a fascinating thread on how the field of evolutionary biology is not transphobic, and how the science actually works from those in the field (not the loud wrong BINARY voices). A reminder to ask the real scientists . . .
If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

This looks interesting.

I think that high-quality journals that really use experts in peer review will become EVEN more important as AI garbage comes streaming into our academic lives #AcademicSky #EduSky
Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you can guess where this is going... though it does have a bit of a twist.
I was poking around Google Scholar for publications about the relationship between chatbots and wellness. Oh how useful: a systematic literature review! Let's dig into the findings. 🧵

President Trump thinks he can intimidate Colorado by shuttering NCAR.
It’s political retribution, Senator John Hickenlooper and I won’t stand for it. We are holding up the appropriations package to demand NCAR is fully funded.

Good. American excellence in science is the result of decades of federal investment in facilities and in training scientists. NCAR does not belong to the President. It belongs to all of us.

A New Zealand court announced an injunction on the far-right trans health care ban there.

Disgusting that Democrats would join with GOP on this attack on trans rights and parental rights.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.

I now believe that part of the reason many Americans have embraced anti-science and anti-vaccine beliefs is that healthcare is so expensive.
So there is an attractiveness to the idea of being able to opt out of the healthcare system by eating healthy, consuming supplements and detoxing.
