Removing a condom without your partners consent is called stealthing. In addition to the obvious risks (STIs & unwanted pregnancy), stealthing can lead to PTSD, mood or anxiety disorders. Survivors describe utter betrayal and fear it may happen again. 1/4 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

We made an open repository of close relationships measures. Our goal is to catalogue all of the published self-report measures in relationship science. You can help us expand the database by suggesting measures you tend to use in your research, or by uploading your own measures! relascale.com

RIP to an icon. I read Persepolis as a teen and it kickstarted a lifelong love affair with memoir comics. Her unique style and incredible narrative pacing was electric.

Studies w/ primate models are extremely difficult & expensive, and get questioned by folks squeamish about animal research the less those animals look like “disposable vermin”. But (incredible!!!) findings like this are why we need them - mice physiologies can differ in *critical* ways

Gendered behaviors depend on *cultural context*?! Hormones aren’t just on/off switches that universally orient to specific behaviors regardless of the environment, ontogeny, and socialization of the organism?! Shocking. This is my shocked face. 😱

This must be what it’s like to be a climate change researcher: in this kind of funding system many labs will shut down (or never get off the ground). Even if the money comes back there will be nowhere for it to *go*. It’s scary enough now - and the worst effects won’t be felt for years 😬

Seen this afternoon on a trail deep in the Appalachian woods: A House With Good Bones @tkingfisher.com

An abandoned wood house set back in the woods, visible through some trees. The house is weathered but in remarkably good shape for being clearly abandoned. In the window, sitting on the sill where the glass has broken in, are two enormous black vultures, watching the viewer with steely eyes. The scene has a sense of quiet eeriness.

Wonderful news for reproductive health. Even if infusions were only as good as oral tabs, this would be good: oral iron causes nausea (already a prob in pregnancy) and one-time infusions are much easier to roll out & track than daily pill use. So infusions having *better* outcomes? 🤩
