I'm unable to attend #ASHG26 this year, but to my colleagues who'll be in Montreal: Please help me out by keeping an eye open for places that are hiring I have a PhD in Genomics (specifically human population genetics) and a decade of science communication experience at precision health companies
"world-leading scientists are being fired from the NIH so that the Trump administration can continue to promote disinformation & impose its anti-scientific ideas such as the totally discredited notion that vaccines cause autism" www.caprisa.org/News/Read/20... Science IS under attack from MAGA/MAHA
Prof Gavin Yamey MD MPH@gavinyamey.bsky.social · 3d agoOne of the funniest things I’ve ever seen: Bhattacharya will chat with RFK Jr’s kooky science adviser, Martin Kulldorff, the dude who got $ from suing HPV vaccine makers, about how “science is under attack”🤣 Jay, RFK & Martin killed, banned or censored science that they hate—they are the attackers!

Dr. Jey McCreight 🏳️⚧️🧬@jeymccreight.bsky.social · 2mo agoSad to say I have to demote @beyondxandy.bsky.social to a fun side social media thing I do After being hurt, I need to focus on restoring financial stability There just isn't a path forward financially for me to make it a non-profit any time soon. Maybe if future elections go a certain way...
This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead
We're publishing new guidance to support trans people who do fieldwork (any work outside the office)! Now we need your help to get them seen so please share! inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans/

I'm so incredibly grateful for every friend and stranger who donated to my GoFundMe It enabled me to keep paying the bills while I was recovering. Community really came through I have some gig work starting up, so I think I'm finally out of weeds and back to self sufficiency 🤞

I've been watching TOS for the first time (don't judge me) Are there any episodes where Kirk doesn't punch someone or fall in love with an alien? Feels very wild west loose with the rules

It would be amazing if cis people could attempt to grasp how it feels for trans people to hear that large groups of Americans are being tested to see if one of us is hidden among them - because they'll be testing for your personal minority next.

The real American 🇺🇸 “brain drain” isn’t that a few established scholars might get new jobs outside the US, it’s the enormous number of grad students - particularly international grad students - who can’t or won’t study in the US now or in years to come. That’s the body blow.
Visited the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago today Alternated between feeling a glimmer of hope for the future, and feeling like I was attending a funeral for American democracy It was a stark reminder of how normal things once felt. A note of grief hung in the air
I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
