Biscuits DO freeze well. I can easily justify buying 40 biscuits at a time. Can we even be friends ever?! #Humor Listening to @chelseaeharvey.bsky.social at #SciWri26; so glad we're talking #SciPolicy at this #SciComm conference. #Science #Climate

Here's a silly story for no reason: My fav cafe in Cobble Hill (East One, RIP) used to sell these rosemary biscuits that I was *obsessed* with. Then one day they abruptly switched bakeries & I was super sad. (The source is a wholesale bakery & even I can't justify buying 40 biscuits at a time.) 1/

Did you know? A group of beavers is called a colony or a family. I like to think of #SciWri26 science writers as a family. Today's topics: #SciPolicy, #AI for social good, funding science, and more! Thanks for providing cookies for us, @oregonstate.edu

University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Lab are working together to build a $1.25M computing facility. Prof Joy Rohde argues that it poses grave intellectual, institutional, and ethical challenges, based on the history of similar partnerships since World War II. #umich #scipolicy #techpolicy

Seems safe: Use-inspired #research, tech dev, AI, quantum, research in the national security community's interest

🔥 Proud to share our new paper in Nature:

“The convergence of AI & synthetic biology: the looming deluge”

We explore how AI is accelerating biotech—and why oversight must keep up.

Can we stay ahead of the AI biodesigner?

Legal Scholar Michael Bohlander Dissects UFO Evidence, Proof Standards, and Secrecy
Professor Michael Bohlander, a former international judge and current Chair in Global Law and SETI Policy at Durham University, applies legal standards of evidence and proof to UFO and UAP claims. He argues that substantial data already exist, but that classification, narrative control, stigma, and misunderstandings about evidence prevent institutions from treating the subject with seriousness commensurate to the reports.
