Behavioral biologist Dr. Victoria Braithwaite: the first person to demonstrate that fish feel pain. Her groundbreaking research impacted animal welfare research & changed guidelines for the treatment of fish in laboratories & fisheries in Europe, Canada & beyond. She died #OTD in 2019. #WomenInSTEM
Candid color photograph of British behavioral biologist Dr. Victoria A. Braithwaite (1967–2019), renowned for pioneering research proving fish feel pain, sitting inside a science laboratory. Captured from a slightly elevated angle, she sits angled right in a black office chair while turning her upper body and head toward the camera, exuding a warm and inviting presence. She wears a white lab coat open over a black-and-white striped turtleneck sweater and blue jeans. Her short, light brown hair frames a cheerful, smiling face. Behind her, shelves hold numerous glass jars filled with specimen liquids, while a desktop computer, microscope, and lab equipment clutter the desk. The composition positions her as the focal point against a backdrop of active scientific inquiry, conveying an intellectual and passionate mood. This photograph highlights her historic contributions to animal welfare, notably altering guidelines for treating fish in laboratories and fisheries.

Activism in SF targeted OpenAI's developer conference over its ICE and military contracts. AI must not be weaponized for surveillance or deportation. Technology needs strict public oversight and ethical boundaries, not unchecked corporate complicity in state violence. Hold tech accountable!

Text on the image reads "2026" and "The State of the World's Mangroves" alongside the Global Mangrove Alliance logo.Aerial view of a winding river snaking through a lush, vibrant green landscape of mangroves with patches of yellow foliage.

Senate Republicans just voted to BLOCK a report investigating the deaths of 9 Americans killed in the West Bank. They literally chose to cover up the slaughter of their own fellow citizens abroad to protect political allies. Absolute betrayal of American lives. Demand accountability & vote them OUT!

Square poster with a warm tropical setting. On the left, a photo of Ilis Trudie Palmer in white, seated outdoors in profile with long locks, surrounded by lush greenery. On the right, a reflective prose piece about standing before a mirror, noticing thinning gray hair, hearing a familiar ringing in the left ear, and thinking about aging, beauty, and spiritual signs. The piece ends with the insight that signs do not come when we anxiously wait for them, but when they are ready. Along the bottom is a row of five book covers by Ilis Trudie Palmer.
