last year the NYT had a story about class and college admissions. I posted this graphic about the thing we talk about and the thing we don't even have a name for. Last night Michelle Obama offered a name! "The affirmative action of generational wealth" www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

👀 What do people look at on your scientific poster? New eye tracking pilot shows you what people look at, and what people ignore — so you can design a more attention-getting poster. Huge thanks to Ruth Pfosser for collecting the coolest poster data ever. Video here:

As part of the GREGoR Consortium’s research efforts, we are excited to announce new guidance to encourage clinical labs to report novel candidate genes during clinical testing. We give computable criteria for triaging, sharing, and reporting novel genes authors.elsevier.com/a/1jcDA3vlFV...

Best part of Tim Walz’s bio is that he was the school lunch room monitor. America needs that so badly right now

look, I'm sure we're going to have more stuff come out at some point that make people disappointed in Walz, every politician has flaws but doing this, at that time, is the sign of a fundamentally decent human being

Tim Walz was an enlisted soldier in the Minnesota National Guard in 1999 and defensive coordinator of the Mankato West High School football team. A student at the school, where Walz taught geography, wanted to start a gay-straight alliance

This was three years after the President, a Democrat, signed a law forbidding same-sex marriage. Soldiers suspected of being gay in Walz's own unit could be discharged from the military. But Walz, now Minnesota's Democratic candidate for governor, had seen the bullying some students endured and agreed to be the group's faculty adviser.

"It really needed to be the football coach, who was the soldier and was straight and was married," Walz said. In other words, he would be a symbol that disparate worlds could coexist peacefully.

UW is finally ending the caveman mask crow study after 16 years, which is apparently about the time it takes for the cultural memory of the caveman mask to fade out of local crow society 🥺 “It just doesn’t pay to keep scolding this [caveman] guy,” Marzluff said. www.kuow.org/stories/seat...
