Of all of the “dangers of AI” papers, this is most worrying: AI researchers building a tool to find new drugs to save lives realized it could do the opposite, generating new chemical warfare agents. Within 6 hours it invented deadly VX… and worse things https://t.co/PB6l5A717F

To mark the end of Pride Month, here is a short thread to celebrate some trans scientists and their amazing contributions. These are great scientists, and great people who have risen above transphobia to succeed - that's worth celebrating.

Methotrexate, which apparently can cause abortions, being DISCONTINUED for RA & Lupus patients that are able to conceive is CRUEL since it's such an effective treatment.

To my colleagues in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Missouri who are on call this weekend—I will be crying for you when that bleeding and septic miscarriage, previable PEC/PPROM comes in, ectopics etc.

My friends are choosing between jail and leaving a woman to die.

He sido un duro crítico a las posturas políticas y electorales de la CONAIE, no obstante, en este momento tienen mi irrestricto apoyo. Solo la unidad incondicional de las izquierdas, abrazando al movimiento indígena y campesino, podrá salvar al Ecuador 🧵👇

As a fertility doctor, I’m scared about what this means for IVF. The definition of life will be defined at the state level and will change the scope of my field in many places.

Es un día doloroso. Enfrentamos la pobreza a golpes.

Queda mucho del pensamiento colonial: Todos lo vemos, pero preferimos hacernos los cojudos.

Al final, cuando la inequidad regresa como violencia, respondemos desde el confort diciendo que somos una mierda.

Viva el Ecuador.

Calling on all conference organizers and professional scientific societies - please do not organize conferences in states that restrict women’s rights. I will certainly not attend and I urge other scientists to not attend. Yes, I know there are also good people in these states 1/
