From public health to high-tech innovation, universities are the workhorses of national progress.
Universities are not passive beneficiaries of government largesse. It is the federal government that depends on universities to conduct the research that keeps our nation healthy, safe and economically competitive.I discuss in the Washington Post. https://t.co/fQX5mwHu4f

Maybe because if the billionaires and venture capitalists who fund these vanity projects paid their fair share in taxes we could have the robustly funded public research enterprise the country needs?
We’ve been heads down @ArcadiaScience for a bit but the @arenabioworks news this week caused me to dump thoughts. hard things are hard; don’t be such a fucking hater. Reflections on parallels w our own institutional experiment here

Mamdani was what so many politicians, law firms, universities, media companies, and others have not been: totally, completely, authentically unafraid. That's the only way to defeat authoritarianism.

To have a voice yet be silent about the destruction of the US scientific research enterprise by Trump and RFKjr is to be complicit. Funding some science on the side does not absolve that.

Damn I love Portland
Hundreds of naked bike riders have now joined the protest in front of the ICE Facility and now there’s a massive turnout of people here. Portland PD has issued multiple warnings asking protesters to clear the road or they would be subject to arrest and crowd control munitions

The Secretary of Health and Human Services, who is giving pregnant women medical advice, does not understand the difference between a uterus and a placenta.

Also to stress the importance of fudamental curiosity driven science - his #devbio work served as the foundation for much of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine
John Gurdon https://t.co/QXMjHLKlS3, beacon of a generation that tackled head on the deepest question of biology: the development of an organism. The best tribute to him and his peers should be to remember and follow the path they forged for how to do Science in form and content.
