After 4 days in ICE custody, they found the man in a shower stall hog-tied, with a sheet around his neck.
The medical examiner claimed there were other instances of this.
Which means this is not an isolated case.

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑
Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.
We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Does anyone know what's happening with NSF oceanography related panels? I think the physical oceanography one is usually early November; presumably it's been cancelled or delayed due to the shutdown. Is there any vague schedule now that they're open again? 🌊

Prohibited activities include advising Chinese graduate students. For reference, a recent Georgetown report estimated 16% of STEM graduate students in the US are Chinese nationals.
This would take out entire fields at the knees, which is perhaps the point.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”
