Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole. In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.

Robert Kennedy Jr., one of the most anti-science figures in the world, will oversee a vast bureaucracy with a discretionary budget of nearly $150 billion annually and a mandatory budget of nearly $2 trillion. HHS and its various agencies have profound regulatory powers that

Whelp. Maybe a good time to mention that I am about to open a new PhD position in Sweden that just happens to be exactly four years in length. Any aspiring PhD candidates in neurodegenerative imaging or multiomics who want to "take a break" from the US, please get in touch!

@Will_Bunch A few years back the Werner Twertzog account wrote this famous post. It still works, but now it’s closer to 1/2, and there are no more spectators.

Pretty far down the list of impending doom concerns but I think us basic research biologists need to prepare for draconian NIH slashes and a new reality of 1-2 person labs. Hope I’m wrong.

Reposting this because it’s really clear that all we have for the immediate future and maybe the rest of our lives is solidarity with other Americans who haven’t lost their minds to hate and greed.

Whatever happens today I feel very lucky to live in West Philly, blanketed by both Harris Walz and Ceasefire Now signs. At least my neighbors have their heads screwed on straight!

Again, don’t listen to silliness like this. Kamala had a vision. Trump had vibes and racism. This isn’t about who had a better platform. This was a doubling down on America’s original premise — white supremacy.

I agree. But what’s also even more true is that most Americans aren’t using language like fascism or democracy. Trump ran on grievance and resentment and used. We simple and easy words to use that tapped into peoples’ fears. America is more far right than people want to accept.

Just keep thinking about how superior Harris’s ground game was and how it didn’t even matter at all.

In the coming days there's gonna be a lot of opining about what the Harris campaign did wrong, but this election was not an indictment of Kamala Harris. It was an indictment of America.

This is the reality. And when the sheep realize they signed on to be slaughtered, they too will join in slowly increasing numbers. But good Lord… as a species, we have learned nothing.

People are not voting against their interests if their interest is white supremacy.
