Antifa expert at Rutgers University says he is moving to Spain because of death threats
An expert on anti-fascist groups who teaches at New Jersey’s flagship state university is moving his family overseas.
Are we great yet?
Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor and expert on anti-fascist groups, is fleeing to Spain with his family due to death threats that stem from a campaign by Turning Point USA and other conservative groups to get him fired, falsely labeling him as an antifa member.

Warum wir für den #Wissenschaftsjournalismus kämpfen müssen:
"Evidenzbasierte wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse verlieren zunehmend ihre Rolle als Leitprinzip, während Spekulationen auf der Grundlage von Geheimdienstberichten an Bedeutung gewinnen."

Eine dunkle Vermutung über Corona grassiert – und ist so ansteckend wie das Virus
Zunehmend berichten auch seriöse Medien über die sogenannte Laborthese. Demnach wurde der Erreger künstlich hergestellt. Was ist an der These dran?

Ein seriös recherchierter Artikel zur Laborthese von @theresluethi.bsky.social im schweizerischen Qualitätsjournalismus für "Das Magazin".
Absolut lesenswert und qualitativ unvergleichbar besser als was NZZ, NYT und ähnliche dazu fabrizierten.

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

The @nytimes.com has rarely felt as hopelessly out of its depth as in the past two days or so. There is still much I admire, many journalists I respect and trust, but on the Charlie Kirk assassination it simply hasn’t been very informative - not to mention some atrocious opinion “journalism”.

@zachhensel.bsky.social and I have a new paper on the origin of SARS-CoV-2! 🧪
There are a lot of reviews on the topic already, so we tried to do something different: characterize "lab leak" scenarios, and directly address those on SARS-CoV-2's furin cleavage site.▫️1/9

Climate crisis will increase frequency of lightning-sparked wildfires, study finds
These wildfires tend to burn in more remote areas and grow larger faster, posing a higher risk to public safety and health
The climate crisis will continue making lightning-sparked wildfires more frequent for decades to come — putting public health, forests, and communities at greater risk.
