The Center for Scientific Integrity is proud to announce the inaugural winners of the 2026 Ctrl-Z Award. Named for the universal keyboard shortcut for “undo,” the Ctrl-Z Award this year honors @cetaceanneeded.bsky.social and @katelaskowski.bsky.social for choosing transparency over reputation.

How dare I as a taxpayer subsidize inexpensive food I will never take advantage of. Socialist nonsense. I want my taxes to go to things that directly benefit me like the Iran War or SpaceX subsidies or White House remodeling.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Here is some of that good news you've been looking for.

Study Finds Most Americans Can't Find Where They Are Being Deported On Map

You wouldn't know it from how some people talk, but it is incredibly easy to not use AI for anything.

Half a million comments was just the beginning folks. Flood your congresspeople's voicemails about this (and many other things too of course).

Animal Behavior Society@animbehsociety.bsky.social · 5d ago

The OMB grants rule isn’t final yet, but they want to enact it Oct 1! It would let political appointees override peer review & cancel research midstream. We made the comments, now we need to call Congress and let them know what effect this will have scientific research. io.aibs.org/omb-action

This is the key. Thinking up new ideas is never the bottleneck - it's all the institutional slow downs: Grants take years, purchasing approvals, sponsored projects office need so many docs & let's not forget how long it takes our animals to breed. AI doesn't solve the most important bottlenecks

Everyone says AI will accelerate science. I don't think it will -- at least not in biology, and at least not soon. New post where I explain why, and how the productivity paradox can be resolved: blekhman.substack.com/p/why-ai-wil...

Both students and PI's are getting penalized for this rule - either the student makes less money or suddenly grant budgets have to unexpectedly absorb more costs. Really not a great look by @ucdavis.bsky.social

Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra@jrossibarra.bsky.social · 2w ago

UC Davis will no longer pay the difference so that GRFP recipients earn the same as other students. So mid-PhD students will lose nearly 25% of salary & new students will make less than their peers. Apply for the GRFP, it’s a wonderful help to your career. Just don’t come here if you get one.

Facing federal science budget cuts, biologist Daniel Blumstein resorted to uploading marmot videos to OnlyFans to raise funds for his marmot research. However, when he uploaded his driver’s license for verification, OnlyFans informed him that his appearance didn’t match the marmots in the videos.

And that concludes #ISBE2026 in Torino! Always love seeing all my old and new friends and helping my team integrate into this community. But by far the best moments are seeing all my labbies absolutely freaking *crush* their presentations. What a team! And what a great week!

Interested in having a symposium at #Behaviour2027 ? We are officially open to proposals! Please carefully follow the guidelines below:

Remember when NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya said there were no banned words and NIH Program Officers were making them up? Here’s the proof he lied: apnews.com/article/cali... I know, Jay Bhattacharya lying is not news. But it’s still really validating to have the admission.
