This is first rate accountability reporting about one of the world’s most revered museums looking the other way in its hiring process. It’s really unbelievable

Interesting development. Eric Lander out at OSTP going to be replaced, for the moment, by a combo of ex-NIH boss Francis Collins and OSTP deputy Alondra Nelson, who got there from Inst for Advanced Study. Everyone in this crowd, all three, are principally about DNA/genetics.

Great idea: The Science Museum (UK) used its digitized collection, API, and log of web pages with zero views to create “Never Been Seen”—a site that makes you the very first person to see an object. Nice model for serendipity. (via @sebchan’s newsletter) thesciencemuseum.github.io/n…

Just subscribed to @DefectorMedia. Best thing that's happened all week.
This is the moment Minneapolis Police fired on our CBS News crew with rubber bullets. As you can see, no protesters anywhere near us- we all were wearing credentials and had cameras out. Our sound engineer was hit in the arm. #cbsnews

So here’s what happened today. The NYPD arrested me at 96th Street and West Side Highway while I was taking photos and video to post to Twitter. I told the police I was with the Press, they walked by me and then turned around and arrested me.

Note when @nytimes uses the passive voice and when it uses the active voice.
Minneapolis: A photographer was shot in the eye. Washington, D.C.: Protesters struck a journalist with his own microphone. Louisville: A reporter was hit by a pepper ball on live television by an officer who appeared to be aiming at her. nyti.ms/2ZYDFtv

Me and @katzish have come to the part of the pandemic relationship with a romantic night of more antibodies testing. Considering an update on my @nytopinion column: nytimes.com/2020/04/15/opini…
