CDC cuts imposed by current US administration undermines security & would have global negative consequences. CDC is very important because it is only the matter of time when the new pathogen/disease emerge. Without such a center much more people will suffer and die. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

This just shows that all he has is just immensely owerblown and extremely fragile ego [perhaps, the largest and most fragile in history, as one likes to say].

This is the first time I see a politician openly complaining about not receiving a Nobel Prize just because he thought (and likely still think) that he deserves it more than all the others...

Auf den Tag genau vor 3 Jahren, am 10.10.2022, begann Russland mit systematischen Angriffen auf ukrainische Energieinfrastruktur.

Diese Angriffe führt es fort, wie eine Tradition. Jahr um Jahr, wenn der Winter kommt. Auch letzte Nacht.

Was ist das, wenn nicht Genozid?

„Russland ist schlimmer als die Hamas“, schreibt der ukrainische Außenminister. „Selbst die Hamas hat einem Waffenstillstand und Friedensbemühungen zugestimmt.“

Diese Zuspitzung ist vor allem ein verzweifelter Versuch, die Aufmerksamkeit der Weltöffentlichkeit zurückzugewinnen.

Loneliness is usually considered as something bad.

But what is worse - being lonely or in a toxic/abusive relationship without possibility to terminate or escape of it?

If russia manages to damage ZNPP to the stage of nuclear disaster, it will have global consequences. This not only about pollution but that fact that all international organizations uncluding IAEA were unable to prevent it.

It is incredibly sad to observe systematic destruction of American science. This is going to have a global impact and likely a new race for a global leadership in science. Europe has certain chances, but if it wastes them, the lead could be taken by different actors.

NCBI put a notice on partial halt of its operations because of a lapse of governmental funding.

If you have any data (sequences, raw reads, genome assemblies, etc.) to submit, it is now better to do it in ENA [if allowed].

At the first day of the Nobel Week Ukrposhta issued a special stamp series called "Freedom in the equation" commemorating Ukrainian scientists killed by russia.

It starts with the following question/answer:
"Why there is still no scientists-Nobel laureates in Ukraine? - They were killed by russia."

One should never take children for such a "sightseeing".

What should be done instead:
- leave the place as fast as possible
- help others to leave the place if needed & possible
- follow instuctions provided by rescue workers and authorities

This picture shows what must be avioded for many reasons.
- russia uses double/multiple strikes routinely, so if you're on/near the spot targeted by ru UAV/missile do not spend your time on taking pictures
- the condition of targeted object is unknown
- you may disturb rescue operation

According to MFA minister Andrii Sybiha, russia used one of its most barbaric practices in its attack on Shostka - double strike. They [russians] hit the train, waited until resuce operation and evacuation begins and then hit the same area again to target rescue workers and evacuees.

💬 росія атакувала залізничний вокзал у Шосткинській громаді, — Сумська ОВА.

Ворог прицільно вдарив по цивільній інфраструктурі – у пасажирський потяг сполученням Шостка-Київ.

Постраждали пасажири.
