By the way, that's why more normal geneticists don't want you to research the genetics of racial difference and the heritability of being convicted of sex crimes etc. It's not because we can't handle the truth or whatever; it's because the research would have zero implications for anything.

Deze bushokjesposter klopt.

Een bushokje op een straat die nat is van de regen. De poster in het bushokje heeft een roze achtergrond met sterretjes, bloemen en regenbogen erop. Er staat een foto van een breed lachende Elon Musk met daar boven in witte tekst: “If you have a trillion dollars in a world where children are starving, you’re not a visionary, you’re just a cunt.”

There are, in my view, 25 things everyone needs to understand in light of recent events: 1) Those out in our communities last night were not protestors, but organised far right extremists. 2) Their actions align with fascist ideologies. 3) So yes: these are fascist practices on our streets. 🧵

It may affect your eligibility window for starter and consolidator. Plenty of good proposals are getting a B, and a 2-year embargo is quite long. Also, many who thought they could submit again now and have to wait anpther year. But the ERC was clearly getting overwhelmed by the number of proposals
