Am I happy Anthropic scraped my books without my permission to train their Ai? No I am not. Do I find it objectively funny that Anthropic trained its Ai on my novels laying out a plan on how Ai could wipe out humanity? A little, yeah.

Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey single-handedly blocked the "wonder drug" thalidomide (US, FDA, 1960) & saved American children from severe birth defects. The first woman to earn a PhD in pharmacology, she used her expertise & immense courage to defy intense industry pressure. #WomenInSTEM (1/2)

A classic black-and-white portrait photograph of Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey (1914–2015), the pioneering Canadian-American pharmacologist and FDA medical officer renowned for blocking thalidomide's approval in the United States. She is shown in a formal head-and-shoulders pose against a plain studio background, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and resolute expression. Her dark hair is neatly styled in soft waves, parted on the side, and she wears a simple dark blazer or jacket over a white collared blouse, embodying professionalism, quiet determination, and the courage that defined her career as a trailblazer in drug safety regulation and women's contributions to science and public health.

The spirits of the dead come to Odysseus when he visits Hades, being comrades from the war regaling him with regrets and fates after the Trojan War, but also family who died waiting for him, including Anticlea, his mother who died of grief waiting for him. #PhantomsFriday

Tiresias coming to Odysseus in the Underworld, with Anticlea behind him, spurned by her son because the prophet is his true objective here. Art famously by Henry Fuseli.

INBOX: the last dedicated science reporter at The Wall Street Journal, @aylinwoodward.bsky.social, has left the newsroom. This came after the Murdoch-owned newspaper dissolved its Health and Science Bureau last October. NPR, CBS, and WaPo also gutted their climate desks in the last eight months.

After nearly five incredible years, The Journal's last remaining dedicated science reporter (that's me!) has left WSJ. Following the dissolution of the miraculous Health & Science Bureau last October, myself and a small numbers of others worked hard to continue our former team's legacy, but the time has finally come for me to move on. I am deeply grateful for all of the opportunities this publication -- and the journalist community I met there -- has given me. From stories about T. rex lips to primate booze problems to shrinking brains, to Nobel Prize and NASA mission coverage, Jane Goodall's obituary, winter storm, volcano and wildfire smoke stories, I left no scientific stone unturned, working constantly to inspire curiosity and wonder in Journal readers during times of increasing turmoil and challenge. I met some of my closest friends, wrote for two of the most phenomenal editors I'll ever have the privilege of working with, saw Evan come home, and learned (in retrospect, naturally) the gift it is to be on a team of professional nerds who drive the cutting edge of health and science journalism in America while uplifting each other and their craft. Well, this is your counterprogramming kid signing off. Not sure where I'll end up next, but don't be strangers y'all. In the meantime, I'll be coaching roller derby across the U.S., South America and Europe!
