Why aren’t more people saying this? It’s murder.

Rep. Jim Himes: "Having the Defense Department kill alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is illegal...These folks are committing murder — murder defined as killing without a legal basis. I am mystified over why the rest of the chain of command is quite comfortable with it."

NOW: The judiciary committee is set to vote on whether to send Emil Bove's nomination to the full Senate.

Bove pressured me to sign a motion to dismiss NYC Mayor Adams' bribery case. I chose to resign.

I urge them to show the courage and character that Bova lacks. Vote NO.

100% — forcing translation before the fundamentals are worked out is putting the cart ahead of the horse and throwing money down the drain.

Maybe one reason the Drosophila and C. elegans communities are so good is they are focused on more fundamental than disease-focused questions. Speaking as a disease oriented developmental biologist, for the record.

As the Senate considers voting to approve Trump's devastating funding cuts to public broadcasting, listen to the words of LeVar Burton.

The Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

Contact your senators today and urge them to oppose these cuts.

Tapping the sign that says “NSF, NIH, and public investment into basic research are the real engines of US innovation”
adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com
Silicon Valley VCs sit atop a system where federal and state governments spent more on basic research of all kinds than most other countries in the world combined, and then take the ideas that come out of that and take it the last mile. An important function, but they disproportionately benefit.

We highlight a fact that at least a lot of economists I talked to didn't really understand well enough, which was that in 1965, 2% of the entire US economy was public science. One in every $50 was public science. That's now about half a percent of GDP.
