…Reports of Petrova’s detention come just weeks after a French #scientist was denied entry in the US this month after US #immigration officers searched his phone & found messages critical of #Trump.

Russian #scientist from #Harvard Medical School detained by #ICE
Cora Anderson, a friend & colleague of #KseniyaPetrova, shared the news of Petrova’s detention, saying Petrova arrived at #Boston’s Logan airport on 16 Feb from a trip to France when she was stopped by US authorities who revoked her #visa & told her she was to be deported to #Russia. In response, Petrova said she feared political persecution & was then sent to a #detention facility.

How a French researcher being refused entry to the US turned into a diplomatic mess.

The researcher was detained by police at the airport for over a day before being sent back to France, leaving his work computer and cell phone in the US.

The US administration states that the scientist had sensitive data on his computer and phone, contradicting the version of events put forward by the French research minister, who publicised the incident.

The Bible Was All Written by Men With #DaddyIssues | Francesca Stavrakopoulou

#Theologian and scholar Francesca Stavrakopoulou challenges conventional views on the authorship of the Bible, exploring the idea that many of its texts were written by men grappling with complex relationships with authority figures—particularly father figures.

A #Theory in #Science MUST be falsifiable aka it must be possible to proof it's wrong, if it's wrong. So every #Scientist has to live with being wrong. To be slightly less wrong than the ones before you is a big achievement - not only in science, but everywhere in life, actually.

What we call "being right" normally also just means "being slightly less wrong". Keep that in your mind. Always. Everywhere.

Hi, are you a cheesed off #scientist ?

How are you refocusing your research without budget support?

What resources will you need to contribute to the grand sum of human knowledge?

It may not look like much, but the light coloring on this little piece of filter paper is around 2 billion marine bacteria. While I've been out sailing along Line P, I'm trapping bacteria on these slips of paper by pumping water through the tiny little holes in the paper that are smaller than the bacteria but large enough for water to slip through. Once I get these to the lab, I can pop the bacteria open to collect their DNA and see who lives in the water and what they can do.
