And now we get to see the great whitewashing of Cofnas. As someone who strongly believes that Cofnas should keep his postdoc position, I agree that it's worth revisiting what he's actually argued. Let's take a look ... 1/

Dr Dawkins appears to be asking if we should resurrect a dead person here.

Also: this is the plot of Seventh Son by Sebastian Faulks.

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

Neanderthal genome is largely known. If it becomes possible to reconstruct a live Neanderthal person, what, in your opinion, would be the pros and cons? I’m genuinely interested in canvassing opinions for and against.

EXC: .@GoodwinMJ’s new book “Suicide of a Nation: Immigration, Islam, Identity” is out now, and I’m only 5 chapters in and have found a huge amount of what appears to be false quotes and basic misinterpretations of data, that appear to be AI hallucinations.

Matthew, can you explain the claims you made in the book that I’ve outlined in the below thread?

Never Let Me Go: a special screening at the Regents St Cinema + me in conversation for @ppfideas.bsky.social with David Runciman. 19th June, I love this book, and the film too. Science fiction done properly.

@TorquilMacneil @TimHarford I’ve never said either of these things

Hey all, I’m not posting in the Sunnydale Hellmouth anymore, but just popping in to say I started a substack, as I believe is a legal requirement for middle aged men. Warning: contains science, snark, light swearing. All free, for now.

I think we lost. What was the point in spending the last 30 years studying so that vacuous windbag and ignorant hams would influence and shape medicine. Good luck everyone.

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

I mean, could Morgan even describe what mRNA is? Could that walking dead man Bryan Johnson?

@charlesmurray I bet he’s heartbroken.

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

@MichaelRosenYes Joy of joy. The Quangle Wangle remains one of my favourite books, and I think I can still recite verbatim.

@LozzaFox You use your voice to showcase your ignorance, bigotry and failure as a decent member of society.

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

It will not.

Origin Story will no longer be posting here.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Andrew Wakefield wrote a small, scientifically worthless paper pretending vaccines had something to do with autism.

It turned out to be not just crap but actually fraudulent, for which he lost his medical licence.

He's one of the biggest villains in medical history.

And yet we know that blue skies research is more productive and the ROI higher than directed projects 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

As a taxpayer (irrespective of whether you’re a scientist) would you would be in favor of more of the @NIH budget going to fund efforts to solve specific diseases at the expense of basic exploratory research? Which diseases?

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

Boy kings, we gave power to morally bankrupt children, who steal our work, and rob for fun. Historian spoiler alert: it never ends well for these unelected despots.

no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want
