@CreepyOrg This is called black pin mold, Rhizopus stolonifer, and is a very common agent of decomposition of stored foods

[Creepy.org @creepydotorg]

A tin of cat food left out created some bizarre and creepy mould.

An irritating pain point for me because this is what goes on in science. Scientists (some) feel like they don’t have time to listen to people with different worldviews, because they figure it’s of no value. Now we have entire populations of people who do not know wtf is going on

"We have a responsibility as lawmakers to investigate and understand the wrongs of the past, to study historic and ongoing racial discrimination in our state, and to shed light on a path for the future."

Black Coloradans, less likely to own a home or have a degree, deserve a deeper study of racial inequities, lawmakers say https://t.co/K3khdnLWRi

I was called a DEI recruit to my face.
(Not at Harvard; I would leave immediately)

At NIH. My 2nd week in my postdoc.

By another postdoc who TECHNICALLY, while not racially diverse, characterized as “DEI” too.

In my head, I was like baby we are in the same boat 😂

I support LGBTQ Wisconsinites, and I will continue to do everything in my power to defend them, protect their rights, and keep them safe.

There is something deeply flawed with SciPy. The recent @numpy_team paper just published with 26 male authors and 0 women is a symptom. 1/

@DhivaharJ1 Thanks for the follow, Dr. Dhivahar, and congrats on your new review! I've never studied bats, but read plenty of papers about hibernating bat microbiomes during my PhD🦇

[National Human Genome Research Institute @genome_gov]

There’s no wrong time or place to remind people that it’s time to stop seeing ourselves as having one complete human genome reference! One genome sequence can’t possibly represent everyone’s diversity.
