#microCT scan of the left palpal bulb (male copulatory organ) of a grass spider I found wandering Beckman's hallways last week! 😍(He was on his last legs when he was preserved for the scan). Taken in the Microscopy Suite of @beckmanillinois.bsky.social and rendered in the Visualization Lab.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland over the governor's objections.

This decision reinforces one of our country's core principles: The military has no place policing our communities.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent.

China expands Argentina soybean buying to 20 cargoes, traders say
Chinese importers kept up a hectic pace of Argentine soybean purchases after the South American supplier's move to abolish export taxes temporarily made its prices competitive, traders said on Wednesday.

“.. The U.S. soybean harvest began in September without any orders from the world’s largest buyer: China ..

“.. In a typical year, China buys more than half of all U.S. soybean exports.”

Just came across this collection of essays from earlier this year making "The Scientific Case for DEI"

"In light of attacks on DEI, we gathered articles that lay out the evidence in favor of fostering racially diverse and equitable schools, workplaces, cities, and societies."

Is #icanhazpdf a thing here? I'm looking for "La base de données GICIM: Gestion informatisée des collections ichthyologiques du Muséum". FishBase cites the book's 3-page appendix II for size data, but there's no data at all in there. I suspect they're throughout the whole book...?

Just another reminder that Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625% which is FAR lower than private sector retirement programs.

Since being released on bail, Mahmoud Khalil has been enjoying everyday activities like cooking homemade meals and spending time with family.

No matter how hard the Trump administration tries to punish him for his speech, we'll always fight to keep Mahmoud together with his family.

Trump and Republicans would rather shut down the government than work with Democrats to lower costs and protect health care for working families and cancer patients.

More chaos and more pain for the American people.

Trump Always Chickens Out.

Donald Trump just cancelled a high stakes meeting in the Oval Office with myself and Leader Schumer.

The extremists want to shut down the government because they are unwilling to address the Republican healthcare crisis that is devastating America.

Hold the line.
