Dear Albertans, This openly hostile attack on Nate Pike & the Breakdown should be unacceptable to each and every one of us. The participation of media (whether against/for any political party) is the cornerstone of democracy. This is pure censorship. #abpoli podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

The American Society for Microbiologists, unprompted as a non-govt agency, tore down its DEI pages for "review." @asm.org must disclose who issued that instruction and put their leadership under review and reverse course immediately. Embarrassed to have ever associated with ASM.

Sooooo if this whole "biological sex" EO is really happening, biologists are going to make as much noise about it as possible, right? Professional societies, universities, individual research groups? It's really incumbent on us (that's a "biologists us" here) to make a BIG FUCKING STINK

I'm begging journalists to stop using "decimation." Reducing by 10% is actually not that bad! Of course the dictionary bent to overwhelming misuse and added a definition that refers to elimination of a large portion, but it still doesn't sound right. Just say annihilation if that's what you mean
