One year ago, I reserved and paid a deposit on two rooms at hyatt Place Princeton through Hotels.com for my daughter's graduation. One day before arrival I learn that @hyatt canceled one room without explanation or recourse. Now am scrambling to find housing. Buyers beware.

We are going to lose an entire generation of scientists. NSF, one of the largest federal funder of STEM education has seen an 80% reduction in funding, including support for trainees, so far this year. “You can’t have science without scientists”

Clarification-the study doesn’t change standard of care; it implicates IL6R in #pancreaticcancer #cancercachexia but more work is needed to determine who might benefit (those with highest IL6?), and to consider combination therapies with blockade of GDF15, other cachexia factors.

Dr. King defeated racist government officials & ended segregation through disciplined non-violent resistance. Defeating Trumpism, oligarchy & authoritarianism requires that same level of discipline. Violent protests are counterproductive and play right into Trump’s playbook.

RFK Jr. has removed all experts from the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee- shifting decades of independent, science-based guidance into political hands. The consequences could be far-reaching.

Most people have no idea how much we’ve already lost. Public lands aren’t surplus—they’re the last refuges for life pushed to the edge. Elk and beavers need more than a photo op. They need space, silence, and a future not paved over for profit.
