Another day, another one of those "free speech at universities is dead!" pieces that's just an excuse to go off on trans people for existing.

Love this - most people aren't racist or xenophobic, but you'd never know it from our right-wing media.

Grand Canyon was a β€˜Goldilocks zone’ for the evolution of early animals A treasure trove of exceptionally preserved early animals from more than half a billion years ago has been discovered in the Grand Canyon, one of the natural world’s most iconic sites.

I always love writing a fossil story. Be grateful that I didn't include a truly unsettling animation of something called a penis worm, which I will never un-see.

But yes, the anti-AC attitude here is utterly infuriating (she says after enjoying two comfortable weeks in Canada).

Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag Officers accused Laura Murton who also had a sign saying β€˜Free Gaza’ of supporting a proscribed organisation

This is abominable and everyone involved in the series of events which led to it, from the Home Office to the police, should be ashamed of themselves.

I met a new Cambridge fossil researcher yesterday, and for someone in my job, meeting a fossil researcher and talking to them about weird fossils for an hour is the best possible way to spend a day at work.

It is spectacular that here in the UK our society has become so miserly that we are genuinely talking about the possible arrival of people who literally saved the lives of tons of our literal brothers and sisters and uncles and aunts, as NATO soldiers in Afghanistan, in terms of it being a problem.
