Signal is also down due to Amazon AWS outage. So yeah, secure and private communication is also dependent on reliable infrastructure.

Why do we pay taxes?

Joshua Weitz @joshuasweitz.bsky.social · 5d

Today, Treasury Sec. Bessent floated a $40B Argentina bailout.

But, the White House's FY26 budget includes $18B in cuts to NIH, $5B cuts to each of NSF, NSF, EPA and CDC ($20B more) and $1.7B in cuts to NOAA, also a total of ~$40B.

Seems like the executive branch has a different set of priorities.

I understand that it's hard to find the right language to talk about what is escalating, what is shifting, and how that compares with what existed before, but we desperately need white people especially to actually do the hard work of finding the right language and not be lax about it

1) I was invited to a conference on preprints in 2016, which led me to take on other leadership roles in science: www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/...

Direct single-molecule detection and super-resolution imaging with a low-cost portable smartphone-based microscope - Nature Communications

Loretan and colleagues present a low-cost smartphone-based microscope capable of detecting single-molecule fluorescence. This approach opens doors to personalised and widely distributed applications in diagnostics, biosensing, and science education.

A: The students all talk about you. How do I get outta here?
B: The front door is unlocked.
A: No I mean, how do I start doing what you do?
B: Looks like you already have. That door will lock sooner than you think.
You can still leave.
You still have a choice.

Spread the word if you can.
We have an unused stopped flow accessory from Applied Photophysics. We traded in our Chirascan CD instrument so we have no use for this anymore. Reach out if you are interested and can find a home for this setup. Will ofcourse only work with a Chirascan!
