The @GOP owns this forever. You might have wondered why @SpeakerJohnson failed to hang the plaque honoring the service of US Capitol police officers for their role in protecting the Capitol on Jan. 6th, 2021....wonder no longer. The Republican party is rotten to the very core.

Cecropin, found in silk moths, was the first antimicrobial peptide isolated from an animal. Today, thousands of AMPs have been characterized, and recent studies have revealed just how important these molecules are for defending against infections. Image credit: Shutterstock/ibreakstock.

The Jensen Huang case isn't a one-off, says the head of a private security firm. In the last year, he says his firm has investigated multiple cases of tech execs in relationships with women believed to be Chinese spies. And FBI agents are busy elsewhere. sfstandard.com/2026/11/14/je…
Jensen Huang’s spy scandal isn’t a one-off

Jensen Huang’s spy scandal isn’t a one-off

Chinese intelligence is working the AI industry’s top floors. Tech companies aren’t prepared — and the FBI agents who should be watching have been sent elsewhere.

Rubio: North Korea is a governed by a guy who is not interested in conquering in Japan. He just wants to survive. I’m not excusing the things that he’s done. I’m just saying. He's not looking to invade Japan or China or whatever

Really enjoyed joining forces with plant ROS expert @YoseFichman for this review! 🌱 We discuss how reactive oxygen species (ROS) shape plant development, their roles in signaling, and the many questions still open. Lots more to explore! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Q: You were trying to make upgrades at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon. Why? Why not do it at say midnight on Saturday when there are fewer planes lined up to take off? DUFFY: There will be a reevaluation of when we do this work

I gather I missed a spate of silly sniping by several sourpusses at @SarahLongwell25 last night. It's too bad that what should be cheerful admiration has, for them, curdled into sour envy.

From carbon dioxide to starch—no plants required. In Science, researchers developed a cell-free method of synthesizing starch from CO2 and hydrogen using a combination of chemical catalysts and a carefully selected set of enzymes. Learn more: scim.ag/4sPujLZ #ScienceMagArchives

Ukraine’s fight is our fight, too. If Putin succeeds, America and our allies will be less safe. That’s why I’ve stood with Ukraine from the beginning and why I’ll keep fighting to make sure Ukrainians have what they need to defend their country and their freedom.
