I grew up with West Coast wildfire smoke, but it looks so much worse in the East. Boston was a legit hellscape today.

Stop by the NIH Pavilion at booth 901 to take a #London themed group photo!
And, at 10:40 this morning, you can learn from @Sagebio's @emkcosta about the AD Knowledge Portal! #AAIC2026 #AAIC26 #endAlz @model-ad.bsky.social

Neat thing about living in a small coastal town with massive temperature gradients is that four web sites can simultaneously report current temp is 78, 82, 83, and 93 F.
On-site thermometer says 89. NOAA wins.

I assigned random gender/ethnicity labels to scientific abstracts from the literature and then asked Claude to do a thematic analysis. Claude identified a clinical versus computational split for female/male authors and a DEI focus for Black/URM authors. All in completely random data.

Just accelerated out of the last turn straight into takeoff. Finally got a pilot who is serious about on time arrivals.

As a Serious Scientist I was preparing to scoff at such frippery, but I think this is cool. It legitimately succeeds at what every speaker who ever used comic sans in a science talk was trying to do.
It's not just what you say, but how you say it.

Thinking of stuff I've owned for a while as new was a fun sign of age (e.g. my "new Kindle" is 14 years old LOL) until I realized my "new bike" is now 8 years old and now I am catastrophic need of buying a new bike

Spring in Maine, as told by my Garmin watch data:
- intensity minutes rise as I abandon the trainer to bike outside
- sleep/rest metrics magically rise
- stress score and resting heart rate magically fall
- intensity minutes rise as I abandon the trainer to bike outside
