Just talked to a friend who works for the DoE and had 2 papers censored for violating an EO. One because it uses “toxicity” (about chemical leakage into drinking wells) & the other for “diversity” (as in “microbial diversity”). We are at Soviet-level stupidity censorship.

This week in my undergrad (pre-health, neuro) course we are meant to discuss healthcare disparities. Seems especially relevant given all the things. Making some updates to slides and wondering if anyone has any good resources? #AcademicSky

#CanSky - As a scientist I know how disruptive gaps of support can be for ongoing trials, including cancer trials and as a two-time cancer survivor myself I know how imperative continued progress in research is - our lives depend on it. If you are concerned please contact your representatives.

When my daughter came out to me, she asked if being gay was “natural.” A classmate suggested otherwise… As a professor of animal behavior, I shared 2k+ examples from the animal kingdom! Those became a book, & today it’s still #1 top release and #3 best seller. #LoveWins #WildPride ❤️🏳️‍🌈 a.co/d/947x66x

Really loved how the vivid examples brought this piece to life! And important discussion around practical challenges for elementary educators too. From @lrj417.bsky.social at @the74.bsky.social:
