Agave fermentations not only produce mezcal and tequila; they are also natural laboratories of microbial evolution. Had a great time working on this with @LuciaMoralesR, @EugenioMancera, and @deluna_lab as part of the #YeastGenomesMx onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ye…

.@elonmusk Let’s break this down one by one: "If Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election": This claim is alarmist nonsense, designed to manipulate emotions and undermine the fundamentals of American democracy. Let’s not forget that Trump, in his desperation, did everything in his power to steal the 2020 election after losing by over 7 million votes. He even called for the termination of the U.S. Constitution, a clear signal that his respect for democracy evaporates when things don’t go his way. Then there was his fake elector scheme, a brazen attempt to override the will of the American people and cling to power. Let’s be clear: Trump is the one who threatens democracy, not the one to "save" it. His Project 2025 lays out a dangerous blueprint for consolidating power in ways that could undermine democratic institutions, centralizing control over federal agencies to serve his agenda. If there’s any risk of this being "the last election," it’s Trump who could make that a reality if given another term. That’s the real threat we should be concerned about. "If even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years": This is misleading. Undocumented immigrants cannot simply "become citizens." The pathway to citizenship is highly regulated, requiring lawful permanent residency (a green card) first, which can take years, even decades. Furthermore, there is no evidence of Democrats expediting this process for political purposes. Legal immigration and citizenship processes are slow, complex, and thoroughly vetted. "Democrats are flying ‘asylum seekers’ into swing states to win elections": This is a conspiracy theory with no factual basis. Asylum seekers go through a rigorous process and are not automatically granted citizenship. Most asylum seekers take years to achieve lawful status, and even longer for naturalization. There is zero credible evidence of coordinated relocation efforts aimed at swing states to influence elections. Furthermore, asylum seekers cannot vote until they complete the lengthy naturalization process, which takes many years. "America will become a one-party state": This ignores the diverse and evolving nature of American politics. Voters, including immigrants who naturalize, do not uniformly vote for one party. Factors like the economy, local issues, and shifting demographics all play significant roles. Republicans, for instance, have made gains with Hispanic voters in some regions, illustrating that voting preferences are not predetermined. "This happened in California after the 1986 amnesty": Even after the 1986 amnesty, California remained politically competitive for years, and today Republicans still hold seats in Congress and statewide offices. "California is an example of what will happen to America": This is an extreme exaggeration. California has the fifth strongest economy in the world. California’s challenges, such as homelessness or cost of living issues, are complex and cannot be simplistically tied to immigration or one-party governance. Many of these problems are seen in cities across the country, regardless of political control. Additionally, California has implemented successful policies in education, technology, and environmental protection that other states look to emulate. "There are 9 million migrants eligible for naturalization": While the number of migrants eligible for naturalization may be accurate, it is misleading without context. Eligibility doesn’t mean automatic citizenship or immediate voting rights. The naturalization process involves a waiting period, background checks, interviews, and language and civics tests. Many eligible immigrants do not apply or take years to complete the process. Also, newly naturalized citizens do not all vote the same way, political preferences among immigrant communities are diverse. In summary, this false conspiracy suggests that immigration policies are being weaponized to permanently alter the U.S. political landscape in favor of one party. The reality is far more complex, and American democracy is robust, not dependent on any one election or candidate unless Project 2025 is implemented if Trump wins this election.

An international multi-language survey spearheaded by #eLifeAmbassador @HaageVc is asking #postdocs about the reasons behind their early departure from research groups. Take the survey and help the group address the postdoc crisis: elifesciences.org/inside-elife/0… @PostdocVoice

Esto es alarmante y muestra, una vez más, la malicia, incompetencia o las dos que muestran repetidamente @Conahcyt_Mex bajo la “dirección” de @ElenaBuylla Pronto acabará la peor directora de CONAHCYT, pero no acabará la memoria y desdén por tanta fregadera.
