Shells with butter from my stepmother's father (an Italian chef). He used some sort of delicious buttery magic that for me, as a child with a sensitive palate, adored. I have been unable to recreate since my high school graduation party (the last time he made it for me).

What’s a meal that haunts you because you can never have it again? Mine is mango rundown tofu, from Jamerica in Madison. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to recreate it form other recipes and nothing has ever come close. And if you search for it, you find tons of posts from other people who also miss it.

A few weeks ago a @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social reporter came to PNNL to talk to us about #AI and how we approach it. I'm relieved none of my quotes made it it, but it was great to see the coverage: www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-m... 1/2

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits

The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

People in the ultraconservative corner of the internet are pushing to repeal 19th amendment, the legislation that made women equal citizens and allowed them to vote, in favor of “household voting” — where one family is represented only by a husband’s vote.

So well said: every scientific finding is built upon the science of others - you start breaking the American scientific engine and everyone will suffer: scientists, industry, doctors, voters, etc. It is all linked together.

For those wondering and reaching out: thank you, truly. We are amongst the lucky ones, we are ok - for now. But the reality is that no one is an island. Research is stellar because it is an ecosystem, a fragile one at that, as we are learning. So we won't be fine, if no one else is. We all lose

More than 90 scientists at the National Institutes of Health signed a letter in protest of Trump administration policies they say are harming people’s health, in a rare sign of open resistance by career government employees.

NIH scientists have been angry for months. Now some are rebelling.

I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.

I realize that as a retired professor I have a responsibility to say more on this than I have. International students are essential to the fiscal bottom line of almost every university. This is an unambiguous attempt to destroy Harvard—permanently. And he won’t stop with Harvard. This is madness.
