Taps our article loudly in frustration: doi.org/10.1039/d1rp... The number of women and men scientists and how they are represented in text books is a serious issue!!!

This is very sad to hear, especially after I seem to remember @drclairemurray.com talking about this exact same problem at least five years ago. BBC News - Only one female scientist named in GCSEs, research finds www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

while I appreciate the intention here, I would insist that comparing ai systems with humans is a category error which rests on flawed and reductive understanding of human beings

The contrast between the number of media requests I got when rich people on a cruise were facing a deadly, but contained outbreak versus now that some of the poorest people in the world are facing a deadly and devastating epidemic is just so so stark and it just really annoys the hell out of me.

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

I live in Berlin, a city where public transport is (relatively) brilliant. But I don't have a public transport ticket. I don't need it. I jump on my (very ugly) bike and get pretty much anywhere I need to go. The doctors, the supermarket, the theatre, the park... It's an exhilarating freedom.

How did your bike enrich your life, fix your finances, or change your family's daily routine? ​A Stanford study showed stories are 22x more memorable than facts. If we want to get people out of cars, throwing emissions stats at them won't cut it. Humans need stories. Tell me yours. 👇

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

We're thrilled to announce the Ctrl-Z Award, a US$2,500 prize for researchers “who discover substantial errors in their published work and take meaningful steps to correct the scientific record." Covered by @nature.com today; read more here: centerforscientificintegrity.org/2026/03/10/a...

Keep calm and be transparent: advice from scientists who retracted their papers

Retractions correct the scientific record, but they have stigma attached to them. Some in the research community want that to change.

Thank you @drclairemurray.com and @jessamynfairfield.bsky.social and co-authors for this paper taking #scicomm to new places in society!

Claire Murray@drclairemurray.com · 8mo ago

We have a cool new paper out in @jscicom.bsky.social 🧪, where we combined climate change and comedy! @jessamynfairfield.bsky.social and Katy Schütte created an improv show that toured rural Irish communities. I evaluated the shows, and the results are in this new paper. 1/ doi.org/10.22323/157...

An illustration by the artist Ruth Graham, where the proportions of different elements are connected to their frequency as a response to the question: What have you appreciated about the outdoors recently?'. There is a very large bird in the foreground, along with some small flowers and insects. There are also some trees and roughly 20% of the image is water. The sun is also very large, and it has a smiley face. There is a medium size mountain in the middle left that has 'Things we appreciate in nature' written on it.
