🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees

So many signs of the worst of eras and I then I saw a reel of someone’s gender reveal party with a live ultrasound projected on a movie screen. Not sure why people want to show their fetus’s genitals off to a crowd. 😳

From the Chronice of Higher Ed's daily newsletter email. The first ICE arrest on a college campus happened at Spokane Community College yesterday. The Chronicle, however, is here to tell us that in "the bigger picture," it's no big deal, even if "the loudest voices" say it is.

Yesterday, this contortionist figured out how to pick at her surgical sutures. We put her in a surgical suit which she mysteriously shed overnight, so this morning it’s a double cone, which seems to be running enough interference to keep her from picking at her scars.

Important thread. Long read about how Elsevier, which publishes a large number of important scientific journals, has driven the entire editorial board of the Journal of Human Evolution to resign in protest/disgust. Prioritizing profits. Elsevier doesn't understand the value of its own products.
reposting with #alttext -- the Note Two folks are talking about is on page 2, not the #2 in the second paragraph, so a couple skeets down from this
