Maybe I'm less chronically online than I used to be! That's the most favorable hypothesis here :D

How am I just now hearing about these??? They don’t even mention them in the textbooks because nobody knows what they do??

US citizens or permanent residents from an under-represented group! You can contact any NIH-funded researcher you admire & suggest applying for this supplement to join their lab! High school thru postdoc/faculty. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

PA-23-189: Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (Admin Supp Clinical Trial Not Allowed)grants.nih.gov NIH Funding Opportunities and Notices in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts: Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (Admin Supp Clinical Trial Not Allowed) PA-23-189....

(women count as under-represented, in some fields). Eligible groups listed here: www.nigms.nih.gov/Research/mec...

National Institute of General Medical Scienceswww.nigms.nih.gov NIGMS supports basic research to understand biological processes and lay the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Postdoctoral & predoctoral candidates seeking to transition out of "unsafe research environments" are also eligible to apply for a re-integration supplement "to allow them to transition to a new, safe, & supportive research environment to complete their training." (h/t Pearl Freier)

That last bit I think relates to this separate program for ppl who took 1-8y off science for family during their postdoc or faculty position. www.nigms.nih.gov/Research/Mec...

making positive change in this excruciating world pretty much always involves lots of shitty compromises, the kind that keep people up at night forever. this is perhaps the #1 thing I’ve learned from history. it’s our job to get the fuck over this reality and keep fighting for better things.

Musk is a monster. All the people who work on this system are monsters. The regulators who have just let it slide are monsters.

A Tesla in full-self driving mode hit my twin today. The driver was not aware, did not have his hands on the wheel, and did not brake. He hit this mother of 2 going 30 mph before blaming it on FSD getting confused by a train and driving off, as if that explained everything. So now, it's personal.

While I appreciate this may be *a* reason I think the reason people hate tech right now is that basically every major platform has fallen into ruin in lockstep with the highest corporate profits in history, and when asked, companies like Meta say "yeah it'll get shittier too"

One of the conclusions I am coming to is that we are too precious about the federal judiciary. You don’t get to be a coequal branch of government, if you don’t have an enforceable ethics code.

Well, that's handy; they're basically telling everyone to call them NatCs.

How Airbnb fails to protect guests from hidden cameras | CNN Businesswww.cnn.com A CNN investigation finds Airbnb fails to protect its guests against the persistent threat within its industry.

Oh my goodness. “when a guest complains of a hidden camera, the company doesn’t – as a matter of practice – notify law enforcement” And 35,000 surveillance complaints!!

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders. AI is booming (if you're a pleb) but if you have money - Goldman Sachs will be honest with you instead web.archive.org/web/20240629...

Just to be really explicit about what’s happening here, the cover conflates age, physical disability, and cognitive disability, and goes on to conflate disability with unfitness for office. It’s utter bullshit.

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

We used to live around the block from Elizabeth Warren, and I personally witnessed her giving out full-size candy bars on Halloween, I’m just saying

My wife and I ran into her and her husband when our daughter was a newborn, and she was really touched when my wife told her how she was glad to have a role model for our daughter representing us. My wife came away from the interaction an even bigger fan.

Oh wow, I should have anticipated where this thread was going but I didn't 🧪

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Surely I am not the only one who remembers the time when “thought leaders” declared that massive online courses were our inevitable future.

No matter who says that these tools aren’t intended to replace teachers or how many times it’s said, that’s exactly what will happen. (Or it will be used as a justification for eliminating teacher jobs because now teachers can “grade” more efficiently) www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-t...

the four year old, mad at my wife: “you broke my heart into pieces and they rolled all the way to Legoland and we have to go to Legoland to put them back together” absolutely incredible work, kiddo, I am in awe

I'm definitely heading in the right direction as I age 😀

I’m not sure I have enough pet peeves to ever reach that level!
