Royce White is now ranting about "transgender sex dolls" during a forum that is supposed to be about agricultural issues. This guy is a serious Republican in Minnesota who had the party's nomination for a Senate seat two years ago. Insanity.

What an asshole.

I know I'm not alone (even as a scientist) in my imposter syndrome but it was great today to check my h-index (I know, don't @ me) and see it finally hit a new milestone. I never set out to publish a lot or expect anyone to read it, I just wanted to learn about how all this <waves hands> works! 🦟🧪

Ron Johnson: "Aaron Rodgers was smart enough to take ivermectin when he got covid ... unfortunately, more people didn't follow him. We wouldn't have had as many of athletes falling unconscious, sometimes dead on the field of play. You've seen the video reels of this happening in 2021."

I'm heartened to see a lot of push back on AI. A noteable example I saw recently was a youtube creator who talks about freshwater aquariums used AI to create a recent video and there were dozens and dozens of comments telling them not to do that, and it ironically uses up freshwater resources.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.

Is there life on Europa, or Enceladus, or both? 🪐🦠🧪

What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story

Was gifted this by a colleague. Some people just get me. 🦟 📖

This is my justification for not getting those older pubs out.

A patient mind is not a slow mind. It is a mind that refuses to publish before the evidence has finished speaking.

Dear senior scientists and tenured/full professors of this network, hello! I'm looking for researchers with a long way down the road who have a story (or stories) of mistakes or errors made (especially if these involve funny stories, so bloopers are more than welcome!). >>

I just ordered some tropical fish for an online supplier. I'm getting some fairly rare species and I thought I'd take a gamble (first time trying it). Wish me luck. When they arrive I'll try and post images! 🐟📦 *No mosquitoes will be involved.

Was at the grocery store yesterday and there was an older Hispanic looking dude walking around in a shirt with "Mass Deportations 2024" emblazoned upon it. Mental illness is a helluva thing.

My account will always be about mosquitoes but I also will always stan for Sinead.
