I really enjoyed reading it, especially how you reflected on these responses. As someone who is planning to research with men, this is really useful work.

Congratulations! It's a great article. We looked at it in our reading group yesterday, where it created a lot of good discussion about research ethics, different practices in different countries, the meaning of 'design justice', and how we engage participants and coproduce well. Thank you.

This goes further than Section 28 ever did.

Compulsory outing of children to their parents.
Referral of children to medical interventions for straying outside the norm.

Those are threats being wielded against trans kids that weren't even in the demands of Section 28.

That link doesn't work for me, but good for Laura! She is always great on these issues.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

They probably have done zero succession planning.

He's already said that people born in the UK aren't British. A fair start, I think.

I think it was obvious that Labour would be elected, we watched the long slow death of the Tory government. So I don't think that's it.

Perhaps like a lot of the rest of us, he hoped that the new government would do a lot better than it has done.

Nah - he knew this would happen and wanted it to be done in public and not behind closed doors.

The idea of John McTernan criticising anyone else for being overly controlling!

She accepted Brianna was trans. When your child is hospitalised for anorexia, her suffering encouraged by pro-ana influencers, you can understand it. I feel a little like this about friends with ME. So much unrealised potential. It is what it is, but I wish it were different.

I don't think it's callous, I think if you consider MHP to be preventable and exacerbated by social media (and there's lots of evidence of this) then you're comparing it to the life you wanted for them and think they could have had. I read her book - she acknowledges it's entirely her perspective.

Is there a fundraiser?

I really wanted to see this but only the most expensive seats were left. Looking out for their tour.

What is the end game for ICE? Terrorize one city and move to the next?

How many "illegals" are they actually finding for all this effort?

Seems like we should be hearing about high numbers being found but we are not because that's not what this seems to be about.

When people like Danny Dorling and Grace Blakely are willing to review your book, you know you're doing all right 👍

Of course - they don't need to win more seats, they absolutely do need to keep the seats they've got.

This is the review of the stream that @precas-project.bsky.social sponsored on Expanded Carrier Screening: How Is It Used? What Are the Ethical Implications? at PET 2025. A lively, productive discussion to kick off a great event . Thanks @pet-bionews.bsky.social! www.progress.org.uk/expanded-car...

That is rich coming from a party which has deliberately and gleefully got rid of its left wing - you can't even tolerate disagreement within your own party never mind across the country as a whole. It is disgusting to see the LP criticise Farage then mimic what he does.

Final PET Fertility Policy Tracker of 2025

You always put on such great events but this year was especially good. Great debates on the evidence around PGT-A and PGT-P.

"Old ladies'" don't get pregnant Dr Chu! And women in their 40s are not 'old'. More precise language please.

Make sure you make time to visit the exhibition ‘Fertility Fortunes’ which is running throughout the conference. Say hello to Isabel and Anna who would love to chat to you about their work!
