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.

FX’s renewal of "English Teacher" sends a dangerous message
FX's decision to look past allegations against Brian Jordan Alvarez signals a troubling disregard for survivors.

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
