This courageous young #Jewish #Israeli #woman Sofia Orr was sentenced to twenty days in #prison for her refusal to serve in the #IDF.
Like her #peer #TalMitnick, Sofia is a real #rolemodel for #courage.
#Tory #peer says #trans #youth should be #discouraged from #transitioning ‘until their late twenties’.
Interesting, as this is after the #age that the #effects of #puberty are #permeant, and would subject the #trans #person to multiple #expensive #surgeries to overcome them.

#SuellaBraverman #calledout in #HouseofLords over ‘#migrants #pretend to be #gay’ #comments.
#LordMurray, #Conservative #peer, replied that the #government is “#committed” to an #asylum #system which “continues to #protect #individuals from #persecution”, including #LGBTQ+ #people.

Die gesamte Herausgeberschaft eines wissenschaftlichen Journals kündigt, weil der Verlag #Elsevier zu gierig ist. Wie eine Kollegin auf #Twitter richtig schreibt: "Die #Forschung szeit der Autoren wird vom Staat bezahlt, das #Peer-Review ist umsonst, aber der Artikel steht hinter einer #Paywall " Gleichzeitig gehen die Lizenzpreise durch die Decke: Elsevier hat so im Jahr 2019 mit 8.100 Beschäftigten satte 982 Mio Euro Umsatz gemacht, von denen über 37% Gewinn sind!
New (as yet unpublished) potential evidence that #SARS-#CoV-2 was found in #raccoon #dogs (canids) in the #Huanan #Market in late-2019. Specifically, viral and raccoon dog #DNA in #swabs presumably taken at the time from a stall known to house those animals.
Caveats:
-lots of DNA mixing together in a market.
-can the #provenance of the data be #verified?
- #zoonotic/#lab/market #origin are not #mutually #exclusive.
"Nobel and novice: Author prominence affects #peer review"
"More than 20% of the reviewers recommended “accept” when the Nobel laureate was shown as the author, but less than 2% did so when the research associate was shown."
