Been thinking a lot about lack of hope lately. I found @ayanaeliza.bsky.social quote to be helpful: “never list the problems without the possibilities… instead of focusing on how to be hopeful, I think we can just focus on how to be useful” www.ted.com/pages/3-ways... Keep fighting even without hope

Agreed, but let's save #science in general. These cuts are being made to science that advances medicine, agriculture, forestry, technology, safety in AI, and much more. In your messaging to congress please make it clear this is an across the board threat to ALL SCIENCE.

Whenever you make an estimate of how long you think something’s going to take, multiply by four and then you are in the ballpark. Good advice! Especially for that manuscript that you think is going to be a piece of cake....

Contacted senators Durbin and Duckworth and representative Casten today about issues I am concerned about. It’s not easy, but it’s an important way to have your voice heard, and it really does make a difference. #democracy

This statement on @colossal website is mostly not true. The species has not been restored, has not been returned to its ecosystem, is not revived. It remains to be seen even how close these 'canids' are to dire wolves. But importantly this is not species restoration. #direwolf
