Oh no. Jane Goodall has passed. Jane changed so many lives across so many species. The best remembrance is to keep fighting for the rights of all species and to center care in all relations. Plus, do go and read her early work from Gombe, it's revolutionary.

Heading to Leiden for the "Making Meaning In Biology: From the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis to Biosemiotics" 5-day workshop/symposium. A great topic and line-up of folks and a cool city to have it in (where the tulip was introduced to western Europe, plus a 435 year-old botanical garden).

ah X...Jerry Coyne and the usual crowd are complaining about the Lancet review of my book, making all sorts of claims about the book, and at the same time admitting they have not read it. Reading is not the worst thing. Unless you don't really want to have a conversation.
