Billions of years ago these stars were shed from their parent galaxies and now drift through intergalactic space: go.nasa.gov/3XmFNpp

When I started my lab a few years ago I started building up an in-house library for students. Two of the first books I bought are The Logic of Chance (Eugene Koonin) and The Origins of Genome Architecture (Michael Lynch). Both are remarkable books that discuss genomics in the context of microbial diversity and the tree of life.
What other genomics/evolution classics do people always keep around?

Populism coupled with increasing assaults on scientific integrity have dramatically shifted the political landscape & contributed to geopolitical instability.
The policy ramifications are yet to be understood, but anti-intellectualism has threatened public health, stymied environmental progress, influenced funding priorities & sculpted the rhetoric of local, state & national politics.

We’ve heard that Republicans cheated in polls in 2022 to create a “red wave” narrative and deceive Dems.
That’s true, and there’s even a deeper issue. When we focus on polls too much, even correct polls, it leads to passiveness.
That’s a lamppost problem—
polls can’t measure some important things. For example, polls don’t measure persuasion, which happens over months or longer.

Alan Turing was a mathematician & cryptographer who was a leading code-breaker in the team that decrypted Nazi Germany’s Enigma machine during WWII. He inspired modern computing & what became AI.
Instead of being hailed as a genius & hero, Turing was convicted as a homosexual & forced to endure chemical castration. He died by suicide at 41 in 1954.
The British government didn’t apologize until 2009 & Queen Elizabeth II finally pardoned him in 2013. #history #science #HistoryRemix
