Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male
Biological Sex is a social construct
I recently tweeted, as an aside, that biological sex is a social construct, and the backlash and attacks were swift, incredulous and heavily reliant upon very basic biology. There is a common perce…

One mother for two species via obligate cross-species cloning in ants
Living organisms are assumed to produce same-species offspring1,2. Here, we report a shift from this norm in Messor ibericus, an ant that lays individuals from two distinct species. In this life cycle, females must clone males of another species because they require their sperm to produce the worker caste. As a result, males from the same mother exhibit distinct genomes and morphologies, as they belong to species that diverged over 5 million years ago. The evolutionary history of this system appears as sexual parasitism3 that evolved into a natural case of cross-species cloning4,5, resulting in the maintenance of a male-only lineage cloned through distinct species’ ova. We term females exhibiting this reproductive mode as xenoparous, meaning they give birth to other species as part of their life cycle.
Women portrayed as younger than men online, and AI amplifies the bias - Haas News | UC Berkeley Haas
In a sweeping study published today in Nature, researchers at UC Berkeley Haas, Stanford, and Oxford/Autonomy University documented extensive age and gender distortion across online media—and found that common algorithms are amplifying the bias.

Sex Differences in Personality are Large and Important - Marginal REVOLUTION
Men and women are different. A seemingly obvious fact to most of humanity but a long-time subject of controversy within psychology. New large-scale results using better empirical methods are resolving the debate, however, in favor of the person in the street. The basic story is that at the broadest level (OCEAN) differences are relatively small […]

AI, gender bias and development
Generative AI is quietly reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes, shaping how we see the world and ourselves. How can we ensure it doesn't affect our development work in a biased way?
A large gender gap persists in STEM disciplines across the world that is bad for innovation, talent attraction & against fairness principles. On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, @ansolassen.bsky.social @cairosofie.bsky.social @valentinatartari.bsky.social are sharing our findings ⬇️
Oh no it's happening here too! Massive science threads and convos with zero involvement from women 😭 That was one of the weirdest, most alienating things about science twitter (and why perhaps I don't have as fond memories of it as some of my male colleagues do) and I'd hate it to be replicated here
