Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Chrysalis watch: Day 10!
Cooler temperatures have slowed the metabolic processes of the caterpillar as it undergoes its metamorphosis.
But today, we're starting to get darkening on the chrysalis cap! We've passed the halfway point, and within a few days, we'll transition to butterfly watch! 🦋

Amazing thread: every time we expand the range of what's possible for terrestrial extremophiles, the likelihood life exists elsewhere in the galaxy goes up for me.
So happy to announce our new preprint, “A geothermal amoeba sets a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes.” We cultured a novel amoeba from Lassen Volcanic NP (CA, USA) that divides at 63°C (145°F) 🔥 - a new record for euk growth!

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

What a genuinely outstanding book. First Tasmanians by Shayne Breen brings together so much research about the history of Aboriginal culture in #Tasmania, from resilience through the Ice Age, through thriving in a challenging environment, resistance to the genocide and recent revitalisation. 📖👏

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.
