Loved sharks since I was a child and love all animals, how could I not? Adopted a geriatric cat recently. Want to fight all animal abuse including Cat Torture that originated in China.

Trump and Musk/DOGE are absolutely, unequivocally damaging research - cancer research, Alzheimer's research, addiction research, drug development and testing.
“Trumpers defend HHS cuts.” Shocker, right? But this article shows what scientists 🧪 are up against. And gives a bit of hope.

The Trump/Musk people are highly savvy about info environment and media. They have to be, their regime is built on deception. They use the media. This story… 1/
Trump officials defend HHS cuts as more methodical than the slashing at other agencies
The administration’s Friday night message comes as a sharp departure from the approach that Trump and DOGE have taken to cuts in other federal departments and agencies.

Even if you don’t watch the show English Teacher, hope you'll read this. This is about more than 1 show, 1 guy.

FX just renewed a show from a man facing allegations of assault. I have a LOT of questions about the implications not just for FX but for the whole industry www.salon.com/2025/02/12/f...

Thirdly, it also contained 19 near-term embryos, still connected with their umbilicus -- GHH is viviparous. We took tissue samples for trace element and multiple paternity studies by colleagues. Female GHHs breed only once every 2 years, so from a conservation perspective, this kind of hurt. 5/11

First, we might try to determine why it died. The hook – a size 16/0 circle – was still in the jaw with a wire leader versus a mono, which would prevent bite-offs. This suggests that someone was actually targeting sharks. Circle hooks usually lodge in the jaw rather than deep in the gut. 2/11

Yesterday our lab PI got a call from Hollywood about a large great hammerhead (GHH) shark on the beach... and do we want it for the lab? Not the first time we've gotten calls like this! Here is a short thread about what fish biologists can do with even a dead animal. (Warning: graphic images) 1/11
