Flashback to 2020:
CA official: "If we ignore the science and put our head in the sand... we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians."
Trump: "It'll start getting cooler. You just watch."
"I wish science agreed with you."
Trump: "I don’t think science knows, actually."

The American Heart Association guidelines for HCM treatment have just been updated for 2024. Cynthia Burstein Waldman @Cynaburst does a great job of breaking down the changes for you in this article from her blog HCMbeat: facebook.com/share/2ueWxZmkK…

Can the media please stop saying that “people don’t want Biden?” He literally won New Hampshire by 30+ points yesterday & got more votes than any presidential candidate in history in 2020. We do want President Biden & to suggest otherwise is deeply insulting & a lie.

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:
Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability
Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

It’s time this loud and sometimes angry #womeninstemm threw in her 2 cents to the @NHMRC investigator grant gender equity discussion. First, it’s bloody brilliant the data has been analysed, modelled and some BIG options put forward. High five to everyone who helped do that /1

I know it’s all the trend atm, but 10/10 do not recommend getting covid. Mild my ass. Can safely say I can’t remember being this sick ever.
At least I get puppy snuggles 🐶

For everybody saying it's unacceptable to change the number of Supreme Court justices, Mitch McConnel did that for almost a year. When he refused to allow RBG's seat to be filled, he changed the number of justices on the Supreme Court from 9 to 8.
