They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

- Reposted by Krystle J McLaughlinTrump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval. People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is. This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.

- Also if you at at #ACA2025 and missed my talk today, you can catch my other talk on Tuesday in 4.2.3 Engaging Students with Crystallography where I will share lessons learned from creating/running a protein crystallography CURE!
- Gave a talk in the Hot Structures session today at #ACA2025 in Chicago! Fun fact: the first conference talk I ever gave was in 2010 at my first ACA meeting, also in the Hot Structures session, also in Chicago!! (See bonus pic below of me attending ACA2010) ☺️ And if you see me at #ACA2025 say hi!

- Fro the last few years, as part of a final assignment in my senior biophysical chem class I ask students to share a class-related memes, with ones they make themselves highly encouraged! For everyone's enjoyment, here are some of my favorites! #chemistry #biochemistry #sigfigs #units 🧪

- Reposted by Krystle J McLaughlinI've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

- Yesterday's announcement canceling MARC, PREP, IMSD & IRACDA finally broke me. Spent most of the morning in my office crying. I think I'd been clinging to a glimmer of hope, but as an IRACDA alum,watching the the scale of loss for young scientists was heartbreaking. 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...
- Read this thread. This is really concerning, and exacting what others have been sounding the alarm about for bias creeping into AI/LLMs. 🧪
