I was happy to hear this perspective today on public radio. #KEDM #ArtificialIntelligence #HumanIntelligence

Great news for the city of Bangor, but not a good indicator of how other cities might be doing.

Avian Flu- it is not just poultry workers that may get exposed:

More concerns as Avian Flu is infecting and killing animals that may have contact with humans.

Sorry to hear that a great voice of Public Radio has passed away. Appropriately I heard about it while listening to #NPR #KEDM #PublicRadio

my lab is now studying e. coli. Today's topic is phosphorylation. It may be the most important post translational modification (PTM), particularly crucial for rapid and dynamic environmental adaptation. ecocyc provides examples:

I'm excited that my lab group can help lead this team effort to understand cell biology through microscopy, metabolism, and simulation and modeling!

Major cuts and restructuring being proposed in Both NIH and NSF budgets: #research #science

[Mark A. DeCoster @MarkDeCoster]

@cenewman0 Looks like many cuts in the latest NSF budget proposed and you highlight one in the big science category; across the board cuts would most likely also affect many potential projects of smaller size as well.

Interesting take on the impacts of Artificial Intelligence, discussing the book by Karen Hao: "Empire of AI". #NPR #AI

As the world's 5th largest economy, California is concerned with the impacts of defunding science and research. Knowledge is potential power; but those in power do not have to necessarily respect knowledge.

Some of the chaos is science and research in the United States right now may be re-distributing our scientists: #science

I was sad to learn from a graduate student that this may be happening. Cuts may be needed; I don't know. But to completely shut down the group seems to hurt us for future discoveries and keeping up with world-wide competition for materials development.

@RadioGenoa car is ahead of the bicycle and bigger. Looks like car is right to me.

Some would say that our only job as Americans is to make America Great Again. We have all benefitted from inviting knowledge and collaboration into our great country. It opens our eyes, and opens the eyes of others. Now we are closing them. #Fulbright

Gee, the numbers keep going up- how could this happen?- could there be a way to prevent this? #measlesoutbreak

Understanding, modeling, updating, and predicting the weather requires that we have good, accurate, and sufficient data. This may not help. #noaacuts
