Comic page from "My Evolution" created in collaboration with Science & Religion: Exploring the Spectrum at Birmingham University. The page features an image of William Blake's "Ancient of Days" reaching down with a large compass. The caption reads "In the beginning... I was a creationist. But my thoughts about origins changed..." Panels art shoes Adam & Eve as early hominids, and a cartoon of me as a teenager and present day (as of 2017 when I still had hair) "sharing the same brain."

Comic panel of me walking past a church and looking on at a seemingly happy family inside, a puff of my breath visible in the cold air.

Cover art of "My Evolution" comic about the research of the Science & Religion: Exploring the Spectrum project at Birmingham University. The illustration features a view of me from behind as I stare at a white tree (in the shape of the project logo) with a snake on one branch and an avian dinosaur on another.

I'm normally a pretty private person, but today marks a significant personal milestone where I have now lived for as long as a "non-Christian" as I had growing up a sincerely believing Christian into my 20s.

I've touched briefly on my experiences in some of my comics...

The Biology of the "Fertility Crisis"
YouTube video by Stated Casually The Biology of the "Fertility Crisis"

I'm sure you've heard about the so called "fertility crisis", but is it real? If so, how real and what's causing it?

Here it is from a biological view: youtu.be/uTtsBqy3U2k?...

Marjorie and Pence are fascinating characters, no? Not sure what to make of this.

FYI, I found a guy who worked with him. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago.

Scientific animation: protein production and folding
YouTube video by Spronk Studio Scientific animation: protein production and folding

youtu.be/2dV5s6v2v8Q?...

Does anyone know the person behind this animation? The YouTube channel says to contact them via spronk3d.com, but this website no longer exists.

I suspect Chris Spronk from Lithuania is the animator but I can't find his current contact info.

Can we really "do our own research"? Um... People are trying on twitter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy8w...

I think @jordancollver.bsky.social will like this.

Those eyes! Am I correct thinking that in other species, it's the two lower front ones that are huge? Here it's the ones that are usually on the top of head that became the main eyes?

Thanks.

To be clear, I wasn't trying to suggest you should do an attack article. That is needed too!

I'm not interested in promoting an attack piece. Where are normal people supposed to go to for clear information on health now that the CDC (which used to be the global standard for health recommendations) has gone sideways?

US healthcare is like a beautiful grocery store full of colorfully packaged items but most have no price tag, those that do are far lower than billed at the counter, and you never know if you're even allowed to buy anything until the cashier checks with your insurance "provider".

What went wrong?

πŸ˜‚ I mean, it doesn't need to RFK-bro friendly (I don't think any honest take here would be), so long as it's not insulting to fence sitters or people who lean lightly toward RFKjr.

Are you working on an in depth piece on this? If so (seriously thorough and from a neutral starting point) let me know when it's out and I'll promote it as far as possible through my channels.

I moved from Oregon 7 years ago but was recently summoned to Jury Duty there. I sent an email explaining and asked what my civic obligations are. I got a surprisingly friendly response:

"Thank you for this information. I’ve excused you from jury duty.

Have an awesome weekend!"

One for the #SciArt feed. Rik is too humble to admit it here, but he's the one who came up with the idea for this illustration! Looking forward to sharing more of these when the document is published.

I will be on CTV Montreal News tonight around 6:20PM to talk about the fact that we're reading fewer books and what it might mean for our critical thinking skills.
