Watson was deeply influential to me as a genomicist, but not how you may assume
From stealing Rosalind Franklin's lab notes to his frequent sexist & racist bioessentialist comments later in life, he showed how the scientific community would still worship a terrible person

Hey, if you're planning on dressing up as an ICE agent for Halloween because scaring vulnerable people is funny to you, there is still time for you to change your mind about the worst fucking idea you've ever had.

This feels like it went under the radar a bit re public alarm - why are *ICE* stockpiling guided missiles? An agency that only operates domestically?
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
