- Where can I find a cover of "Blinding Lights" with the same amount of grit that Rizzo injects? I like the rat version better than the original. All Spotify searched covers are in the wrong direction. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5pMe...

- Reposted by N.S. VitekI've been sitting on this for over a month...but given how cross I am with @royalsociety.org at their ongoing inaction over #Elon #Musk I thought I'd share this. They invited me to serve on their Public Engagement Committee; I could have been more eloquent, but I had to give a firm "no"...
- Why the @royalsociety.org want to be tethered to this sinking ship is beyond me ☹️

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit.
