Chlo

Ma candidature est un acte d'amour pour la France.

Parce qu’on ne peut pas aimer son pays et accepter qu’il s’abîme ainsi.

Je suis écologiste mais je suis aussi une maman, et je me battrai de toutes mes forces pour nos enfants et nos petits-enfants.

Haha trop bien ! Oui faut que je me remette sur ce projet :-) j'ai de belles données mais pas le temps de les exploiter ^^. !
Là on espère publier qqchose dans la fin de l'année qui va aussi faire avancer la connaissance du développement de l'ovaire un peu plus ! Et Aurore et le petit vont bien ?

Haha quelle star :-P, sur l'histoire WT1 ?
Un peu fatiguée de la région, mais le boulot est toujours aussi excitant :-)

As a biologist, sex determination researcher and MtF

May be the problem is not in biological sex, not in hormones, not in gender but in the way we worship a type of performance that is so much associated - at such levels of training - to some phenotypical traits. Maybe the problem is in the way high level sport competition work...

And we should also check for developmental differences that would favour taller height, longer legs, hands, feet for swimming, running, jumping... And growth hormones exposure... ?

And to go further, to be rigorous, we should test ALL athletes (M&F) for let's say 10 years, including puberty period - when most hormonal associated changes occur - to see if their hormonal levels AND their hormonal response levels were within specific ranges. Because some might be favoured...

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

Every TERF is like 'birds and bees, it's easy, folks' and (almost) every scientist actually working on questions of sex is like 'oof guys, what can I tell you, I have been working on this question for 52 years, and frankly, I know less and less every year' theconversation.com/world-athlet...

Coucouuu !!
Comment ça va ?? Los daronistos ^^

Dans les heures qui viennent, l’institution Judiciaire et la séparation des pouvoirs qui comptent parmi les principes fondamentaux qui caractérisent un État de Droits vont être encore plus violemment attaqué par celles et ceux qui les ont toujours combattu: l’extreme-Droite #LePen

La déferlante des fake news sexuelles : non, le « gland de lait » n’existe pas ! Mythes contraceptifs trompeurs, théories complotistes sur la transidentité… l’intimité est en proie à des discours de désinformation d’autant plus épineux à déminer auprès des ados que l’éducation sexuelle en milieu scolaire manque de moyens. Et que son programme est lui-même cible d’intox.

“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed

A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.

Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed | Judith Butler Those who celebrate his defiance and sadism are as claimed by his logic as those who are paralyzed with outrage

Judith Butler's clear-eyed call to everyone: moral leadership in the face of the authoritarian power grab

Really really good

📢 Dear colleagues working on #malereproduction #reproductivesciences #andrology #germcells don't forget to register to the upcoming ETW meeting #ETW2025 and it's pre meeting organised by @youngandrology.bsky.social
Both meetings are highly recommended for researchers of the field!

Trump said sex is determined at conception, and I see lots of queer people jumping to say this means everyone's female.

I'm going to explain why it's scientifically unaccurate, and how this misconception lies on misogynistic ground.

The −KTS splice variant of WT1 is essential for ovarian determination in mice The −KTS splice variant of WT1 has a dual function in mediating gonadal sex determination.

Thanks for this super thread :-)
And also we are actively looking for determinants of the ovarian pathway! The most recent update is about the +&-Kts isoforms of the Wt1 gene ! Check it out here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
