86% of those who voted among the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars support this: "Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)".

staging a show-and-tell about a fake genocide during a real genocide to the government that has done the most to seek justice for that real genocide is designed to break our brains. They know what they are doing. www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/w...

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

The University of Haifa actively denies the ethnic cleansing being carried out by the State of Israel and censors *evidence* of it! Boycott the University of Haifa! www.haaretz.co.il/gallery/cine...

Mass starvation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide. That is what our government is enabling — and it should be eternally ashamed. End all arms sales to Israel now.

Happy to have a new piece in @science.org with my friend Lydia where we draw attention to the significance of animal material culture for understanding human technical evolution and why we should digitally preserve and protect primate tools and tool use sites. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

"from 1965 to 2020, nearly half the variation in publication trends among 293 North American male passerine & near-passerine birds was explained by 3 factors subject to human bias: aesthetic salience (visual appeal), range size (familiarity) & number of universities within ranges (accessibility)"

For decades the Jewsih people in Israel asked (themselves) and the world "how could the world stoodby while the Nazis genocide our people?". Now, many of the Jews in Israel are silent while the many other Jews of Israel slaughter the Palestinians. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

An 80 yr old Gazan was used as a human shield by the IDF, with an explosive belt hung from his neck. He was forced to clear homes in Beit Zeitoun. After 8 hrs soldiers forced him & his wife to leave, then shot both to death. www.ha-makom.co.il/1057919-2/

Well done!

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

The publishing industry has encouraged a cottage industry of torturing rats, mice, and rabbits with pointless skin wound experiments. Another disgusting contribution to a sizeable genre of fiction hosted by @tandfresearch.bsky.social pubpeer.com/publications...

RIP Julia Cissewski (1973-2025), Department Administrator of MPI-EVA's linguistics department (1998-2015). Every linguist who was at MPI-EVA during Bernard Comrie's tenure remembers her well (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sclp...). Julia is survived by her partner, linguist Greville Corbett.

Come to do very cool (fair and rigorous) research with us! And if not, sharing is caring... 🙏

Surely one of the greatest collective disappointments about research is taking so many amazing minds, wonderful people, and thoughtful thinkers and burdening them with 7532578 other things so they have no time to actually think(/create/write/etc)

Climate change researchers, when writing a paper would you report your findings in past or present simple times when analysing long-term data that ends in 2024? E.g. "we found that temperature has increased considerably" OR "we found that temperature increases considerably"

My latest blog post goes deeper into what Abby Desmond and I call 'fixels' - those bits of the environment that animals use like tools without actually picking anything up.
