Jeg har ikke ord.. dette er så grovt! Som skeiv som har opplevd mye negativitet, frukt og mikroaggresjon på grunn av at jeg er åpent lesbisk, så kjenner jeg at dette blir personlig!

Transpersoner kan ikke stole på helsevesenet - det angår oss alle
DEBATT: Det er en selvfølge at institusjoner som FHI og OUS skal forstå at god forskning ikke kan skje uten et fundament av tillit. Og tillit kan ikke kreves. Den må fortjenes.

We are phasing out the terms “extant” and “extinct” from our exhibits and will now refer to species as either “Darwinners" or “Darlosers.”

I guess now would be a good time for my first post here. Yesterday we published a new paper on the incredible ecosystem of tetrapods and other vertebrates in Science. It has been years of work - but we got there in the end. Thank you to everyone the contributed to this work ❤️

An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago.

An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago. The quantity and diversity of marine reptile and amphibian fossils show that these groups had already radiated into complex oceanic ecosystems by ~249 million years ago.

#FossilFriday Painted black to enhance contrast, a pair of cheilostome colonies encrusting a test of Echinocorys from the English Chalk. Bryozoans are exceedingly common on the tests of this infaunal echinoid which had to be exhumed before encrustation.

Team #NorDigBryo is currently having a workshop, and gingerbread baking has been a fun activity in the evenings. We definitely had to make some bryozoans!

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants.

This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks.

www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
A scanned Supreme Court of the United States order, dated November 6, 2025, in the case Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. v. Ashton Orr, et al., No. 25A319. The document discusses an Executive Branch policy requiring passports to display an individual’s biological sex at birth. The highlighted passage reads: “Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases.” The Court grants the government’s application for a stay at this preliminary stage, reasoning that the government is likely to succeed on the merits and that the policy does not violate equal protection principles.
