Gabe is right:

Did the Cass Review disregard the evidence of all but 2 of 103 studies on puberty blockers & hormones to reach it’s conclusions? Yes and no.

I’d like to offer a brief breakdown of what they did & didn’t do & clear-up some misunderstandings.

I’ve seen critiques of the poor methodology and cherry-picking in The Bell Curve but I haven’t seen much about the absolutely deranged fever dream of predictions about the coming decades in its closing chapters. It has been 30 years, so let's review. 🧵:

framing these arguments as free speech issues is a way to distract us from the fact that his beliefs are completely unsupported by evidence and his continued dedication to them despite this is disqualifying for a role in research or teaching *on the merits*

Relieved to know that going off about the biological inferiority of Black people based on the work of white supremacist fraud academics has consequences thetimes.co.uk/article/61d7ad…

'Race realist' Cambridge philosopher who said Black people aren't smart enough to be academics. The defence of 'academic freedom' isn't available because this isn't an academic claim, it's just vile racism. thetimes.co.uk/article/61d7ad…

I would hope that Columbia Faculty see their admin arresting their own students for peaceful protest as a red line. These students are in our care. Our primary responsibility as academics is to nurture their minds and protect them from oppression. Faculty must walk out now.

New on forummag.com: @HannahGais tracks the origins of “anti-woke” rhetoric from contemporary alt-right figures like Richard Hanania all the way back to old enemies of racial equity like David Duke and Charles Murray. forummag.com/2024/04/16/the…

Republicans on SCOTUS wrote 26 pages of preening about 'major questions of national importance' (Kavanaugh, p. 5) to justify using an extraordinary procedure to reinstate an anti-trans law with no purpose except to prevent <1,000 minors in Idaho from receiving medical care.

I just wanted to check if that Cass report cites Ruuska et al. (2024), and it did twice. The paper is statistically nonsense because the authors 'control' using a variable that can't be reasonably seen as a confounder but a mediator, see thread.

Very happy to share our latest work from my postdoc with Lappalainen Lab on recalibrating gene expression changes relative to natural dosage variance: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The main focus of my PhD is now published in JXB! I had excellent mentors for this project -- including Drs. Rebecca Grumet and Amy Iezzoni. Thanks Robert VanBuren for coaching on the RNAseq analyses. I hope the work helps the tart cherry industry and future research MSU AgBioResearch

1. Much human genetic variation is phenotypically meaningless. Why? Cooperative genes are locked in a forever war w/ selfish genes. The cooperative genes have won most battles but now our genomes are littered with the dead & decaying bodies of a million selfish genes. 🧵
