Thanks for putting this together, Jeff. To what extent do you think we can actually trust some of these numbers from certain fed law enforcement agencies? Did you find any glaring discrepancies from the reporting agencies that have been under increased pressure to demonstrate dropping crime rates?

Sorry to hear that your subdiscipline & conference organizers have also decided to roll back progress made in the meeting safety and JEDI realms after years of organizing led by researchers from historically excluded groups in STEM. I've felt the same frustration with a certain fisheries society.

Cora, I know I'm late to the poem party, but this is so beautiful it made my eyes get misty. I read it aloud to my 90-yr-old grandmother (a fellow Luddite and critic of tech billionaires, all 4'11" of her). Cheers to fighting for a better future with our feet planted here on our natal terra firma.

Congrats, Juliet! I'm sorry you're receiving such atrocious responses to a huge accomplishment. You have so much to be proud of, so don't let their energy bring you down for one moment! 🐝🦋🐛🐞

This piece by @sramach.bsky.social and @cbo.bsky.social does address Watson's real legacy.

The science he helped pioneer consistently undermines his view that genes determine everything about us.
