This is unbelievable! Kurt Wüthrich, an 84-year-old, Swiss, male scientist, who won the Nobel Prize in 2002 claims that "as a male scientist" he has "a feeling of discrimination." He said this during the 72nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on a panel that had four old, male…

You often hear that full siblings "share 50% of their DNA." But did you know this is actually the median and the range is pretty wide, roughly between 40–60%? journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a… isogg.org/wiki/Autosomal…

A Pulitzer & a Peabody!! What an unbelievable 2 days! This feels like undeniable proof that Indigenous stories matter & that we should support Indigenous people to tell them. We are so grateful to survivors who shared with us & hope this means more people will hear their voices.

Grrr. It's 2023, and can we please stop funding/commissioning/publishing human genetic association studies with cases <1,000 (on case/control) or <1,000 overall (quantitative traits) in humans. It is just not going to work well. We know this.

I dunno man, maybe treat them like a human? Listen to them, maybe? I haven’t spent years studying clinical psychology nor is my brain addled by benzos and cow, but I find this super easy, barely an inconvenience.

NOW: farmer Paul Francois speaking in front of #Bayer-Monsanto lobby office in Brussels. Succesfully sued #Monsanto for causing grave health damage from using #pesticide Lasso, but not getting damages compensated! Outrageous.

Let me be BRUTALLY clear. The next step for this movement, superbly reported on by @mjnblack, is CRISPR "enhancement" of human embryos. This will happen unless we face a stark reality: there is NO. UNMET. MEDICAL. NEED for embryo editing and thus ban it. businessinsider.com/pronatalism-el…

Wow, is my sweater REALLY that yellow? Like the blue slide background, tho - reinforces my (since Feb. 24) pro-Ukrainian color scheme! Slava Ukraini! (Too bad we can't enhance Putin's intelligence, tho I don't think his IQ is the main issue.)
