Delighted to announce that Kate Muir @katemuir and Maria Walsh MEP @mariawalshmep will be joining us for a roundtable discussion @uniofgalway about menopause on Friday 20th March. We will be talking about social and medical justice for women - and where that might lead. All welcome.

Great to see our colleague @drrichardhull.bsky.social cited in this substack article by Kate Muir katemuir.substack.com/p/is-downpla...

Is downplaying the benefits of HRT unethical?

There's a fresh push to edit the genes of human embryos to prevent diseases and enhance characteristics that parents value. Bioethicists say just because it's possible doesn't mean it should be done.

I admire Mo Salah's restraint. "Farewell". Really? Suleiman al-Obeid was killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food in Gaza. Say it, you cowards.

Wow, this is so powerful. Mandy Patinkin is outstanding. Watch till the end. Listen to the outrage, despair, and yes, fear, in his voice. That is the sound of a person with a conscience. All our voices should sound like this! *I had to screen record it from X. I couldn't find it anywhere else 🤷‍♀️

And just remember … these are the people negotiating with Vladimir Putin …. What could possibly go wrong?

Great scoop for The Atlantic and @JeffreyGoldberg … not so great for American war planning … “the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg.”

Looking forward to speaking at this event on Tuesday evening. The title of my talk is ‘What’s so funny about peace, love and understanding?’

Meet Evan Anzoo, a five-year-old boy in South Sudan who died when Elon Musk shut down USAID and the boy lost access to his HIV meds. Musk says no one has died because of the aid shutdown, but that's because he didn't look. RIP, Evan, you deserved better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The Labour Government have increased Defence spending - but at the cost of Overseas Direct Assistance - in the wake of USAID closure, this is a disaster for the world's poorest peoples.

Perhaps the first philosophy department to be flagging the issue of menopause? Menopause raises many ethical issues concerning, for example, inequality, discrimination, sexism, ageism and, not least, women’s health and wellbeing. Good to see that Philosophy in Galway is part of the conversation.

Trump on paper straws: "These things don't work, I've had them many times, and on occasion, they break, they explode. If something's hot, they don't last very long, like a matter of minutes, sometimes a matter of seconds. It's a ridiculous situation," Stupefyingly absurd.

The president has long been a critic of paper straws, which he says don't work and dissolve too easily.
