"Looking back, that season taught me lessons I’ll hold forever. I learned to ask for help without shame and lean on my support system of friends and classmates. Most importantly, I learned to keep sight of why I came here in the first place." #ScienceWorkingLife scim.ag/482ZV6L
🗓️NEXT WEEK - Come along to our #CPCCGWebinar @j_mikolai @StAndrewsSGSD will discuss the ChildLives project, which aims to understand trends, inequalities & consequences of family complexity in children's lives in Europe Register to join us #poptwitter: cpc.ac.uk/activities/ful…
gorcampbell Studies confirm a 50%+ surge in hate speech on X since Elon Musk's 2022 acquisition, with racist slurs up 42% (Berkeley/PLOS One 2025). Key reasons: reduced moderation, trust/safety team layoffs, reinstatement of banned accounts, and algorithms boosting engagement on controversial content. Report violations to help; diverse voices can counter it.
I see graphs and maps like this and can't help but think that a bigger crime than outright lying with statistics is what I call "abstract statistics": analyze and present data supposedly just for the sake of it, and let the reader freely interpret and imagine the context.
This map shows the second-largest religion in every European country. Islam leads in most, but not all.
The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond description, beyond atrocious & beyond inhumane. A policy of siege & starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately. This is a moment for moral clarity & action.
The municipalities with the lowest and highest average ages in Japan. Nagakute, Aichi (41.6 years old) Nanmoku, Gunma (69.3 years old)
Yet even if the survey methodologies had been sound, thankfully it is not statistics but warm bodies who will move a democracy — especially one as young and fragile as ours. Magandang gabi, Pilipinas!
Surveys got it wildly wrong for the first time in a long while — and what a sight to behold. Something tells me that traditional polling methods, which rely on household interviews, fail to capture the spatially mobile youth population, among other things.
ELECTION RESULTS ARE IN! Here are the partial and unofficial results for the 2025 senatorial elections as of 8:48 p.m. on Monday, May 12. #VotePH2025 • Follow INQUIRER.net’s election coverage at voteph.net.
We are not talking enough about the fact that this—together with the shutdown of numerous other aid and funding structures—constitutes a global humanitarian crisis in the making.
🚨 We deeply regret that the USA has announced its intention to deny future funding to UNFPA. See what this decision means for the millions of women and girls @UNFPA—the @UN sexual and reproductive health agency—serves around the world: unf.pa/hud #FundUNFPA

Did you get a chance to read the thread on our new @NatureHumBehav paper on SES yet? If not, don't worry, I have something better for you! Check out this comic by the amazing @Lizah_Aart The complete comic here: communities.springernature.com/posts/are-we-b… You can also scroll this thread 👇🏾
In every civilization, people end up sorted into levels of socio-economic status (SES). We explore the history, present, and future of scientific research on the complicated relationship between SES and DNA in @NatureHumBehav 💰🧬🎓 Link: rdcu.be/efacK Thread below 👇🏽
What exactly are Duterte's supporters trying to estimate with a 95% level of confidence and a 5% margin of error? The mean age of children killed in a one-sided war? The shooting accuracy of policemen and vigilantes who were rewarded for every dead body? sdafable.weebly.com/blog/the-stati…
Alina Schmitz @PatLazarevic & Marc Luy explore the relationship between SES and mortality among German Catholic monks and reveal surprising findings! Read here more: bit.ly/41V3Gcu @TU_Dortmund @oeaw @ASAMedSoc

BREAKING: Former Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte is arrested on an International Criminal Court warrant. apnews.com/article/rodrig…
@ElmaLaguna1 He could have framed this in a hundred ways, pero mukhang pinili nga po niya 'yung sensational for CNA's Singaporean readership 🙈
This article presented an opportunity for nuance, but its framing—that Singapore will lose nannies, and London's hospitals will be short-staffed—is an unabashedly orientalist gaze on a supposedly global demographic issue. channelnewsasia.com/commentary/phi…
"Maybe impostor syndrome wasn’t a sign of failure, but a sign of growth." This week's #ScienceWorkingLife. scim.ag/415zESX
1 out of every 30 people in the world is a migrant. People move for a variety of reasons: to seek a better life, to find safety, to reunite with family. No matter where they are from, no matter where they are going, the rights of migrants must be protected.
