Losing access to our natural history museum? Now *that* is scary. We’re keeping pressure up at city council on Monday, on the street on Tuesday, and on our stoops all week long. Carve a #SaveTheAcademy pumpkin and post them, tagging @drexeluniv and @acadnatsci. Stencils on save-the-academy.org!
"Is someone commissioning a facilities study to determine the extent and cost of deferred maintenance to the Parkway building and how urgent those needs are? Has a study been commissioned to gauge the fundraising appetite locally, nationally and internationally?" www.inquirer.com/newsletters/...
Is an Academy of Natural Sciences divorce coming? | Mike Newall
Hearings for the museum are coming Monday. Will it make a difference?

Drexel, where are you? We filled the room and the balconies for the Philadelphia City Council meeting to discuss the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences. #SaveTheAcademy
On Tues Oct 27th, Philly will have gone a full month without access to the Academy of Natural Sciences. Join us at academy at 6pm for a candlelight vigil. We’re keeping the light of hope alive. Wear black if you have it. We’re the dark times, but this fight isn’t over.
Want to help our neighbors grow native plants in Philadelphia? Help us pack up native plant seed packets that we'll distribute for free across the city! All you need to bring is you 😎 These events are a lovely place to meet new people while helping our world <3 RSVP here: lu.ma/dgs
Hey you. Do you live in Philly & enjoy taking walks? Join the #SaveTheAcademy street team We need people to hang posters in business windows, home windows, street poles, and anywhere else. We want reopening the museum to feel inevitable. Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Great piece on GenAI in education by a current student. I continue to believe there are many students who feel this way even if they don’t articulate that position as clearly as Naishu does.
Sonja Drimmer@sonjadrimmer.bsky.social · 5d agoThis piece by student journalist Naishu Vempali made me pump my fist in solidarity. I hope when I’m back teaching at UMass next year they take a class with me, where they can expect nothing but top quality human-grade feedback, interaction, and attention. dailycollegian.com/2026/10/chat...
Do you know any excellent young microbiologists who'd like to do a PhD on biofilms, microbial community assembly and antimicrobial resistance/tolerance? I'm advertising two projects to start in autumn 2027 warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fa... #MicroSky

Conferences are always more fun when you have a friend. And boy, are we happy to take a quick break from our piles of manuscripts and connect with the scientific community.
I'll be at the 4th Frontiers in Electron Microscopy for Physical and Life Sciences conference for @bmcbiol.springernature.com tomorrow if anyone wants to say hi and/or tell me about their science.

RNAmotifs 2.0: a framework for inferring multivalent RNA motifs and their candidate regulators of splicing - BMC Biology
Background Alternative splicing expands proteomic diversity and is shaped by RNA‑binding proteins (RBPs) that bind to multivalent RNA motifs. Yet connecting cis-acting motifs to their candidate trans-...

I posted this last week without comment, but I'm going to comment now. The people who established the system of museums in the West had a very specific reason for doing so: they thought that having an appreciation for the wonders of the world was absolutely necessary for being a good citizen.
