Dr. Knurick seems to be most active in the video-based social media platforms like іnstа.

I would also look at Amy Non's work. She's an anthropologist who studies social inequalities in health outcomes (and the biological/molecular basis of such inequalities). Not sure how much public science communication she does, though, but definitely a researcher in this area.

I know that Jessica Knurick has spoken on such issues before. She's a dietician and nutritionist with a large social media footprint, who does a lot of pseudoscience-debunking online (e.g. responding to bad health info by discussing systemic issues that impede people's access to healthy lifestyles)

We jointly analyzed datasets of adaptive change (e.g. drug-resistance mutations) and independent measurements of mutation rates, across a number of species, and show that species-specific tendencies in adaptive evolution respond (statistically) to species-specific mutational tendencies.

It has become increasingly clear in recent years that the outcomes of adaptive evolution are statistically enriched for not only beneficial mutations but also high-probability mutations; see our review of the literature: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

Not only blasphemous but also seems to be contradicted by facts. Religious influence on public life has declined for centuries, not just in recent decades, accompanied by both periods of conflict & relative peace, with an overall upward trend in many metrics for social progress & quality of life.

In addition to the unconscionable act of taking people’s medicine away, this illustrates how fundamentally unserious they are about solving serious societal problems like gun violence.

It’s such a great film!
Also I recall seeing a tumblr thread referring to that as the most flirtatious sword fight ever, and basically arguing that everyone in that movie is bi.

Yeah if bewilders me that people—reasonable people, like in news media—analyze him as though he has complicated thoughts and strategies, knowing full well that the madness of 2016-2020 happened.

My recollection is that the first 18 verses of John 1 was also a later addition, or at least this is a popular view among some scholars (my new testament professor was a scholar of John who held this view).

That's kind of along the lines of the concept of the Middle Path in Buddhism.

I gotta wonder if that percent goes up when you only sample atheists. Can’t help but notice it’s 7% if you add “God guided evolution” & “humans existed since beginning of time.”
One possibility is, a lower tendency to be religious might correlate with reduced reverence for the sanctity of polling.
