I have, for years, talked about how I spent the late aughts on 4chan, and I've been watching the worst people from there take over the world.

I don't think it's unfair to ask that bigger-name, tenured scientists speak out about this, rather than leaving it to early career researchers, grad students or outside writers/journalists.

The good news: Researchers have successfully shown that in mice, a preventative intervention for C. auris and other fungal infections works.
The bad news: It’s a vaccine, and this is the United States in the year 2026, with public health under the control of anti-vaxxer RFK Jr.

UGA vaccine protects against multiple fungal infections
Fungal infections are a top public health threat. UGA researchers have developed a vaccine that may both prevent and treat them.

this just in, researchers at CERN have succeeded in creating a mono-atomic violin capable of playing sad tones audible to human ears. Unfortunately, the science team admits that "...this is still not small enough for how little we give a shit about the woes of ICE agents."

ICE employees have reported delayed pay and missing health insurance on Reddit, while critics question how staff tolerate dangerous duties for little or no compensation.

It’s really really upsetting that a dude like this is one of the leading researchers shaping the understanding of the relationship between evolution and sex differences.
O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

Given this is based on a non-peer-reviewed paper by researchers at Anthropic, with their track record on research we can probably assume a) that the methodology is really bad, and b) if the results are accurate (if they even test the thing purported to be studied), they think this is good PR for AI

Watching this docu on how in 1980 Western researchers used ice cap data to discover an unknown supervolcano eruption in the 1200s, worked till 2012 to finally ID it as Lombok in Indonesia, went there & the locals were like "oh yeah heres the records we documented it in detail you shoulda just asked"

Good grief. Do people who don't go to uni not benefit from doctors, librarians, researchers, lawyers, architects, artists, writers, archivists, historians, designers, programmers, etc etc etc...? What is this weird unjoined up world she imagines?
Rachel Reeves: "It is not right that people who don't go to university bear the cost for others to." I don't use local leisure centres and I don't drive, so will I be made exempt for taxation that pays for all that stuff? Or is it only education we'll be going after

1/ This pause is obviously concerning to researchers & universities & I’d like to specifically register the point that if the reason of ‘aligning with national priorities’ means more policy-driven & less free ideas-driven research then this move is of even more concern.

Exactly this. Antifa is real. Not as in “some centralized organization”, but as in networks of actual activists and researchers who, among many other things, identify fascists and out them to their communities
There are a lot of "is the Antifa in the room with us right now" comments indicating that people don't fully understand the real activism done by real people. Antifa exists, but not in the way that the bogeyman narrative shapes it.
