@AedmarSkyjarn @MNuri39 @whatever The study shows autism risk rises with paternal age (~2× higher at 50+ vs <30). Fitness at 40 doesn’t change sperm mutation rates. Absolute risk is still low, but it’s not “nothing” and the rant about “sluts” is just misogyny, not science.

Poverty can easily be hidden in remote and rural areas. Knowing who is missing out on services and entitlements is an important 1st step, and an area that is progressing fast thanks to local innovation #ChallengePoverty @improvserv @scotborders @COSLA @COSLA_CYP @PovertyAlliance

On day2 of #ChallengePovertyWeek we draw attention to inequalities in transport access,an issue that intensifies for women living in the Highlands&islands. We need a Scotland with strong &reliable transport links that account for caring trips so we can all get where we need to go

[Ruth Boyle @ruthboyler]

Kicking off day 2 of #CPW24 with our breakfast briefing on transport. @msingerhobbs of @IPPR talks through their report on promoting fair transport in rural Scotland. Transport challenges people living on low-incomes face are often exacerbated for people in rural areas.

[Challenge Poverty Week @CPW_Scotland]

It's Day 2 of #CPW24 and today's focus is transport 🚌
It's not right that a lack of accessible transport can stop people being able to work, be educated, or to socialise. We are calling for action to be taken to ensure everyone can get to where they need to go. #ChallengePoverty

[Hanna McCulloch @hanna_mcculloch]

Transport can be a particular barrier in remote and rural areas. #ChallengePoverty week is a chance to highlight what is being done locally to build solutions https://t.co/8SY3NkD1In @OrkneyCouncil @MorayCouncil @argyllandbute @improvserv @AngusCouncil @ShetIslandsCll
