Had an overwhelming day today. Meetings, 1st day of class, more meetings, wasn't feeling great. Yada Yada Yada. At end of the day I went for a quick drive to the Woodland Water Treatment Plant, about 10 minutes from my house. Lighting was really nice for stilt pics. 1/n ImageImageImage
Also got some nice pics of some other water birds like these (shoveler and green winged teal) 2/n ImageImage
But the real treat was not a water bird but a Swainson's Hawk hanging out on a telephone pole 3/n ImageImageImageImage
And then it took off and I got some nice pics, panning as it headed off. ImageImageImageImage
And a few more ImageImageImageImage
And that was when I realized that just seeing the Swainson's hawk was not the treat - the treat was seeing Swainson's hawks getting friendly ImageImageImageImage

Yuck. Cold Spring Harbor Lab meeting "celebrating" 50 years of recombinant DNA is a #manel #YAMMM

With a history of issues in sexism (e.g. Watson) at CSHL this is sad. And bonus featuring Lander w/ his own history of issues as session chair & panel discussion leader
Years ago I routinely felt the need to critique Cold Spring Harbor meetings for their gender bias - eg see --- I had thought they had gotten better in response to critiques but clearly notphylogenomics.blogspot.com/2016/03/if-you…
Remember when Francis Collins made a big deal about how he would "respectfully, or not so respectfully, decline" participation in panels that did not have diverse speakers - pretty clear he is not keeping his promise cc: @AliceParkNY https://t.co/XVgHHpMT8ctime.com/5611142/manels…

Thank you @sacbee for this critically important editorial:

Masking in public should be mandatory, even if California officials refuse to take action sacbee.com/opinion/editor…

Attention @Chancellor_May @ucdavis - it is time for UC Davis to do the right thing
I agree:

"While deaths and hospitalizations are lower thanks to the availability of vaccines and treatments, we invite new risks by ignoring what we have learned after two-plus years and 1 million deaths."

Exactly:

"Reviving mask requirements in certain environments, such as public transportation, large indoor gatherings, certain school settings and workplaces, could reduce transmission without restricting public life."

Looking for studies on impact of masks and vaccination on COVID transmission in classrooms.

I found this discussion of a recent paper - wondering if people have other pointers out there or comments on this study - thanks:

viterbischool.usc.edu/news/2022/05/u…
I also found this article which just came out a few days ago journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
In this last paper the authors write "We show in our example application that universal use of masks that block 40% of aerosols & the installation of near-ceiling, fan-mounted UVC systems both have the potential to lead to substantial risk reductions .. "

Thank you to the people speaking up against this horrible comment from Kipnis saying that if you critique an institution (like his) after you leave, you are disgusting. Such a bad take.

Going to try to live Tweet this talk at @ucdavis by Frazier Benya on "Sexual Harassment: Where it Thrives and How to Prevent and Address it Within Higher Education"
Right now @ProvostCroughan and @RaquelEAldana are introducing Dr. Benya Image
