A good time to recirculate @SamSeder’s Social Security explainer to a clueless Tim Pool.

Wrong, Elon. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 86 years. We can make it solvent for the next 75 years and expand benefits by scrapping the cap that allows billionaires like you to pay the same amount into Social Security as a truck driver.
BREAKING: Elon Musk called Social Security "the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time" in an interview with Joe Rogan.

Seems inefficient
BREAKING: The FAA is halting flights into Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and Orlando airports for "space launch debris" until at least 8 p.m. EST. The move follows the failed launch of SpaceX's Starship, which lifted off from Starbase in South Texas about 45 minutes ago.

🚨 Exciting news! Our lab's latest work is now in preprint!🚨 We demonstrate that maternal undernutrition increases early life mortality and exacerbates offspring growth deficits in a microbiota-dependent manner. doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.06.6… #Microbiome #Undernutrition #stunting

I don’t want to hear any Republicans talk about “freedom” unless they have the guts to call out Trump for the lies that he is telling about Putin and Ukraine. It was Russia that started the war, not Ukraine. Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky.

A postdoc position is available in our lab to work on the impact of herpes simplex virus infection on the nervous system. Great opportunity to gain expertise in different neuronal models of infection and an animal model of HSV neurogenerative disease.

One of my graduate students dropped by my office, exasperated, and said, "I don't know how to innovate. So, how can I do a PhD?". I erased my whiteboard and began listing strategies for generating new research ideas. They left reassured and excited! As #professors, we mentor and make knowledge accessible to empower our students. I hope this is helpful to others! #academicchatter #Phdlife #Highered
