Anyone brought their kids to conferences? Any conferences that have on-site childcare? Finally got data to present for next year, but I'll also have 3 x 3-and-under 🤪

I think that’s pretty disrespectful to female athletes. Anyway, we can see how this plays out. In the past all sex testing did was exclude cis-women from sports.

Connor Rogerson @doctorconnor.bsky.social · Mar 28

Why not? If one gender is being tested for sex, then why not the other? Trans-men exist too.

Connor Rogerson @doctorconnor.bsky.social · Mar 27

Has your job crashed? Is the server slow? Is your code crap? Who knows and just watch the bash cursor do its thing.

Connor Rogerson @doctorconnor.bsky.social · Mar 26

Also obviously no genetic sex testing for men, or testing for well-known metabolic mutations than confer advantages to elite athletes. Just chest-beating transphobia in action.

Connor Rogerson @doctorconnor.bsky.social · Mar 26

This is going to be such a disaster. Cis-women will be outed as trans for genetics they had no idea about. What then?

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

The best bit about changing institutions is not being able to copy your backup by plugging it into the computer for "security reasons", so you instead transfer it 4 times through two servers 🤷‍♂️
