The Guardian view on metal detecting: hobbyists as well as experts can play a part in unearthing the past | Editorial Editorial: Detectorists and archaeologists sometimes clash, but the recent find of two Roman swords was the thrilling result of collaboration

Another day, another article in the press on metal-detecting that makes zero mention of the PAS or the Treasure Act. Seriously, why are we bothering? #ancientbluesky

Edinburgh University returns indigenous Ainu skulls to Japan Three skulls donated to the university by a Scottish doctor in 1913 have been returned to Hokkaido.

Three skulls from Japan that were given to Edinburgh Univ in 1913 have been returned to the indigenous community where they originated.

The remains of the Ainu people - donated by Scottish anthropologist Dr Neil Gordon Munro - were held in the univ's anatomy museum. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

When will Starmer learn that no matter how good his Nigel Farage impression gets, it won't save him from wipeout at the hands of Reform? Here's another idea - how about doing the work that's needed to actually make people's lives better? 🧵

Big Dragon

Genuinely yesterday someone I'm working with told me they heard that scientists are covering up the fact some dinosaur fossils were actually dragons

Are you a qualified scientist or medical expert? Please sign* this letter in support of trans & non-binary people.

It is clear that sex is not a binary. As any qualified professional is aware, sex is a continuum or spectrum. We must stand up to dangerous pseudoscience.
