My new song, 'girl', is out now. It's an electropop song about misogyny as told by a disillusioned old woman, partly inspired by @oneilllo's book ONLY EVER YOURS. Happy Halloween!

It was great working with @FerVillanea, @frizzyroselle and @emiliahsc to bring this project to fruition! (6/6)

I’m excited to share our new preprint, “On the Apportionment of Archaic Human Diversity”, which compares archaic ancestry in Eurasians and South Asians at the individual and population level. https://t.co/KbrEpnvFWH (1/6)

@AbuRightHere1 @greendoondoon @shakiraIaw In the Irish language, se sounds like 'sh' and á sounds like 'aw'. So Seán gets anglicized as Shawn/Shaun and seems inconsistent to English speakers despite following the rules of its origin language.

@thenorthrmembrs @greendoondoon @DrJasonJohnson Irish names are phonetically consistent, they're just in a different language (Irish/Gaeilge). They're easy to pronounce once you know the rules of that language.

@GregWildSmith @greendoondoon How is Siobhán not phonetically spelled? It's just not in English.

It's not about how long you spend in lockdown - it's about the numbers you get down to.

I don't think #ZeroCovid is more work for citizens - I do appreciate that it is more work and responsibility for government & civil service.

I cannot emphasize how much I hate research that uses technology to force autistic people to mask.

I'm honestly surprised this article wasn't from The Onion.

Can’t believe they make ads for perfume on TV. there are no smells. just fields and violins.

@Abigail_Neilson @taylorswift13 SYGB and happiness are the kind of songs where if I want to even listen to them I have to be prepared to cry 😭

@naturalistdara Oh hey I was obsessed with the Big Bang when I was younger too! I got the Wonders of the Universe book for Christmas one year and adored it. We had to do a painting project in school and I remember painting Brian Cox against a starry background :)

Crap year etc.

Good stuff:
- started writing and producing songs and released 3
- finished college and started my PhD
- wrote ~95k words across 3 books
- read 69 books
- wasn't alone over quarantine.

@PetrovADmitri @3rdreviewer @rongejman @gsherloc I remember one of my immunology lecturers mentioning this. She recommended a book called The Beautiful Cure, which says it’s to do with innate immunity & TLRs

@Samanticka I don’t get the need to mock him. To me his tweet comes across as a biologist being excited about the natural world and wishing we didn’t take its marvels for granted just because we’re used to them, even if the news headline bit is silly.

[EL / Luchra @frizzyroselle]

@PetrovADmitri @3rdreviewer @rongejman @gsherloc I assumed it was that but then why don’t you have allergic reactions to new foods?
