Despite the fact that 22 Member States have banned force-feeding for foie gras, millions of ducks and geese are still being subjected to this horrible practice in the EU. Why? Because - shockingly - there still isn't an EU-wide ban! 🚨

This gets to something profound: both positive and negative (null) information are valuable for scientific progress, but our story-telling minds value positive information more, and this carries over to the kind of heroic narratives we tell about scientists.

Sophia Hepple starting strong with messages about blind spots in how we treat animals.
