🚨 New @BBCRadio4 series! 🚨 @drjuliashaw & I, 10-pt series on some of the most unethical experiments in history, and their legacies - you will never look at eating toffees, using face cream, conversion therapy… #TheHumanSubject bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
Hey all, I’m not posting in the Sunnydale Hellmouth anymore, but just popping in to say I started a substack, as I believe is a legal requirement for middle aged men. Warning: contains science, snark, light swearing. All free, for now. open.substack.com/pub/arutherfor…
I find this so amusing. The opinions of children. He ‘killed woke’. And later his dad is going to beat up your dad.
After his first few days in office, it is looking more and more like Trump has killed woke. DEI, affirmative action, and gender ideology are under sustained assault with little resistance. The left have abandoned their trenches and are in full retreat. aporiamagazine.com/p/trump-killed…
It will not.
My lab in Beijing will become the world center of gene editing.
Andrew Wakefield wrote a small, scientifically worthless paper pretending vaccines had something to do with autism. It turned out to be not just crap but actually fraudulent, for which he lost his medical licence. He's one of the biggest villains in medical history.
And yet we know that blue skies research is more productive and the ROI higher than directed projects 🤷🏽♂️
As a taxpayer (irrespective of whether you’re a scientist) would you would be in favor of more of the @NIH budget going to fund efforts to solve specific diseases at the expense of basic exploratory research? Which diseases?
Boy kings, we gave power to morally bankrupt children, who steal our work, and rob for fun. Historian spoiler alert: it never ends well for these unelected despots.
no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want
I wonder what Jordan Peterson thinks of this compelled speech.
BREAKING: Donald Trump has directed employees at multiple federal agencies to remove pronouns from their email signatures by 5 PM today.
POTUS IQ fetishism now joined by Veep. Neither of them have the faintest clue what IQ is nor how it is measured.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: the problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of 130. This false arrogance drives so much elite failure over the last 40 years.
I’ll go one further: the repercussions for people without mRNA in them will be extreme, and they will be permanently excluded from civil society.
I think every human being should have mRNA in them
"The American right has no coherent message or ideology besides being against the left. It has no good answer to the major issue of our time, which is the question of lingering race disparities. We have almost no effective institutions. We control literally zero serious…
💥🕵️ NEW: Disgraced former government advisor Andrew Sabisky - who quit in a 2020 race science scandal - has built a hidden network of 60 Tory researchers, think tank staffers, and journalists to continue pushing politics in a more radical direction. investigations.hopenothate.org.uk/andrew-sabisky…
We are a country where historically and scientifically illiterate ideologues are elevated to power by nepotism, lickspittle and cronyism. The upwards failure of these men of ignorance is depressing.
Many congratulations to Lord Young of Acton and the Lord Biggar CBE, who were introduced to the House of Lords today. We all, at Catholics in the Conservative Party, wish them well and they are assured of our prayers.
Andrew Sabisky, recruited by Dominic Cummings, sacked for grim eugenics views, operating in the shadows, surrounded by scientifically illiterate ideologues, pulling strings and courting favour. Unravelling Westminster’s secret influence network investigations.hopenothate.org.uk/andrew-sabisky…
I am an ageing researcher and clinician, and I agree with you.
I’m a biologist. This guys is doing some really ill-conceived things that are genuinely dangerous, utterly quacky, and he shows little understanding of how science actually works. A screen grab of an obscure journal article is not science. My prediction is that he is going to…
I am no longer injecting my son's blood. I've upgraded to something else: total plasma exchange. Steps: 1. Take out all blood from body 2. Separate plasma from blood 3. Replace plasma with 5% albumin & IVIG Here's my bag of plasma. Who wants it? 🧵
