I'm honestly not surprised that fandom, and basically everyone else, doesn't understand copyright and intellectual property rights. Because those are also the people that who work in social media whose posts get taken down because they've "borrowed" photos they didn't buy or make

There is enough food in the world for everyone. Yet 266 million people face acute hunger due to conflict, climate shocks & inequality. From the frontlines of crises to the most remote communities, @WFP delivers vital food and other aid where it’s needed most.

The Grace Hopper conference--the largest gathering of women in tech--was abruptly cancelled due to insufficient funding. Women are underrepresented in tech and AI globally. Truly, society is losing out by not investing in women in tech. forbes.com/sites/sandycarter…

Historically, medical research has relied heavily on male participants, with findings often generalized to women and children. If women’s health is discussed at all, it’s largely framed around reproduction. This special issue of Science highlights the research that is seeking to close the critical gaps in women’s health.

Every girl, adolescent and woman has the right to be safe. No matter what she wears. No matter where she goes. No matter if she stays alert. Safe. Full stop. We cannot accept a world where violence is a risk girls are expected to navigate. It’s time to prevent violence, hold perpetrators accountable and end violence against girls and women.

We are grateful for the sundial donation of Dr. Robert Stairs, and to all team involved in the project. Beyond a landmark, the sundial offers students and the York community an opportunity to see the connections between science, time and astronomy in action. 🔭

I don't understand the point of the proposed Billy Bishop expansion in Toronto. Ford's voterbase is the suburbs. I grew up in the suburbs. I don't know anyone who flew out of BB, and I don't know why they would when Pearson is easier to get it.

As we enter the second week of Convocation ceremonies here at York University, I wanted to share this lovely poem by one of our graduates and a President's Ambassador - I think this really captures what a special place this institution is: bit.ly/4vVgThT #YorkUConvo

"Every fraction of a degree brings greater harm – especially to the most vulnerable. Our task is to make that overshoot as small, as short, and as safe as possible – and rapidly bring temperatures back down." - @antonioguterres urges to act #NowForClimate. #WorldEnvironmentDay
