It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.
My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

“This is my home — I really love my country,” says a graduate student at a top US university who works in plant genomics and agriculture. “But a lot of my mentors have been telling me to get out, right now.”
A recent Nature poll has found that 75% of researchers surveyed are considering leaving the United States for jobs abroad, with a higher percentage among early-career researchers.
Many are actively looking for jobs in Canada and Europe.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

How firm is the hold of antivax beliefs?

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

Spring is approaching, and winter is almost over, but it's been an unusually tough season with a surge in viral infections.
Why Are Flu And Other Viral Infection Rates So High This Year?
Flu infections are the highest they’ve been in nearly 30 years, and flu deaths this winter have surpassed COVID deaths. What’s going on?

Excellent example of a way to reach your local community! Highly suggest partnering with @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social for op-ed's such as these and Dr. Smider's is a great example of how to frame our issues for the general. public.
My op-ed below (which is a paper covering a chunk of Appalachia in Ohio) has gotten some attention. It’s not too hard to understand - people support cancer research.

Some tips for oil painters that I picked up from the lovely @anniestegg.bsky.social & my chemical engineer dad!

3) use non toxic oils (I use olive oil to clean my brushes)
4) wear gloves
5) always have fresh air ventilation! & a

Narwhals are difficult to study, partly because they live so far north in the remote Arctic.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.
