More than 100K women believed to have had mesh implants (manufactured by Bard, Boston Scientific and Johnson and Johnson) - many were left in permanent pain after the surgery to treat incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.

BeeCycling has movedCorporations want you to think "red tape" is a bunch of arbitrary rules to frustrate business. But most of it is regulations that protect people. That make water, food, drugs and buildings safe. That protect you in your workplace and your children in their school. That make sure your home is safe, your car is safe, the plane you take is safe. That when you try to evacuate a burning building, there is a fire exit and it's not locked.

"We are deeply concerned about a range of recent US Executive Orders that collectively have the potential to dismantle the US scientific enterprise as it has existed for the past 70 years…We will not approve changes to terminology or removal of data that compromise the scientific accuracy of content. Requests to remove legitimate authors from manuscripts violate our authorship policies which are grounded in principles of credit, accountability and transparency…We are actively working to understand the evolving implications of these directives and the disruption they have brought…We remain dedicated to the advancement of #OpenScience."

Mastodon MigrationSo, @micahflee has a great piece about how authors should leave Substack because it is "brologarchy garbage" and more expensive than alternative Ghost.
And, got to wondering if authors knew how many potential subscribers they were losing by publishing on the much hated platform.
Here are the results of yesterday's poll on the subject. 81% of 472 people said they would never subscribe to someone's #Substack even if they really wanted to subscribe to their newsletter.
Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost
A lot of us know by now that Substack has a Nazi problem. It not only profits from fascist voices, it actively promotes their work and recruits them. And it's funded by Silicon Valley anti-democracy billionaires like Marc Andreesen — the same type of people who are, right now, raiding the US government to basically cut funding for social services and scientific research, and to steal money for themselves.

Amy Diehl, Ph.D.Study (N=462) finds even though girls and boys performed equally on a task, girls didn't believe they had done as well as boys. Boys overestimated their competence (relative to girls & reality) & negotiated for a larger reward than the girls.

Jeff JarvisFascism as a feature, not a bug. As ever, the #BrokenTimes writes from Trump's perspective, not citizens'. "Defying legal limits" is, AKA, breaking laws. "Sweeping presidential authority" is, AKA, totalitarianism. "Adherents of sweeping presidential authority" is, AKA, fascism.
Carrie ShanafeltOne of my independent study students (in a group of four) has said a few times, "This is the only class I've ever had that feels like what I thought college was supposed to be like."
It keeps ringing in my head because it's something I hear from professors all the time, that the thing we're doing doesn't often feel like the thing we thought being a professor would feel like, which we all suspect of being the usual case somewhere else. 1/5
