Lilly, which makes the GLP-1 drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound and recently became the first trillion-dollar pharma company in history

Striking @dkthomp.bsky.social interview w/ Eli Lilly CEO Dave Ricks covering the widespread effects of GLP-1 drugs, AI as a bad cancer-cure finder, why people hate Big Pharma, and more.

Gotta say, I often wonder if these drugs will end up having way more long-term impact on our lives than AI.

I would like to see Pritzker and Newsom declare a state tax receivership fund whereby citizens pay their federal tax liabilities into a state-run escrow account rather than directly to the IRS.

The state can hold these funds in trust for the federal government until Trump obeys the Impoundment Act.

Counterpoint: No.

ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.

Just to put this in context:

Estimates suggest that it would cost $9 to $11 billion dollars annually to effectively provide housing for those experiencing homelessness in the U.S.

The same is estimated to feed the hungry in the U.S.

ICE is spending $38 billion on cages.
