Very good!
I asked a friend…
It’s genocide.
Doesn’t this reflect the high level of out-migration from parts of London because of the high cost of housing? Many primary schools are also closing.
Honored to be part of the team of writers behind the @unfpa.org State of the World Population 2025 report.
The real fertility crisis: The most consequential reproductive decision a person can make –when, whether and with whom to have a child– is being undermined by a set of barriers and obstacles

Tuberculosis still kills around 1.3 million people every year.
It was once a massive killer in Europe and the US, but not anymore. How did these countries manage to tackle it?

Every few years these pronatalist policies re-emerge (sort of like Godzilla) & every few years I say the same thing… #demography
I used it in the 1990s. It took a long time for the penny to drop.
Let’s hope the Head of Paid Service, Section 151 Officer, and Monitoring Officer are up to their jobs.
Are the DOGE team qualified accountants?
I haven’t listened to long wave for years, but one advantage it had was its long range… so accessing BBC in the near continent, or more importantly, the Shipping Forecast when at sea out of FM range.

Wonderful to receive this utterly beautiful 3D printed diorama of "Snow's map of cholera" by @alexselbyb.bsky.social. Exceptional attention to detail. Simply stunning. Dare I say better than the original! Thanks Alex.

A lad called Ryan told me he would vote Reform. In 5 minutes I learned he wanted to end homelessness, help poor families, and help vulnerable people get off drugs. Not a word about immigration. He just couldn't vote Labour after so may lies. My latest article in The Canary.
We had a little protest of UMN faculty and researchers to raise awareness of what this administration is doing to science and universities.
Apparently lots of students have no clue. We’ve gotta break through our information bubbles and get the word out to the youngins’.

Great theoretical work showing how cultural mechanisms related to birth spacing and cultural menopause influence demographic outcomes in a human population 💻👶
