School history lessons minimise the role of women, report finds

Campaigners say key stage 3 curriculum plays to misogny and teaches a ‘false version of the past’ The role of women in history goes far beyond Elizabeth I or Anne Boleyn, according to a campaign that seeks to add more female lives and achievements to the curriculum taught in England’s schools. Research by the group End Sexism in Schools found that women were largely absent from history taught in key stage 3, the first three years of secondary education in England. Monarchs were among only a handful of women mentioned by name alongside the suffragettes Emmeline Pankhurst and Emily Davison. Continue reading...

I'm delighted to say that the issue of the @thebulletin.org magazine that my colleague Dan Drollette and I have been working on for months, all about tipping points, is out today. My introduction to the issue is here: thebulletin.org/premium/2025...

Introduction: (Almost) everything you wanted to know about tipping points, but were too afraid to ask

The evidence is mounting that vast changes are not only possible, but increasingly likely as the Earth warms. But how close the world is to crossing so-called “tipping points” is a matter of vigorous ...

We strongly denounce the Trump Administration’s latest round of NASA firings and office closures, which will undermine the agency’s ability to carry out its missions to advance scientific knowledge and benefit humanity.

NASA has closed its Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy, Office of the Chief Scientist, & DEIA branch of the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity, firing 23 people. "Reductions in force of entire offices will not help us get back to the Moon or to Mars." 🧪 🔭
