James Watson'nin ardından bilimde ırkçılık ve cinsiyetçilik üzerine etkinlik vb. yapmak, Rosalind Franklin'i anmak isteyen çıkar mı acaba? #FeminizmVeBilim
Good day to remember Rosalind Franklin like any other day. 🧬🔬

Bazı erkek arkadaşlarım (yaşamadıkları için olsa gerek) kadınların bilimde nasıl duyulmadığını, görülmediğini anlamıyorlar.
Bunu gözlemleyerek büyüdüm, sonra da yaşadım. Uzun yazacağım.

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

I had a similar intuition once about return of romanticism. However, l am not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing 🤔.
Narrowly avoiding civilisational collapse by sliding into a Romantic resurgence is, theoretically, possible. Like, that is real.
I am choosing to acknowledge that as a real possibility

Yesterday at our conference I had a chance to learn about really crucial environmental research, done through community engagement, in the West Bank and Gaza. Studying pollution leading to birth defects , cancers, the whole lot. Funding? USAID. Now all gone; future research uncertain.

I am venturing into the scientific realism debate, thanks to Sober; I will have to do it some of these days anyway.
Elliott Sober was in town (ODTÜ/Ankara/Turkey) yesterday. He gave two talks back-to-back. Below is its flyer.
I thought I would disagree with him more :) Maybe I didn't understand it; who knows?
But I am inclined to think that there is a fundamental difference between electrons and dinosaurs.

I have just realized atheism is a form of monotheism, at least in the West, I don't know the situation in the East and South.

Watched "You Are Cordially Invited" episode of DS9- S06E07, once again. www.imdb.com/title/tt0708...
One of the best romantic comedies ever, imho.

To add clarity to this:
Influencers in China that discuss topics such as medicine, law, education, or finance must prove they are qualified or certified to do so, in an aim to clamp down on misinformation.
Right now it impacts large influencer accounts (1m+ followers) + bans false advertising.

If only supporters of modern synthesis refrain from the unjustified use of the phrase "evolution by natural selection", where just plain old "evolution" would do, we would have progressed with the discourse enormously.

My first-ever attempt at writing an academic article turned into a review of the field project :/
7 to 8 hundred articles are now waiting to be sorted out. 🤷♂️

For the last two days, I have been grappling with databases, AI tools, citation software, websites, etc., for a literature review I am planning. I want ONE THING to rule them ALL. Do I want too much?

The Turkish government tries to criminalize something they call "acting against innate biological sex" which is of course crazy.
11'nci yargı paketinden LGBTİ+ bireylere hapis cezası çıktı
📌 Aynı cinsiyetteki kişilerin nişan veya evlenme töreni yapmaları halinde bu kişilere, bir yıl altı aydan dört yıla kadar hapis cezası verilmesi planlanıyor.

I have just lost a long thread of posts I was writing about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Now, I believe that is for the best. Anyway, after a lengthy explanation of myself, I was going to say this:
Thou shalt not commit fucking genocide.
