- Reposted by Ann-Christin FischerWe're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

What factors need to be considered? @ennofischer.bsky.social & I are receiving submissions exploring these & related questions for a topical collection in EJPS!

- Reposted by Ann-Christin FischerIs niche construction (NC) just about selection? In our new #HPbio paper, we argue that NC can also influence drift by modulating pop. size & driftability (variance in possible reproductive outcomes). This link prompts a broader definition of NC 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #evosky
