Why do we have sex and sexes? Why do male humans pee standing up? Why do women menstruate? Why are there straight people and queer people? Why does patriarchy exist? You will find some provisional answers in my book, out this November. Please enjoy. cup.columbia.edu/book/the-other…

As the last 20 days have unfolded, it is clear @elonmusk is a sworn enemy of our constitutional democracy. He is an immigrant we welcomed, and his tech henchmen were mostly educated in the very institutions he is now trying to wreck. From where does such malice come? In any case, as every tweet gives him a tiny bit of ad revenue, this will be my last. See you on bluesky?

@mbeisen I don’t see how even a fully nonprofit publishing system can ever be free. Editors and their assistants need to eat.

Scientists and universities: defend indirects as a concept but not current indirect rates. Don't think there's waste in those numbers? We (US science) spend $4.5 billion on journals. That is HALF of the proposed cuts in indirects, and eliminating that spending would make science better!

Happy to see this job posting @UMDscience. Those currently foaming at the mouth about the evils of DEI should consider that its literal opposite is HUE (homogenous unfair exclusion). Go Terps!

@MrAndyNgo @USAO_DC @Reddit @bluesky This is unreal. What kind of brainless NPCs mobilize to murder auditors exposing corruption? It’s like seeing radical terrorists popping out of the grass from nowhere. It’s like finding out half the country are Manson Family cult members.

US Presidents do have real power, but it has limits. “DOGE” is not “a thing”—no law created it, and it cannot magically snuff legally created entities (like USAID) just because @elonmusk has a lot of money. That assessment is not “woke,” but rather Schoolhouse Rock-level basic USA democracy. If you don’t like it, feel free to move to the DPRK.

Re. #USAID, do the unelected wise men of “DOGE” really think a foreign aid policy conceived of and wholly implemented by purity-tested assholes helps our cause? For someone who can bring a reusable rocket into reality, it seems kinda dumb, @elonmusk.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Recent email to NSF PIs from Director Panchanathan asks us to happily lop off our own noses. I am disinclined, and I hope my school’s higher-ups agree. Make them come after the money already transferred—don’t do the job for them.
Allison Lopatkin, PhD@AllisonLopatkin

Just got the email that all charges to my open NSF award are paused. I imagine NIH is coming soon. What happens to students everywhere when we can’t pay their salaries, even if it’s only a few weeks of a gap (at best)?

Why do we have sex, and sexes, at all? In his new book "The Other Big Bang," Biology Professor Eric Haag explores the two-billion-year history of sex. At Science on Tap on Wednesday, November 20, Eric will give an informal talk on his new book. RSVP here: go.umd.edu/sot1124

@ravenscimaven One should be careful with self-publishing. For starters, getting honest feedback is a key to a great project. To tweak the legal adage, “an author who serves as her own editor has a fool or a client.”
