I'm curious to hear what others are thinking. We talk a lot about the need to fight for science (yes!) and trainees (yes!) and supporting one another (yes!) and the fear that labs will shut down (tragic and horrible!). But less around the question: How does this change your next-few-years-plans? /5

When a NASA microphone recorded the first sounds on Mars in 2021 it found something unexpected: sound above about 240 hertz travels roughly ten metres a second faster, so high-pitched parts of a sound...
The thin Martian atmosphere doesn't just muffle sound—it scrambles it, separating high and low frequencies as they travel.

Grokipedia defines race by genetics, and also states that population-scale differences in IQ and crime rates are genetically caused. Comparing the Wikipedia and Grokipedia case study pages, genetics terms are more prominent on Grokipedia, and the citations are often total nonsense (see alt text).
![A screenshot from the Grokipedia page "Black people". The first sentence defines black people as a genetic cluster, citing Rosenberg et al., 2005 (https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.0010070). The Rosenberg paper does not state this at any point.
The last sentence states "Black populations have produced notable figures in civil rights, athletics, and entertainment, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela, while facing documented group-level disparities in socioeconomic outcomes, health, and crime rates across diaspora communities, which empirical studies link to a interplay of genetic, cultural, and institutional causal factors amid debates over environmental versus heritable influences.[7]". Citation [7] is a total fabrication, pointing to a link that lists the population densities of African countries (https://worldpopulationreview.com/continents/sub-saharan-africa)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2oplmvz6komu5f22e3flzuo5/bafkreiefzs5jlpb74r2qbh4h2koabxqyr6blunpqe7a2b5of6wm2rsznzi)

Why do some cranial sutures fuse too early? New FaceBase data point to timing: FGFR2 signaling normally declines after birth, dialing down retinoic acid to keep the coronal suture open. Overactivate it and the suture closes. RNA-Seq, Chai lab, USC. @ccmb.usc.edu www.facebase.org/2026/08/04/r...
