Newsrooms aren’t covering it, but you should know that an Australian direct action campaign is currently sustaining a blockade of the world’s biggest coal port. 3 days 170 arrests hundreds of kayaks thousands of protesters the biggest environmental protest in Australian history
We did it! Over 100 brave everyday people successfully blocked coal exports from the world's largest coal port, while thousands more gathered in support on the beach. Despite attempts to shut down our peaceful protest, we showed that people power can take on the coal industry.
Beginning to understand why so many Americans are obsessed with trans issues and panicking about being replaced. They think there are 21x more trans people, 27x more muslims, 15x more jews, 5x more asians, 3x more black people, and 2x more immigrants than there actually are.
Given the current political reality and the expansion of attacks on science, it is time for scientists to be more effective, forceful, and vociferous as their own political advocates. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
"The history of the land and the people that became Palestine and Palestinians did not begin with the history of Zionism, and their future—our future— will not be determined by it either." culanth.org/fieldsights/th…
"Beirut is about 180 miles from Gaza City. There is an impossible closeness to this estrangement—it feels suffocating. We share the same sky, the same sea, and the same land... Since 1948, we live and die apart." culanth.org/fieldsights/th…

Your research is still valuable even if you don't publish in the "top" academic journals.
The claims of scientific racism are narrow, baseless, and easily refuted by a wealth of genetic data. The @uk_biobank is a powerful resource towards the rectification of this misinformation, not toward its wrongful support. ukbiobank.ac.uk/learn-more-abo…
I'm disappointed by the direction taken by the @guardian today in their investigation of race science. One of the recurring claims race 'scientists' make is that the academic community conspires to suppress data and evidence that would support their case.
Scientific editorials cannot be a platform for racists to spread their hatred. @PNASNews , @CambridgeUP, @ElsevierConnect, @SpringerNature must react and withdraw all articles written by authors linked to the racist plot uncovered by The Guardian. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…
How does academia facilitate these political actors? Here's just a selection of journals which have recently published them: PNAS (National Academy of Sciences, US) Perspectives on Psychological Science (Sage) Evolutionary Psychology (Sage) Monash Bioethics Review (Springer) ...
Science is not apolitical, it would be naive to ignore the fallibility of its human context. To the global academic community (& journals!!!), let's do better. Dangerous misinformation such as this can never be called scientific at its core. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

Sequencing DNA is cheaper than ever, but the data set is mainly drawn from people with European ancestry, leaving Indigenous populations underrepresented in genetic research. undark.org/2024/10/02/gen…

In Genetic Data, Gaps That Affect Indigenous Communities
Precision medicine relies on genetic data that's lacking in Latin America — especially for Indigenous groups.
In case you didn't know, Nov. 5 is a big day ... Because that's when an expanded edition of The Craft of Science Writing drops, published by @UChicagoPress! Pre-order to save 30% with code: UCPNEW. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…
