Jonathan Joss was MURDERED.

Words matter here.

He was MURDERED.

it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man.

Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Proud of San Luis Obispo!

I've loved seeing this almost daily and wondered if someone would post it!

Just how comically insecure in your masculinity do you need to be to do this, exactly?

Are there monuments to Homo floresiensis there?

Thanks so much for doing this! Forwarded it.

The protein #p53, known as the "guardian of the genome," plays a crucial role in preventing #cancer. When it malfunctions, tumors can form. Scientists are developing drugs to restore or mimic p53's function in cancer cells. A #biology researcher explains:

I immediately thought of Fluke when I saw the video! :)

Birds of Paradise Glow on Their Mating Parade (Gift Article) The always colorful males light up with biofluorescence, sending off signals.

As if Birds of Paradise weren't already flamboyantly fabulous enough what with their exaggerated plumage, bright colors, and fancy dance moves, it turns out they may even glow in the dark of the forest floor! Lovely to read this story of sexual selection's evolutionary excess on this #DarwinDay.

Is this what they used the Depeche Mode song for? I only heard it in the background. Really hoping it was not used for this!

Just heard it live two nights ago and it was spectacular!

HHMI kills program aimed at boosting inclusivity in STEM education “Inclusive excellence” program had committed $60 million to 104 institutions

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the nation’s largest private funder of biomedical research, yesterday killed a $60 million program aimed at making universities’ STEM education more inclusive. scim.ag/3EtS0US

Right?!

A medium shot depicts a pigeon facing the camera. Its face, neck, and wings exhibit a blue-gray plumage. A crown of feathers, reminiscent of a wedding veil, adorns its head. A ruby-red eye and similarly colored chest are prominent features. It had a grey beak. The background is softly blurred, showing green grass.

The Victorian Crowned Pigeon's elaborate crown likely evolved through sexual selection, with more pronounced crests enjoying greater mating success, resulting in the exaggerated feature observed today. 👑🕊️✨🇵🇬

Let's take over the Fisher Museum and dance under the heads.

Interpretive dance is the obvious choice, no?

From one of my favorite YouTubers @justalazygamer.bsky.social. I can't stomach watching content about this but sharing for others. I glanced at comments and agree that the trust is broken. Proud to be Canadian (and American, though we're horrible at voting).
