When I started my academic career at the Open University (OU) in the UK, feminism was opposed to the determinism of biological sex as a force in determining identity. Instead, the malleable influence of gender and culture was emphasized. So it seems strange that a gender-critical feminist like Joe Phoenix is ​​now advocating for gender superiority. But there is a reason for this apparent reversal. Additionally, harassment, victimization, and discrimination should not be a response from colleagues, even if they disagree. As transgender activism gains momentum, cisgender women are increasingly concerned about the safety of women and girls in spaces…

Americans always rehabilitate former presidents.George W. Bush, who got us into the disastrous Iraq War and badly botched the response to Hurricane Katrina, is a charming amateur who plays friends with Michelle Obama and gives her candy. It was fascinating to see them rebrand as artists.And it didn’t just happen to him. The Monica Lewinsky scandal has faded when I think about Bill Clinton. President Barack Obama’s reliance on drone strikes and his nickname “Chief of Foreign Transportation” are now rarely mentioned.That’s because our political memory is not fixed, but constantly adjusted. Politicians’ negative aspects often decrease while their positive…

Written by JagWire Editor-in-Chief Emma Clement Our generation grew up on Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Reading about preteen demigods, we all theorized about who our godly parents would be. So when it was announced that Disney+ would be producing a live-action series (a much-needed reprieve from the film’s failures), I was overjoyed. After watching the 8-episode first season, I have to say I really enjoyed it. One of the most controversial aspects of this show was the casting, and in fact, it was one of my favorite things about this film adaptation. The casting of black…

Optical Photothermal Infrared Spectroscopy (O-PTIR) – biorxiv.org Identifying the organic material preserved within fossils is difficult. Established vibrational spectroscopy techniques, such as micro-FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), are widely used to investigate the molecular composition of organic fossils. However, even if successfully adapted to study objects with diameters of tens of micrometers, they still suffer from limitations, especially regarding resolution and sample preparation requirements. Optical photothermal infrared spectroscopy (O-PTIR), a recently developed technology, overcomes the challenges of benchtop FTIR spectroscopy. By combining an IR excitation laser with a 532 nm green probe laser, this technique enables molecular characterization with high…
