I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

The UK has now issued a travel warning for the US: possible arrest or detention for failing to meet entry requirements.

Trump's staggering offensive against science EDITORIAL. Faced with the crusade led by the US president, Europe must take the lead by developing an ambitious policy for welcoming 'dissident' American scientists.

Screens which show toilet occupancy rates. Women 80%, men 18%

The toilets at Paddington Station have an inequality monitor.

Although in fact the ‘available’ women’s cubicles are either out of order or occupied. Pic taken from queue. There was of course no queue for the mens…

Jacquie Ovalle is not of this world.

“I find it frustrating and lazy that men don’t get involved,” Ryan Hamilton said. “Why are you not out here going, ‘How dare you?’ … You’re happy to let your wife or daughter go out and tell their nightmare story over and over again while you sit your lazy ass at home?”

For traveling World Cup fans, U.S. visa policy, wait times present roadblocks

State Department officials expect travel bans to be applied or threatened by the Trump administration against people from countries whose teams may be competing in the World Cup, which may also limit the ability of supporters to attend the tournament. www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

Man Utd news: Staff canteen axed as part of cost-cutting measures Man Utd news: Staff canteen axed as part of cost-cutting measures

One thing they do in the NFL, which would be fascinating to see in the Premier League, is the player's union runs and publishes an annual, anonymous survey of player perceptions of their teams. They grade facilities, canteen, quality of owner, quality of coaching etc.

The Seattle Sounders have announced a new "First Match On Us" initiative.

Essentially, it's free tickets to select matches for anyone who hasn't attended a Sounders game before. Seattle say they want to grow the game.

This is a great way to do so. Awesome idea 👏👏

I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

Please note the updated bag policy for tomorrow’s match against Crystal Palace.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.

This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

I’m sure all the “save women’s sports from trans ppl” crowd will be up in arms to learn about “ sexual abuse, coercion, and inappropriate touching” at the NWSL revealed FOUR YEARS AGO.

we need to talk about weight loss drug ads in women's sports Women's sports also have a rapidly growing audience, and brands are desperate to cash in.

My latest: “Recent data shows that girls ages 12-18 are the fastest growing market for women's sports, which makes these weight loss drugs especially concerning. This is the age group most vulnerable to the onset of eating disorders.”

There is a toddler belly laughing in the back of the bus I’m on and I can’t even begin to express how uplifting it is.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Sending you love, friend. It feels like there is a lot going on now. I’m here if you want to talk 💕

Why Sweden Clears Snow-Covered Walkways Before Roads — Streetsblog USA It's part of "gender-balanced" policy that reflects the fact that women walk more than men.

“Many Swedish cities, including Stockholm, prioritize snow clearance very differently. They now clear walkways & bike paths first, especially those near bus stops & primary schools. Next, they clear local roads, & then, finally, highways.” Via @usa.streetsblog.org

Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.

Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.
