We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Greatest achievement of my life. #framed Framed #1337 🎥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ framed.wtf

Dogs and technology conspiring to so no work can get done today.

Thank you Coop for taking 90+ minutes of my day.

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Monstrous. news.sky.com/story/tens-o...

Can you imagine TDs scrambling to change the Constitution or commentators hand-wringing in the media if it was leftists who behaved the way the spoiled vote crew did, in the same (minority) numbers, after several bigoted riots. Not so much forced to pander to them as willingly taking a running leap.

Join us on 31st October to celebrate Día de los Muertos with some #ancientDNA from Mexico! Two very exciting talks on 🦣 and 🪴, by Federico Sánchez-Quinto and Marcela Sandoval-Velasco of LIIGH UNAM. Note the later 3pm London time! #aDNA @aarc-community.bsky.social

Thrilled to have just put the word "ecclesiastical" into a manuscript draft 😍

Not quite #aDNA but a must read article.

I have a good team.

Interested in giving a talk at PAG 2026 in the Wildlife Genomics, Comparative Genomics of Animals, OneHealth, Ancient DNA, or Domestication Genomics sessions? We are extending our abstract submission by a few days. We'd love to hear from you! Submit here and please repost! forms.gle/q7j275Di6umY...

Listening to the Phantom Thread OST just to feel something.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Let's go mad for mutualism! Join @aarc-community.bsky.social for a very exciting event on December 5th 2-4pm London time, were Yvette Running Horse Collin and Rob Dunn will discuss the science of interspecies relationships (featuring some 🐎 #aDNA). QR code -> sign up for our seminar mailing list!

🏺🧪 Potentially for any zooarchaeologists out there!

The Animal #aDNA Research Community is looking for new members to its steering committee! If you are an ECR and interested in the field, we would love to have you on board. We particularly would value committee representation from outside of Europe. @aarc-community.bsky.social

My fantastic colleagues in Young Academy Ireland (Patrick Bresnihan, Sarah Carol, Maeve O'Rourke, and Niamh Wycherly) have led a report stemming from the "Science in Conflict Zones" roundtable event earlier this year. Could not be more vital and timely. @yai.ie @ria.ie www.ria.ie/assets/uploa...

Very happy to see our pre-print on ancient Irish goat genetics on bioRxiv #aDNA #spiergorm I want to acknowledge this was only possible through the work of the late Dr. Judith Findlater, along with Prof. Eileen Murphy at @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social.

The response from the Minister's representative at yesterday's meeting in Leinster House was shocking. It's very clear that this government is not taking road safety seriously and people will die as a result. www.fm104.ie/news/fm104-n...

This is an utterly appalling statement for a government representative in a democratic republic to make. It’s the sort of stuff you’d expect from a dictatorship. “Regrettable” - I can’t think of a more apt word than “evil” to describe that statement.

Now with a fixed flyer!

#PhyKIT update! v2.1.2 9 functions have been #optimized 🏃💨 Speed ups range from 1.34 - 17.9x faster!💥 Many thanks to #Codex for the helping hand👋😄

Just had a scone and feel great x

Medical science: humanity's greatest gift to itself.

I will be recruiting two PhDs for my ERC Project HERDPATH - let's discover out how livestock and pathogens evolved together using #aDNA. Projects will be animal or pathogen focused but will be in dialogue. Details at my quaint website below. Deadline 3rd October. kevingdaly.github.io

Tower of Llyod represent on #traitorsIRL This is #meath content.

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

Join us @aarc-community.bsky.social this Friday 26 Sep. 2pm GMT/3pm CET/9am ET for new exciting research on butterflies and ferrets! Get the Zoom link by joining our Element channel tinyurl.com/2upt6e7s OR our mailing list! tinyurl.com/3rm7s2aj This seminar is sponsored by @arborbio.bsky.social 🧬

Tens of thousands forced to flee once more a day after the UN genocide report pointed to civilians, including children - even toddlers - being shot in the head by snipers while evacuating.

I have funding for a 2-year dry-lab postdoc to join our team @humanevouu.bsky.social 🧪 (Deadline Oct 21st) The project will utilize modern and #aDNA data from humans and sheep to study environmental adaptation (including method development and simulations). Please share! www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

Open postdoc position in in my lab in Berlin @mpiib-berlin.mpg.de. Join us to push the frontier in ancient microbial genomics. Please apply until Oct 17th. Reach out in case you have any questions. www.mpiib-berlin.mpg.de/2193291/job_...

This counts as #meath content and possibly the first time Cortown has been mentioned on Bluesky.

A small thing but this is probably the only point in my career my extended family will half know what I do (thanks to the Meath Chronicle).

I can tell you, I like other LGBTQ folk live a happier and healthier life thanks to the decline of Catholic influence in society. But of course, the re-sharing is what the IT wants from bait like this.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Please send out your thoughts and prayers (another day without an episode of #TraitorsIRL)

Genuine question - did our Taoiseach post anything similar when Melissa Hortman, an actual US elected official, was assassinated a few months ago?

Inspiring day at the @yai.ie ‘s “evidence for policy summit” with a big focus on how early career researchers fit into the system across the island, with a focus on sustainability and a fair and inclusive society. Big thanks to Johnathan Dalzell from DAERA coming down from NI.
