Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. It's sobering on this day to reflect this week, the U.S. has (1) proposed a Federal registry of people with autism & (2) sent a questionnaire to Barnard employees asking if they are Jewish. nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n... cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

In her compelling op-ed published @Suntimes, @SocDevBio President Dr. Carole LaBonne warns that rapid innovation may not be suitable for science—where careful methodology, peer review, and sustained funding are key. If rushed, it risks breaking the very foundation of scientific progress. Read the full letter to understand why science needs stability. ⬇️⬇️

Important consideration for choosing a thesis or post-doc advisor. People matter.
When choosing a thesis advisor, it’s natural to envision your best days, but important to think about your worst days. Whose office do you want to walk into when your experiment failed, your manuscript is rejected, or you’re dealing with a family emergency? Choose that person.

Need some help: Papers/Papers2 was great. Papers3 was a big step down but tolerable. Papers4--well, I'm too polite to say it. PLEASE tell me there's something else out there that's as good as Papers used to be and will let me import my vast Papers library?
