Oh dear. Several folks sent me this: A science fair project that won the Regeneron Young Scientist Award, a $50,000 scholarship, and First Place, a $5,000 cash award applies to have stolen images and data from other papers. docs.google.com/document/u/0/d…

Jetzt ist es offiziell: ich bin eine "einschlägig auffällige Angreiferin". Vllt schaffe ich es nächstes Jahr in das Jahrbuch der Cool-Kids. x.com/ma7c_de/status…

🧡Super fun morning in Denver mWISE Conference speaking about #SecureByDesign and the need to stop glamorizing villains & blaming victims, and to start demanding much, much more of technology vendors. cisa.gov/securebydesign

Imagine if you woke up this morning and found that the NIH-funded database that holds all of the data that you and thousands of other scientists around the world consult every day was turned off. Gone. Despite many efforts by a community of scientists to lobby NIH NIH Director

Dear Media, STOP calling RFK Jr a vaccine "skeptic". He is an antivaxx liar. An anti-science fearmonger. An exploitive brand builder. He has NOTHING to do with thoughtful skepticism. Don't normalize false balance, middle ground fallacies, or his harmful BS.
