Whoops. An Australian review triggered by transgender panic finds that puberty blockers and other care for adolescence is safe, effective, and reversible if desired. Awkward for the folks who clamored for this review.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Let's have a chat about "Extrication following a Motor Vehicle Collision"
It's written by some people you probably know:
Tim Nutbeam, Rob Fenwick, Charlotte Haldane, Caroline Leech, Emily Foote, Simon Todd, David Lockey
Honestly, this is a breath of fresh air following years of cutting off roofs.

Obviously, this comes at a time when there is significant ideological interference in this area. What’s the truth?
