Cambridge folks - Darwin’s workers are trying to form a co-op coffee shop in one of the Darwin’s spaces that are shutting down! They need funding, you can support them here: gofundme.com/f/start-a-worke…

Recently I wrote a post suggesting that peer review doesn't work, and then some weird things happened. A tenured professor threatened to get me fired. Strangers sent me unhinged emails. (People said nice things too.) This week I sort through it all. experimentalhistory.substack…

One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will.

I'm so excited to see where this will take us! As part of the Concerto team, I'm leading the discovery of a new product to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis (yeast infections)! Best of all, YOU can be a part of it* (*if you're a biologically female, non-pregnant adult) πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
🎺A fanfare for Concerto’s Series A! It heralds our reunion with microbes. It calls us to explore, compose, collaborate. It reverberates toward a future where microbes aren’t problems but solutions. Cheers to the era of microbial ecology-inspired products. businesswire.com/news/home/2…

How great would it be if all 33 of these Black postdocs went on to achieve their career goals? Last night we discussed our plan for making that happen. Please support the @natblackpostdoc by RT'ing so our group can increase our visibility, grow, and further increase our impact.

I can’t put in to words how frustrated I was when reading about what happened at the @UAW convention today. I am even more hopeful to hear that Brandon is running to change that. As @hgsuuaw’s financial Secretary during his presidency, I say with 0 reservations- ELECT HIM
If we are going to transform the UAW, we'll need a strong rank-and-file movement with leadership up for the task. With Brandon Mancilla as Director of Region 9A, we will build militant democratic unions that empower workers and achieve social justice. brandonfor9a.org/
