Today seems like a good day to remember Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958), whose pioneering work in X-Ray diffraction led to the discovery of the structure of DNA – but only after one of her photos was stolen and shown to the men who would later win a Nobel Prize for the discovery (without citing her).

The scientist produced an X-ray photograph in 1952, that helped show the structure of DNA

Also important to reflect on which groups & individual CYP might benefit from #accessarrangements, eg a quiet room, reader, scribe, movement breaks, comfy clothes, extra time, fidget items, laptop, standing desk, SEMH support …

TY @thewoodbug.bsky.social 🙏

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

100% agree.
Stop calling people 'morons', 'idiots' and 'retards'.

My new book (out in June from @Wildfirebks) tells how badly people with learning disabilities have been treated in the past, and the way that is embedded in everyday culture today.

I leant upon a coppice gate
When Frost was spectre-gray,
And Winter’s dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
Had sought their household fires.

Well things are progressing well. Still very early stages. Head whirls with all the things to remember but I've parked all the negative thoughts and enjoy it. Loving pottery.

Today is my first day of pottery since 1986. Hope my hands hold out. Fingers crossed. Capability being before rather than after.

You are never alone in your experience of suffering. This story resonates deeply for me. I hope it does for others reading it.

Yeah, I spent my Friday afternoon cutting out 12 paper brains so the children in my workshop next week can wear their brain as a hat and learn about the different parts 🤷‍♀️

There are lots of great books on the subject and lots of debate. The pack system is more fluid than previously thought and also can differ from one region to another. Captive wolves are obviously easier to observe, so there’s more data, next would be national park packs, like the Yellowstone wolves.
