Possibly the greatest achievement of my career: having one of my photos on display in the Natural History Museum’s Images of Nature gallery, showcasing how we can use photography to do science!

Btw it would be really cool if Brits stopped pretending that all of this Hostile Environment stuff with their immigration system is ‘the Trumpification of the UK government’ or just ‘Labour wanting to be like the US’ - this is all the logical endpoint of decades of homegrown bigotry.

I’m really upset about this as a Guiding member for over 30 years. We’ve always welcomed trans girls and made a safe space for them. Not sure this will make any difference but if you can sign please do: c.org/SR6NcW46B7

Data visualisation is great. Found two sets of very similar samples that I'd accidentally given the same label, so I measured their FTIR spectra and did a quick PCA to figure out which set was which

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

And it’ll never be enough for the racists that our current government is so desperate to cater to, and our immigration policies will only get crueler and more hostile, but it won’t matter to these fucking freaks until the number of immigrants AND racialised people in this country is 0.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

The EU court has ruled that Poland must recognise the marriage of a Polish same-sex couple who married in Germany, even though Polish law does not allow such marriages.
The ruling requires Poland to change its system for recognising such marriages so as not to discriminate against same-sex couples.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

A guy makes ONE tiny mistake (has a years-long friendship with the world's worst sex trafficker; brags about sexually harassing colleagues; is racist; says women are stupid) and his whole LIFE is blown up (does slightly fewer speaking engagements; keeps teaching at #1 university)??!?!?!?!?!
So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.
Got it.
