If you voted for Allison Riggs in the 2024 NC election check here to see if your ballot is being challenged. If so, then you have 15 business days from whenever they mail the notices to cure your ballot, but best to check now & cure yours as soon as possible, even if this ruling might get overturned

I always hated the "this is the greatest country in the world" refrain, but it is striking to me that the things they are killing in government — an unrivaled scientific research enterprise, incredible public lands, etc — are some of the only things that made such a statement vaguely defensible.

Publish your negative data. And journals and reviewers should be open to publishing high quality negative data!

#AI seemed to arrive fast and furious, but is it really new? #HTRS2025 Plenary “AI in Science and Medicine” next. Hype or hope? How will it shape the future of hemostasis and thrombosis?
