"home of ancestor-worship, antisemitism, colour prejudice, antifeminism, snobbery, and obstruction to educational progress."
Important also today to remember that opposition has existed even in some of the darker phases of history.

Congratulations to Dr. (!) Celia Vinagre-Izquierdo and the supervisors for this excellent scientific work.
Really enjoyed contributed to the evaluation of the thesis, and a pleasure to be in Seville for the occasion.

Eurasian #otters are an endangered and elusive species that is challenging to monitor. Researchers from Cardiff University have now developed a new way to study otters—by analysing their spraint: royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article... #RSOS
The #IUCN Conservation Genetics Specialist Group (which I am proud to be part of) has a new website up, see below. Beginning to add resources, and also highlights our members across the globe. We hope this resource will help others reach out to us to input or advice.

I also wish to point out the same quote by Lancelot Hogben (more info on him here: www.nytimes.com/1975/08/23/a...) on eugenics in 1931: ...
Hopefully this review by Alex Aylward, Daniel J. Fairbanks, Maria Kiladi & Gregory Radick will form an important contribution to the Genetics Society UK, but also the wider scientific community in wrapping our heads around how genetics and biology not only widely accepted, ...

An excellent paper in @heredityjournal.bsky.social by Alex Aylward and colleagues on the role of the @gensocuk.bsky.social and eugenics. As a current committee member, I am embarrassed by my predecessors wait and see attitude to Nazi antisemitism in 1934. In contrast, Lancelot Hogben's quote...
