There’s a deep rot to the core of this administration and Stephen Miller is one of the most dangerous people in the country right now.

Noem’s got to go, but so does he.

I’m not voting to fund this lawless violence. Trump’s abuse of power is tearing us apart. We have 3 years left of this presidency. Either we stand up and protect our democracy now, or we risk going down a path that is unthinkable, will hurt countless people and do irreversible damage to our country.

A computational shortcut to selectivity creates precise kinase inhibitors By simulating tiny protein changes instead of screening hundreds of kinases, researchers design strong and specific Wee1 inhibitors

Researchers have developed a new computational method to design strongly binding inhibitors with low off-target effects. cen.acs.org/physical-che... #chemsky πŸ§ͺ

No you cannot determine which drugs are safe and effective with machine learning. You cannot. It will not work. People will die.

65 Percent of People Taken by ICE Had No Convictions, 93 Percent No Violent Convictions ICE’s deportation agenda is not what is being advertised to the American public. ICE is not interested in prioritizing public safety, yet it constantly pretends that anyone who objects to its tactics ...

It's rare to get real-time data on the criminal histories of immigrants arrested by ICE. Cato got access to some of these data, showing that only 7 percent of people arrested by ICE & booked into detention this fiscal year had a violent conviction. www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

I am sure that this is right. The NIH doesn’t discover many new drugs themselves (that’s not what they’re set up to do), but the fundamental research they fund is *absolutely crucial* to biomedical progress.

Watching Trump and Musk destroy it all is driving me to despair.

The state of the union is that the President is spitting in the face of the law.

He is letting an unelected billionaire fire cancer researchers and wreck federal agencies like the Social Security Administration at will.

I won't be attending tomorrow's Joint Address.

If you're an elected Dem and your entire resistance plan is to just post on Twitter and Bluesky until midterms to roll around: you are actively accelerating the destruction of our democracy and you're as big of a problem as Musk.

Just resign and let someone who will fight every day take your place.

No words for how wrong, stupid, and terrible this action is.

It should be recognized that society is still grappling with the cultural and policy implications of the rapidly shifting understanding of gender. There are some issues - such as participation in sports and appropriate medical care for minors - that remain fiercely debated, even by those who broadly support trans rights. There should be room for those conversations. But what shouldn't be debated is whether the government should target a group of Americans to be stripped of their freedom and dignity to move through the world as they choose. This is a campaign in which cruelty and humiliation seem to be the fundamental point.

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

Do it. Don’t wait, don’t gently try to open up tentative channels of communication.

These people hate you, and they are deeply suspicious of higher education in general. Speak up. Speak up now.

I think you're describing science, IMO. Everything is atop a foundation of basic research. An example: at a previous company, I worked on a series of small-molecule inhibitors of Hormone-Sensitive Lipase, a possible target for Type II diabetes and related conditions. (1/10)

Anthem Blue Cross says it's reversing a policy to limit anesthesia coverage Anthem will reverse a policy that would have capped insurance coverage for anesthesia after objections from doctors and lawmakers.

Some good news to end the week: Anthem reversed their decision to put limits on how much anesthesia they would cover.
