Cambridge folks - Darwin’s workers are trying to form a co-op coffee shop in one of the Darwin’s spaces that are shutting down!
They need funding, you can support them here:

Recently I wrote a post suggesting that peer review doesn't work, and then some weird things happened. A tenured professor threatened to get me fired. Strangers sent me unhinged emails. (People said nice things too.) This week I sort through it all.

One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will.

HAPPENING NOW: Concerto Biosciences CEO @cheri_ackerman presents how we discovered Ensemble No.2, a new microbial treatment for eczema—and why we owe it to eczema patients to make skin microbiome research comprehensive and rigorous. See you there!

just thinking about that time when the Supreme Court ruled that a 35 foot safety buffer for abortion clinics was a violation of the first amendment

We can map DNA-DNA contacts to chart 3D genomes with classic Hi-C, but where are these contacts positioned in the nucleus? Proud to release a new flavor of Hi-C, LIMe-Hi-C, a method that tags & maps DNA-DNA contacts relative to the nuclear periphery! (1/N) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A wee thread about a young boy and the tweet that got away. Feel free to RT.
Three weeks ago my youngest, Gabriel 12, came home upset. His love of woodwork was not deemed cool, nor was only having 6 followers on his instagram. 1/15

Math-wise, I know there’s no way all of the ppl who follow me on this website are union members. If you work in a non union job, it’s time to change that. Comment or send me a DM to get connected with an organizer via @organizeworkers

Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.
He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

This is fascinating from @tomwblack.
FedEx is struggling to keep its workers during a period of high labor market churn.
UPS is crushing them, thanks to its unionized workforce that people don't want to quit.
Amazing GIF they made for it

Remember: @wirecutterunion is on strike, and have asked folks not to click on any Wirecutter links this weekend. They’re fighting for a fair wage and a union contract, and @nytimes is dragging its well-shod feet. No contract, no clicks! Don’t cross the digital picket line!
With an avalanche of early Black Friday promotions, @wirecutter separates the deals from the duds. nyti.ms/3cMMnA5

Wow. Deere announced today that their salaried employees will be getting an across-the-board 8% wage increase.
This is what people mean when they say unions hold the line for the whole working class -- when strikers win against corporate America, everybody reaps the benefits.
