We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

I love the snow, but sometimes it tells me stories about what drivers are up to that I honestly wish I didn’t know about. Like this one, where sometime today a driver apparently drove the wrong way down a 1 lane 1 way street, crossed a 2 way curb protected bikeway & sidewalk into someone’s yard. 🫠
