I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I very much enjoyed this launch, with @thendbee.bsky.social talking about the chapter we wrote together (about neurodivergent students, focusing on undergrads) and @brianirvine.bsky.social enthusing delightfully about the whole book.
Also several other speakers. They're all good! 😊

In @thendbee.bsky.social & my chapter on the lived experiences of neurodivergent undergrads, we barely touched on monotropism.
I think reading it in conjunction with Carl's would really deepen someone's understanding of both, though - a neat example of the book's coherency!

Been married 16 years now. To celebrate, we’re heading to some gardens to see some pretty flowers. Which we do most days. Clearly, we’re living the rock and roll lifestyle.

Went for a tour around @universityofleeds.bsky.social today with my best friend, who is doing his PhD there. I’ve accepted a place with them starting October but part of me daren’t look into student finance or DSA because my results aren’t back yet and I feel like it may all still be taken away. 🤷🏼♀️
