This is amazing. This sort of story is why I love the non-science talks we have at the Crick. You've got to widen your perspective.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

THIS JUST IN: YOU HAVE TO PUT EFFORT IN TO UNDERSTAND A COMPLEX SUBJECT. MORE AT 9

Rejoining Erasmus+ is essential for the protection of our environment - saving the planet cannot be done in isolation. We must work together to protect future generations from the climate crisis.

Years they've been doing this stuff. YEARS.
And still some think it was a 'mistake' or 'irresponsible'.
It was deliberate.
Every trans person knew before it happened what they would do and they did it.

I try not to do media criticism because we all make mistakes and there but for the grace of god go I. But it was really irresponsible for mainstream outlets to run with the "trans slogans engraved on the bullet" narrative, which seemed implausible from the jump.
