At a birthday celebration for Duke Ellington at the White House, President Nixon came up to Cab Calloway and shook his hand effusively. "Pat and I love your music!" he told Calloway, who was surprised to hear it. "Happy, happy birthday, Mr. Ellington," Nixon continued. #jazz #Republicans

I've been speaking and writing lately about how tech companies try to shift the discussion on misinformation polarization, etc., away from the systems and structures that are inherently toxic and toward questions of individual behavior.

This way they can blame their own users for the any pathology and steer clear of calls for systemic change.

Today Elon Musk has come through with a perfect illustration for my future talks.

Throwback Tuesday:

I interviewed Facundo Batista for the @embojournal when he took over as Chief Editor in 2021. One of the things we discussed was the importance of mentors:

"TC: What do you remember most about Michael Neuberger as a mentor?

FDB: What was incredible about Michael was his clarity. You would present any biological problem to him, and he would crystallize in one sentence what the real question behind it was. He was amazing. Michael would enter into a state of thinking where he would stop looking at you and would start looking up at a wall and would start to concentrate for those 10, 20 minutes that you’d explain the problem. Then, he would come up with critical questions and he would be critical to the bones. "

Hi All, I’m excited to finally join the conversation at #ScienceMastodon.
Here is a belated #introduction. I’m an #evolutionary #biologist currently leading a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Biology. Our lab studies symbioses and the ways by which they facilitate #herbivory in insects, using tortoise beetles as a model.
Looking forward to connecting with many of you here! #evolution #ecology #microbiology #entomology #microscopy

Why are some people more likely to share #disinformation?

And another #PaperHistory thread for those interested in the material worlds of the past, dear #histodons.

You see a trompe l'oeil painting from 1883 by Walter Goodman: The Printsellers Window. It may have also been called the Papersellers Window https://magart.rochester.edu/objects-1/info/3889

Let's have a deeper look at the paper worlds present in this painting. The nineteenth-century in Europe was, just like the early modern period, a paper world of its own: another paper age. Paper was everywhere. #History
