📣 Study Recruitment 📣 My dissertation student is recruiting women for an MSc Study - fluid intelligence, aggression & psychopathy. Links below ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Who would’ve thought that scientists would need to gather and discuss this in 2025… but here we are. Listening to the opening by @lewan.bsky.social
of this very important workshop.

I am without words 😶

I’m absolutely speechless 😶

In 2003, the year in which #Pepfar was launched, I moved to Kenya to head up a Pepfar-funded media project. Here’s why I believe #Trump2025's policies for such projects are killing more than #HIV programmes - and why waivers won't fix the damage already done. bhekisisa.org/opinion/2025...

Panic reigns, details remain sketchy over Donald Trump's freeze of HIV/AIDS support US President Trump recently announced a freeze on the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief, also known as PEPFAR.

The panic that #Trump2025's has caused in the #HIV world is devastating. Decisions fueled by prejudice instead of evidence, are a recipe for the spread of disease - and destroying lives and economies. Always great to speak to SA's Radio 702's Bongani Bingwa.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out.
