On 2/14 Education Park Ranger Brian Gibbs lost his job with the NPS to unjustified federal cuts. Yesterday, he gave his heartfelt speech about the value of this work at Senator Bernie Sanders Fighting Oligarchy Event. This is why natural and historic preservation are so important to our society.

Spent the weekend with my partner in the dreamiest historic home in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The cherry on top was the house mother, a cat named Princess Leo. These are some pics of the house guest journal.

Reminder that a study on lizard saliva eventually led to the development of Ozempic so be real wary of the criticism of studies and funding that sounds non-sensical when presented with no context.

This is how a dictator acts.
Sending 30K migrants to Guantanamo—a place w/ repeated human rights violations—is an attempt to evade our legal system & act in the shadows hundreds of miles away.
REMINDER—the U.S. affords weaker due process/legal rights for people detained there.

No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA.
Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.
But here is what we do know. (1/7)

Unpopular opinion: you can’t call yourself an animal lover if you only like the cute fuzzy ones. Saying you love animals but hate bugs for example means you only love 5% of known animal species. It is estimated that 95% of living animals on Earth are invertebrates

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
