Wonderful point! Learning #STEM is not just to be a scientist but for becoming an adult with problem-solving and critical thinking skills! ๐Ÿงช #science #education

Also, let biologists explain #biology instead of repeating this binary gender nonsense! Gender is not binary in humans. The determination of gender is not simply a matter of sexual chromosomes. Not even sex is binary in humans, there are more combinations than XX and XY. ๐Ÿงช #science #gender #sex

Why is testing #vaccines with placebos a bad idea? Here you have it explained in a thread (a rather colourful and funny one also, so no excuses: read the whole thing) ๐Ÿงช #science

Next Tuesday (6May) I'll be speaking at @palaeopercs.bsky.social about my research on bone morphology and the #3D methods I develop (or help develop)!

Yesterday, I spoke to a high school class about #anthropology, thanks to @skypeascientist.bsky.social! Many were interested in my "origin story" as a scientist. My advice is to share it with others: it may be the little they need to find the confidence to do #science! ๐Ÿงช

Many of us feel overwhelmed and powerless at times, we feel like what we do is inconspicuous in the grand picture of the world. I suggest reading this thread ๐Ÿ‘‡ for you to recall it when you feel that way. "You're not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop"!

You know what's even more noble? To acknowledge a mistake and honour the memory of the person whose skull was used without consent. ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ’€ #BioAnth #Archaeology #ethics #STEM

Today, the 25th of April, in Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น we celebrate the #Liberation from NaziFascism. We celebrate to remember the people of the resistance, we celebrate to remember that we kicked fascists' asses once and we can do it again.
