The continued obsession with ivermectin largely from conservatives is concerning but also fascinating. Of all things to remain unwaveringly committed to related to health, it’s this? A case study in how disinformation can really take hold and distort perception and beliefs.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Been attending a dissertation writing retreat this week. Can’t say enough how important and useful a supportive work environment is to writing for 6 hours a day! Learning lots of tips and tricks to keep the word going to come out in the end with a fully drafted study 1!

I wish more journals distributed manuscripts for review with page and line numbers. It’s the least that could be done to ease the reviewer burden. And as an author, it’s so useful when the reviewer’s comments are linked to a specific section of my manuscript. Why isn’t this standard practice? 🤔

Okay I made a starter pack of trans and non-binary writers/journalists! Please share, and comment on this is you'd like to be added. I'm an editor at Xtra, an LGBTQ2S+ publication, and I'd love to be connected to more trans media workers here. go.bsky.app/3mWT6w2

I am SICK of reps like Nancy Mace who make it their entire mission to target trans ppl with absolute nonsense bills. Ppl should be able to use whatever bathroom they need to when they gotta go! Can we plz focus on actual issues facing this country! And where are the Dems who will stand w/ Sarah?!

Might be a good time to read up on the history of science & how it's fundamentally a social process (as it is carried out by humans) & how it's deeply intertwined with power relations. Decades of literature! Will be super helpful when having (yet another) debate about science and politics! 🧪⚕️🛟

Friendly neighborhood political scientist here to remind you that everything is political, including and sometimes especially science. In fact, claiming your vocation is apolitical is itself a political claim with a political goal.
