Reminder: The University is solely one part of knowledge-making. Discussing social justice among ourselves without engaging knowledge from outside academia comprises partially- manufactured knowledge.

🙌 Exciting new study from #Anatolia published by @compevohumang.bsky.social in @science.org today! Anthropologists have long argued that kinship and family do not need to be genetically oriented. The study from Çatalhöyük wonderfully highlights this point also for Neolithic in Anatolia. Congrats!

The climate and biodiversity costs to opening up roadless areas are astronomical. The roadless rule protects over half of Tongass National Forest, which is home to over 400 species of wildlife and stores more than 10% of the carbon accumulated by all national forests across the US.

#Spain, the only large EU member state with a centre-left government, has recently been in the headlines for rejecting the increased NATO spending target. But it also stands out for its liberal migration policy (much to the benefit of its economy) - and for increasing its development aid spending.

🚨In PNAS🚨 The right often accuses fact-checkers of political bias But we analyzed Community Notes on Musk's X and found posts flagged as "misleading" are 2.3x more likely to be written by Reps than Dems!

Impunity is spreading—Israel's actions, ICE operations, military force at borders, harm of protesters, suppression of science. This is outcome of electing leaders with criminal histories or remaining indifferent to their crimes. If we become inured, we set ourselves up for era of unchecked impunity.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Thanks for this article. I think there may be other scientists who are for conserving and restoring #ecosystems such as #wetlands but wary of coopting or engineering them for defense. #Militarization is already excluding people from borderland ecosystems through exclusion zones & other activities.
