Israel has destroyed the Kuwait Secondary School for Girls near the Indonesia Hospital in Gaza. The demolition was filmed by an Israeli engineering battalion, boasting about the destruction. I wonder if Albo will ask Herzog about this. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #GirlsEducation

New paper, Great news:
We have been saying for years that making the editorial board more diverse was needed
We now show that diverse team of editors makes for more diverse reviewers
More Inclusive=Better Science
Things are getting better on this❤️
besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
network showing more diverse connections over time for editors and reviewers cover of the paper with title and authors last paragraph of the abstract: Synthesis and applications. Our results show that editorial diversification is a practical lever for making peer review more inclusive and better aligned with the global distribution of ecological research. These changes make the publication process fairer and improve the quality and global impact of the papers published.

Everyone Wants Peace Until They Get Hit With The War Propaganda

Propaganda is very effective if you don’t know it’s happening to you. That’s why westerners are far more propagandized than the populations of nations with overtly authoritarian governments.

How do juvenile ravens find social groups?

We describe how juvenile common ravens, who have left their natal territories seeking to join non-breeder flocks, use space with respect to other birds, and discuss what this means for social integration.

Democrats spent more than a decade saying Trump is an evil fascist and then when he invades a sovereign country and abducts its leader all they've got to say is oh gosh I wish he'd been more polite about it, he shoulda asked Congress first. They're just Trump with a rainbow flag.
