Tragically, A child has died of measles in Texas. Cases of measles continue to grow in Texas & elsewhere in USA. Please seriously consider vaccinating your child with the MMR vaccine which is safe & effective. Outbreaks at this scale are NOT normal & is facilitated by high pptn of unvaccinated kids

This is a good thread. Indirect costs are a poor accounting tool, create perverse outcomes, and ignore economic realities. Ideally, they should be replaced. But rationally, with phase-in, and at a rate that allows research to thrive

Some activists believe that this or that scientific finding about the nature of sex will 'prove' trans people should be provided with dignity and certain rights. This is a severe misunderstanding of the connection between empirical findings and moral values jessesingal.substack.com/p/you-cant-p...

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The final episode of my Radio 4 series The Body Politic - on assisted dying - is at 11am this morning, and on BBC Sounds after. We step back to look at the case for assisted dying- and why there’s such strong opposition.
