Y’all can read about this absolutely distressing situation of me trying to buy a home + learning that the seller didn’t want to sell to me because I’m Black, in The New York Times. Thank you Debra Kamin for your hard work investigating this + educating people about the Fair Housing Act 1/

Thanks to Miranda Sinnott-Armstrong we know *how* blue structural color is produced in #Elaeocarpus but not *why*. Beautiful and integrative research! #IBC2024

first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me” she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us” when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen,

Really loving David Baum's metaphor of climbing "scientific mountains" and crossing "valleys of low credibility" when trying to explore new areas. Science as a landscape of knowledge with peaks we climb to see further... beautiful way to think about it! #Evol2024/#Evolution2024

A powerful reflection. I’m proud of this person for figuring out a way to stand up and reach out for help in the midst of all he was dealing with. We all need each other.

GigaScience, with respect for the authors, there are problems with the evolutionary framing & interpretation. Many excellent biological discoveries here but unfortunately they are obscured by faulty reasoning: living taxa aren’t “primitive” or “basal” or “higher” or “lower.” 1.

Incredible data showing the success of wildlife crossings after Colorado installed seven crossings over state highway 9 near Kremmling. Wildlife- vehicle crashes were basically eliminated and roadside carcasses almost completely disappeared. Remarkable.
