Despite its significance, menopause remains substantially underrepresented in research and #SciPol agendas.

Cheers to friend and #SciComm client Maxwell Leung at Arizona State University (@leung-lab.bsky.social) and colleagues on this dazzlingly written #SciPol explainer discussing major gaps in U.S. cannabis policies monitoring and regulating for contaminants, quality assurance, and patient safety. 🧪
The disconnect between federal and state regulation of cannabis has far-reaching consequences, Symone T. Griffith, Marisa L. Kreider, & @leung-lab.bsky.social write—for the cannabis industry, product safety, scientific research, and the health and safety of patients. issues.org/coordinated-...
A Coordinated Approach to Cannabis Policy and Product Safety
The United States urgently needs a coordinated approach to regulating cannabis use that prioritizes product safety and patient well-being.

Cross posting this to alert colleagues in #scicomm #sts #envhums #scipol about alarming developments at the BBC Written Archive. So many fundamental studies in these areas have drawn on this resource; it would be disastrous to lose access to it.
For reasons, it would be v. helpful to have information from a broad range of academic and non-academic (incl. GLAM) users of the BBC Written Archives OTHER THAN historians, briefly on: 1) What you've used it for and 2) How the proposed changes would impact on your research.
Reposts welcomed.

In a powerful new article, Pandora Pound of @safermedicines.org uses sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s ideas on power and legitimacy to ask why animal experimentation still dominates academia—despite scientific advances and increasing external pressure for change.
