Avocados come in 2 varieties - A-types start each day female and switch to male midday. B-types do the reverse. In work just published from the last chapter of my PhD, we show this system evolved 40+million yrs ago and is regulated by alleles of 1 transcription factor www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

Our new book "Self-Doubt" is written by scientists for scientists. You might think you are alone when you doubt your ability or suitability for science - you aren't. We all question ourselves and carry doubt with us daily. www.amazon.co.uk/Self-Doubt-A...

1/ First measles, then screwworm, and now cyclospora - a food-borne illness generated by intestinal parasites. These explosive outbreaks aren't random. They’re the predictable consequence of ignoring the science at the expense of public health.

Elon Musk's xAI has installed more than double the number of gas turbines than it has publicly acknowledged to power its Colossus 2 data center project, without federal permits, and the pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest reut.rs/4bIghEm

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 1 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/eoQwY

> "Left" and "right" have had the same meaning since the French Revolution. If you want to know if someone is on the left or the right, ask them, "What is more important: human rights or property rights?" If they say "Property rights are a human right," then they are on the right. 18/

Russell Vought’s OMB Grant Proposal takes the formerly expert informed, democratic grant award process and turns it into an authoritative process based on political ideology. It will destroy science in America as we know it. Take action here: zurl.co/ydchb Article: zurl.co/Juc68

Trump administration pursues more durable changes to science policy after setbacks in court

After legal challenges succeeded, Trump administration shifts from dismantling agencies to centralizing OMB control over research funding.

zurl.co

🧪 New from @dataforprogress.org: Federal research grants are awarded on scientific merit judged by panels of scientists and outside experts. Trump has moved to change that. Voters don't approve. www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2026/7/...

NYC, this is a reminder that our Olympic — and intermediate — sized outdoor pools will stay open until 8:30 PM. That's a 1/2 hour longer than prior heat wave extensions and 1.5 hours longer than normal operating days. Stay cool. Stay informed. Together, we will get through this historic heat wave.

I've gone ahead and posted my comment on the OMB rule as an example of a hyper-focused comment that looks at one portion of the OMB rule. Here, I've tackled a part of the Rule I know a lot about (international research and national security) and cross-walked with a project I've worked on a lot.

What a Focused OMB Rule Comment Could Look Like — Stand Up for Science Foundation

Cole Donovan, Director of Policy at the SUFS Foundation, breaks down how OMB’s grant rule will undermine U.S. research, weaken international collaboration, and threaten American scientific leadership.

OK, who else has had a crazy increase in unsolicited applications from well qualified people that mention “loss of funding of the current lab” as a reasons they are looking for a job? @standupforscience.net

Hey! Do you like libraries? My family loves the library. Did you know library funding will be impacted by the new OMB rule proposal? Ok so go leave your public comment and tell Vought and Trump to get their greedy hands off our libraries! fight2win.standupforscience.net

Upon reflection The Pool doesn’t Upon reflection The Supreme Court won’t Upon reflection the Department of Health and Human Services hasn’t Upon reflection The United States isn’t

Thanks @codendall.bsky.social for hosting me at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social yesterday! I really enjoyed hearing about all the great science at the department. Also, I'm super impressed with how London has changed since I was here last. So much fewer cars and so many bikers!!! 🤩

I just spent three days on the hill being told that even Republican members in Congress with sick children would not stand up for the science that would save their children’s lives and yours. So no, these people are not your friend. They are not even a friend of their own blood.

Just announced: OpenAI plans to lease a 9.2 gigawatt 100% fossil-fuelled data centre on Ohio. Its emissions will be between 20 - 37 MTCO2-e - somewhere between the total grid emissions of France -> Netherlands As much GHGs as 9.5 average coal plants. Will raise US total emissions by 0.5%

Thank you @felixrandow.bsky.social for inviting me to Cambridge to met the amazing scientists of MRC LMB. And special thanks for giving me a history tour! The library was my favorite!! What a wonderful place full of amazing science.

The action taken by Steven Kahn, MBChB, Aaron Kelly, PhD, Desmond Schatz, MD, Justin Ryder, PhD, & Irl Hirsch, MD at the #ADA Annual Meeting, was EXACTLY PERFECT. They used their position to do something reasonable & got an outsized reaction. NOW EVERYONE WALK OUT OF THE MEETING.

1/If you read NPR’s article, the reporter failed to call anyone who is an expert on administrative law—I don’t know, someone who wrote a whole article on this exact topic, called Infrostructure, which is pinned to this page—and I would note be happy to note the rule’s many, many failings.

Striking to me how little reporting there is on this rule proposal, which is maybe the biggest change to American governance in almost a century. And this reporting is … weak. www.npr.org/2026/06/03/n...

4/I said this before, and I will say it again, Russ Vought relies on everyone complying to his weasel demands because administrative law is wonky, but this is a wild overreach.
