I'm an anthropologist who studies babies, and how their behavior and physiology is shaped by the unique way that we feed our babies as mammals: lactation.

2. Hi old friends! I promised you BlueSky primers and pro tips. I will drop those in the rest of THIS thread.

If you are stupid enough to take research money from *checks notes* a "50-something year-old bachelor/businessman/philanthropist who had been arrested for solicitation of a prostitute,” you are too stupid to be a scientist.

In our research we’ve learned a lot about how breastfeeding impacts human health. But in order for people to apply science in their lives, it needs to be understood by more than just scientists:...

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it.
Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

Men aren’t born with a propensity to commit acts of sexual violence. It is socialized behavior, often learned through abuse itself. Take fraternities and hazing as one example. The slightly older students beat the younger ones and the cycle continues year after year. Sports teams, armies, the same.

I knew he’d eventually start talking about arresting Obama. I’m surprised it took this long. He is obsessed with Obama, always has been. He haaaates how popular he is, and how much smarter and cooler and fitter he is than Trump. And he is jealous of his Nobel Peace Prize.

Minnesota physicians have been reporting *several* cases where pts presented with injuries inconsistent with ICE’s claimed cause. They also report pts afraid to tell the truth about their injuries, and agents intimidating staff refusing to leave pts room even when pt is receiving an exam or bath.
"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..."

Last night, emceeing:
"Whose lab are you in?"
"My lab."
"Yes, but whose?"
"The Hebert Lab, it's me, it's mine."
"But under who?"
Also: "Scientists are usually so serious, you're good at funny, too!" What a weird generalization we're still fighting. Quick backstage shot being shiny and myself. #WIS
