Beautiful photographs illustrating a sad story: “We estimate the population at fewer than 20,000 individuals. Perhaps even fewer than 15,000. They are now critically endangered.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Absolute bombshell from @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social: Meta's internal research found that Instagram's algorithms preferentially displayed harmful content to vulnerable teens. I'm glad I left Instagram back when I did, even if it was for other reasons (their anti-LGBTQ policies).

I have been off social media for quite a while due to the passing of a near and dear person. Most things appear futile after such an event. That being said I have been very busy and I’ll tell you about it in posts to come. Looking forward to reconnecting ! 🥳

IAST’s Scientific Council played an important role in shaping its success. When IAST Director, I knew I could count of getting insightful feedback, based on interdisciplinary research elsewhere. For their time and dedication, I am deeply grateful thankful to Joel Mokyr and the other council members.
