Not in the news is what all scientists are seeing on the ground - the administration is crushing the U.S. scientific enterprise (the world's best).
the constant lawsuits, on again/off again funding, threats to overhaul grant process, onerous and chaotic new rules coming out of too many agencies with too many conflicting rules, restrictions on talent...

Georgia Tech has the best return on investment for students at public universities in the country.
Ten years after receiving a degree, our students' median salary is $126,000 — 73% higher than the national average for other four-year institutions. 94% of Yellow Jackets graduate in six years or less. #WeCanDoThat 🐝

$6.3 billion. That's our economic impact on the state of Georgia for 2025 — breaking our own record. 💪🐝
Last year, we conferred 13,096 degrees and supported more than 37,000 jobs in our state. #WeCanDoThat | c.gatech.edu/4hzK9Xu

Stunning @FWC26Atlanta shot of Downtown last night. Atlanta is one of the world’s great cities—and the vibes are at highs unseen in quite some time.

Georgia Tech was recently recertified as a Level II Arboretum — a botanical collection of trees and plants.
Our campus has more than 130 different species and 15,000 trees — some over 100 years old! Happy #EarthDay26! 🌎🌳🐝 #WeCanDoThat | c.gatech.edu/4dXw5VU

Paper alert!
Cognitive ethology of nest building in a shell-dwelling cichlid
Swantje Grätsch et al. found that L. ocellatus builds nests through an innate behavioral sequence, which is orchestrated by a series of stimulus-response loops.

Posting a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…, a new approach to understand the evolution of cell types in the vertebrate forebrain. Identifies deep cellular ancestry of neurogenesis, social behaviors and human disease. will be useful for other organs/traits.

Monday's astronomical high tide was enough to overtop the walkway to the Wiggly Bridge and float some ice chunks over it. Fourth image is from Long Sands Beach with the Nubble Lighthouse peaking out on the right.

Happy to post this today: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…. We show that whole-tooth replacement is accelerated after plucking, and then observe time-sequenced gene expression and signaling profiles as teeth are constructed anew.
