It seems pretty clear to me now: Keir Starmer would rather lose to Reform than to the Labour left, which is his real enemy. Any policy that might recover lost ground with voters has to be struck down, as it looks like a concession to the Labour left. And he and his team cannot contemplate that.

Showing the viability of careers in the creative sector to people from Black and Ethnic Minority Backgrounds is crucial in building racial diversity in the sector.

Case studies of conservation paleobiology in action?
Of course! Part of an illustration series commissioned by @erinmdillon.bsky.social to showcase how the field can lead to real world changes.
The example here shows coastal clam beds in British Columbia and how they support local environments.

Jay is the lead author on a fascinating paper I was involved in, about how male mimicry by female hummingbirds provides the first example of a type of signaling system that we predicted from theoretical principles over a decade ago.
This is infuriating.
And I believe it's due to anti-trans bias.

My NSF PRFB on the genetics of female polymorphism in hummingbirds was terminated yesterday.
I don't have much to say, I'm just sad. We've discovered so much, and could have gone so much further.
If anyone else is in the same boat, esp postdocs, please reach out, it would be good to connect.
