for raising awareness about genomic integrity, open science and avoidable risks to health
From Christopher Armitage’s latest- We cannot wait until the next election to address the “secret police abducting and murdering people without anyone stopping them” problem.

We do not get to operate in this environment for years and remain a democracy.

maybe I can use all this to help get our community lab's water quality work funded - not only of the lake but of the rivers that flow into it (usually used as our positive control as it's always 'dirty')?
This was the entire focus of my PhD. How tech is forcing field biologists indoors to coddle and placate machines, instead of tech people working with field biologists to make tools that keep our brains outside.
New technologies are revolutionising ecology, with more data than ever available at our fingertips. But what are the costs and perils of ecologists doing less field work?

Members of a Trouble Nation group (the action arm of RW&B) Resisters for Democracy-Europe (while not all American either) are really feeling the pain after all this, a clearly sign-posted distraction & also a ruthless mobster strategy!
it all simply just sucks, actually.
Resist! wherever you may be
America is a rogue and malevolent state and global bad actor

The current regime can be curbed, even by the ‘shadow docket’ of scotus! In a victory to note, this new year, they have withdrawn (and “de-federalized”) National Guard troops in California, Oregon, and Illinois. 🙌
Continue to resist!

Please remember public health as the current EPA & FDA & of course Kennedy continue to undermine it!! Increasing formaldehyde limits, allowing more pesticides, & making vaccinations less easy to do are just a few examples! 🥺
