I was in a meeting where the Dean said, as they’ve said before, “we’re going to have to do more with less” and I replied “or maybe we just do less with less” and the room got really quiet. I think about that sometimes.

I personally would not have posted this video. But as a widow myself, I give all the grace in the world to this grieving woman. Grief messes with you in profound ways, and I can’t imagine having to go through it under the circumstances she is in.

Folks focus on the lack of action of Democrats, but the utter spinelessness of Republicans is even more grotesque.

The fall of democracy in the US.

FYI - This is NOT rescinding the funding freeze, just rescinding the memo itself. The funding freeze is still in full effect. What a mess.

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Cis-male faculty at Canadian Universities, have you ever called out sexism witnessed by colleagues in real time? Willing to share anecdotes about the context even if you can’t share names? Working on a story about gender equity for @UA_magazine. Please reach out and RT!

It’s wild to me that people think a gun would have made this situation better. It was scary, but nobody got hurt. If a gun was involved one of those two men, or both, might be dead. Real life isn’t a staged movie set.

Hear me out. Europe wants to stop buying oil from Russia. Canada wants to stop selling oil to the US. …

So, five years ago my husband died. This is what my teen (lovingly) got her new stepdad. 😂

Ok, except calling women’s ability to say no to men a “power dynamic difference” is peak incel.

*** Breast-reduction surgeries on children are almost entirely (97%) on non-trans males.*** But no outrage about all of those non-trans males who didn't want breasts. Because it isn't about 'saving our youth' from gender surgeries, it's about rage farming. https://t.co/YXc9RqImEx

For the first time since WWII, every governing party facing election in a developed country this year lost vote share, via @jburnmurdoch 2024 Democrats are the red dot. Absolutely critical context to any postmortem.

Sexual selection at work.

Amazing work led by @JoshIsaacson and @matthewberg22!

The uterus. Tight fit. Doesn't look like there's room for the government in there.

Speciation folks! Registration for the Gordon Conference on Speciation is now open. Held in Ventura, CA. Spread the word! https://t.co/Up22x0rxmV

New publication! While making proteins wrong is generally bad, in females it extends lifespan! Amazing work by @JoshIsaacson, @matthewberg22, Jessie Jagiello, Will Yeung, Brendan Charles, Judit Villen and Chris Brandl! https://t.co/jQB5ViVwRh

“I accept you without revisions”

This is what happens when you don’t think about the big picture of what makes the graph. Teen pregnancy declined by 18% from 2008-2010. The ‘decline in fertility’ is driven almost entirely by a decline in teen pregnancies. It’s not a bad thing.

These 1950’s dinner parties were women’s labor. Usually without acknowledgement of the extraordinary work involved. Nothing is stopping people from choosing to put in the work to do them if they wanted to. But what they want is women to do it and they just show up.
