Balanced and considered account of scientific racism in the evolutionary sciences and what academics can do to counter it:

Kevin Lala@kevinlala.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Our article "Impediments to countering racist pseudoscience" (with @gillianrbrown1.bsky.social, @kztwyman.bsky.social & Marc Feldman) is now published online. We describe five factors that contribute to the spread of racism and suggest strategies for countering them. doi.org/10.1017/ehs....

Calling all artists! 🧑‍🎨🎨 We are running a t-shirt design competition - craft some primate artwork and submit it to us by the 1st October.

A common type of ant in Europe breaks a fundamental rule in biology: its queens can produce male offspring that are a whole different species go.nature.com/4mOb5T9

‘Almost unimaginable’: these ants are different species but share a mother

Ant queens of one species clone ants of another to create hybrid workers that do their bidding.

Joe Harkness reveals how neurodiverse conservationists find their “superpowers” can make them uniquely effective at their job, with skills including lateral thinking, hyperfocus, memory skills and empathy, as well as having an aptitude for fieldwork. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘Intrinsically connected’: how human neurodiversity could help save nature

Biodiversity is linked to people’s diversity, and nature lends itself to people who are different, says author Joe Harkness

Insightful #psgbfieldskills2025 panel discussion with in-country researchers. First steps to community-based conservation? Build relationships first, arrive to learn not fix, be interested in others and their priorities, make friends, don't assume, show yourself as a person first, not a researcher.

It's a wrap! #psgbfieldskills2025 #zsl #asab has flown by! Day 3: ethics, logistics, permits and wildlife health via scenario-based learning (Matt Gardiner), inspiring panel discussions on community conservation (Praneetha Monipi) and collecting data at the human-primate interface (Kelly Sambucci) 👏

A fantastic Day 2 on #psgbfieldskills2025 #zsl workshop: vegetation and wildlife surveys @pintsizedprimate.bsky.social bioacoustics @wascherclaudia.bsky.social tracking, camera traps @lizallo.bsky.social and mental health in the field with Praneetha Monipi @primatesocietygb.bsky.social @asab.org

Why talk about LGBTQIA+Inclusion in the field? 45% of those participating in fieldwork have faced gender discrimination 👇 #psgbfieldskills2025 workshop @primatesocietygb.bsky.social @asab.org @zslscience.bsky.social @ljmuimpact.bsky.social @wascherclaudia.bsky.social

[COMMENTARY] Tools like drones & GPS apps allow local & indigenous communities to track deforestation & respond to territorial threats quickly. But these tools must be introduced with local realities and cultural wisdom in mind. ** The views expressed are author's, not necessarily Mongabay's.

Conservation tech without Indigenous knowledge and local context has limits (commentary)

Technology can be a powerful ally in conservation, but it’s not a silver bullet. Too often, tools like drones, GPS apps or satellite imagery are introduced as standalone solutions, disconnected from…

Great #outreach day with Manchester Grammar School for #ScienceDay talking to kids about being a #scientist. I begin by asking them to draw what they think a scientist looks like & it's always the same: ♂️ older, lab coat, glasses...which is why representation matters! #BreakStereotypes #LJMU #Impact
