If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Ötzi and a 45,000-year-old Siberian were both infected with a cancer-causing strain of HPV.
This is fascinating, and a reminder that we have a vaccine that *prevents cancer* and everyone eligible should get it.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Scientists in Japan made a plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours and biodegrades in dirt in 10 days.
It’s made from food additives, releases nutrients like plant vitamins, and doesn’t leave microplastics.

Mija rok od przyjęcia prawa odbudowy przyrody. Polska nie zrobiła nic, żeby ochronić lasy i mokradła
Rok po przyjęciu Nature Restoration Law (NRL), któremu sprzeciwiał się polski rząd, nie wprowadzono żadnych rozwiązań, które pomogłyby odbudować siedliska, lepiej chronić lasy, rzeki czy mokradła. Naukowcy z Państwowej Rady Ochrony Przyrody apelują do rządu: to najwyższy czas na działanie!
