Rufus was the most ridiculously independent cat who spent more time outside than in. Since he went fully blind he lost all his confidence and turned himself into an inside cat. He took to a harness instantly and I’m so pleased I can help expand his world again 💙 #caturday

We’ve written to Wes Streeting today urging him not to abandon women’s health hubs: “to improve health outcomes we need a strategic, gendered approach to both women’s and men’s health. They are complementary, not antagonistic” Read more here: www.menshealthforum.org.uk/news/dont-ab...

I'm on the hunt for things to cover in Research Digest once again. If you're a UK-based psychologist and have published something nifty in the past 6 months or so, link me! I'd love to have a read.

A three-year old, his mother, and his grandmother were speaking Spanish while shopping in Milwaukee. They’re U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico but were taken by ICE. Once in detention, the mother was able to produce ID and birth certificates proving citizenship: www.telemundopr.com/programas/di...

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Here's an e-mail that just went out to NASA agency wide. 🔭
Letter reading, "Dear agency employees,
We are taking steps to close all agency DEIA offices and end all DEIA-related contracts 
in accordance with President Trump’s executive orders titled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive 
Orders and Actions.
These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in 
shameful discrimination. 
We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language. If you are aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies, please report all facts and circumstances to 
DEIAtruth@opm.gov within 10 days. 
There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information. However, 
failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Janet Petro"

Don’t be ashamed to mention it if you feel that you can’t manage. Talking will save lives. #InternationalMensDay
International mens Day 

Don't be ashamed to MENtion it,
If you feel that you can't MANage;
Please talk about your feelings
Rather than soldiering on and trying to silently cover the damage. 
Open up, don't MAN up,
Save each other and yourself; 
MEN are only huMANs too,
And need to be honest about their MENtal health.
