Are you a GP? Do you know how to support trans patients?
We're hosting a free, online webinar for healthcare professionals to learn about supporting trans patients in primary care.
If you're a trans person and feel that your GP would benefit from this, please share it with them or your local practise.
Supported by Closed Captions, BSL interpreter available on request, just let us know on the form.
Registration closes 8th June: https://tinyurl.com/primarycaretranswebinar

Researchers using #JWST were able to catch an enormous water plume from Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. The plume is more than 20 times the size of the moon. Enceladus orbits Saturn every 33 hours, spraying water and leaving behind a torus—or “donut”—of material in its wake.
So movie aliens, if you’re considering invading Earth to steal our precious water, I would suggest taking a detour to Saturn 😉

just a single instance user here. What i wanted to say is that. in my humble opinion, unlike other people in the thread, i “do think” that a decentralized network indirectly, also help to achieve a better moderation, meaning a moderation that suits the end user. Different public squares will for sure have different opinions on what is acceptable,
If you have the big, central, unique, legacy, social network, there’s only a single point of view that matter and can change in time.

Check out our new preprint to learn about 11 strategies that you can use to make reproducible research & open science training the norm at research institutions: https://osf.io/kcvra/.
Go beyond teaching dedicated courses and think creatively about things you can do as a researcher, instructor, supervisor, mentor, member of a curriculum or hiring & evaluation committee, research support staff or institutional leader.
We provide tips, examples and links to resources to help you get started.

@kathhayhoe @DrWendyRocks I've been trying to say this for years. But, of course, just like so many in the #mentalhealth community have been trying to tell (bad) psychiatrists for years and years now, decades, this has all fallen on deaf ears. Bayard Rustin once said the last great fight for #civilrights will be for #LGBT. I have to wonder if he was wrong; if instead the last great fight for #equalrights will be for those with a #MentalIllness.
This does make some sense, I have heard about white holes, which are the opposite of black holes as they allow matter to be ejected in to space, This seems to tie in with the suggestion in the article that if you could pass through you cannot get back again. However in relation to this
"Scientists have already said that all matter inside a black hole is destroyed, "
I got the impression matter can't be created or destroyed, it is interchangeable with energy. In which case could it be that matter is drawn in to a black hole, somehow converted in to energy then ejected from a white hole,
So purely on a speculative idea
So how do we find these white holes, perhaps we have already found them as we can detect things like gamma ray bursts or neutrino emissions but can't explain them, perhaps these are related to white holes and we are observing the release of energy in to space as these or similar phenomenon
Physicists suggest that black holes could have an exit to other places in the universe

Fantastic interview with the Artemis astronauts on The Late Show. Just space geeks hanging out, love it.
Great atmosphere! Ironically enough.

Only on Assigned Media:
In Wyoming, six cisgender girls are attempting to sue their sorority to force out Artemis Langford, and trans girl who was admitted last October.
Statements of support for Langford have been all but nonexistent in the media. I spoke with sorority members outside of Wyoming who shared their concerns about the young woman's wellebing, and their hope that Langford knows she is supported.

After 15 years of Twitter, Cambridge Analytica, and now new medical research finding kids can be negatively affected. I am still astonished at how easily so many seem willing to make the same mistakes all over again without ever asking "is any of this socially beneficial? Are we doing this wrong?"

A new episode of the #Wikimove #podcast came out earlier this month, focusing on #decentralization within the #Wikimedia movement
https://www.wikimedia.de/wikimove-site/podcast/episode-11-decentralization/
"Our guests explain where these concepts [of decentralization and subsidiarity] came from, and why they are central to the future governance model. We explore what decentralization could mean in practice for areas such as fundraising, software development and advocacy."
