🚨 MANUSCRIPT ALERT 🚨 The VGP Phase I manuscript pre-print is now live on bioRxiv! 🧬 doi.org/10.64898/202... Over 8 years, the VGP generated reference genomes for more than 800 vertebrate species, spanning ~95% of vertebrate orders and delivering some of the highest-quality genomes ever produced.

“Eddy received a letter from the [NIH], informing him that his work "had been determined to be of absolutely no value to the US taxpayer, and therefore it was being specifically terminated," he recalls. Eddy says he has given up on any dream that his funding would be restored”

I keep thinking I’m done being shocked. It is abundantly clear there is a vendetta against anything that gives joy or laughter and helps people. I cannot believe the brilliant researchers who have been targeted and criminalized. Easy to demolish, hard to rebuild. www.npr.org/2026/05/21/n...

We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.

Da er tallene ute. 1300 skadde på elsparkesykkel i Oslo i fjor. En skade koster samfunnet fra 20.000 (legevakt) til 147.000 (sykehus døgn) så fjoråret kostet skattebetalerne minimum 97,5 millioner.

Er det forsvarlig med elsparkesykler med små, glatte gummidekk på is og snø? Helt irrelevant. Her er det fortsatt penger å tjene som så sendes ut av landet for å unngå skatt. De skadde tar jo det offentlige helsevesenet seg av. Det som er betalt av andre menneskers skatt. Leve fritt marked!
