Inspiring, brilliant, warm and brave. I wish she hadn’t had to be the last of those things. To honour the love and respect she inspired in others, we must keep her campaign going. She wanted to make sure other women don’t have to face what she went through. RIP x www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

I’m sorry to be banging on about reading in schools again but Estyn’s Chief Inspector was asked about how children in Wales should be taught to read and to say his answer was revealing would be an understatement. 👇🧵

Seeing lots of rubbish about vaccines causing autism again. Sigh. For those who don’t know that correlation does not imply causation, here’s the starting point for a couple of conspiracy theories. Knock yourself out. For more, see www.tylervigen.com/spurious-cor...

£ @colegau.cymru welcomes the pilot scheme for young people to pay only £1 bus fare. This shows Welsh Government’s recognition of the pressure on colleges in terms of transporting learners to college and to work placements. This is a positive move, and now we need to consider the detail in full 🚍

You don’t say? Unpaid internships give ANOTHER leg-up to kids whose parents can afford to support them. If we want social mobility in fields like politics, the Senedd, Parliament et al need to set up paid internship schemes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So sad to learn Baroness Jenny Randerson passed away last night. She was my politics mum, always there with advice and kindness when I was finding my feet in the Senedd. Warm, wise and empathetic, a wonderful mentor and friend. Thank you Jenny for everything. The world is a poorer place without you.

Autism research findings often send a chill down my spine. Stigma, discrimination, high unemployment, difficulty accessing healthcare, physical and mental health issues, early mortality, trauma. It’s not surprising those of us who are Autistic sometimes feel fearful and hopeless about the future.

Still pretty wild on the South Wales coast thanks to Darragh. Fence gone (as in don’t know where it is) and the garden is a bit trashed. But still have power and think the roof is ok. Scary night.
