I think it says something that so many scientists noticed Pubmed was down on a random Saturday afternoon in March Scientists noticed because: (1) we rely on Pubmed to look up info and (2) because scientists are working around the clock to solve health problems. Keep us working.

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. scim.ag/3XlYkEu News from Science

Legend David Baltimore died yesterday. He understood the way things should work: "the real contribution of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes ideas seriously, but the people are relatively informal. They are not self-aggrandizing the way academics can be.
