  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦔🍼 A short beaked #echidna at the #SanDiegoZoo Safari Park gave birth to two #puggles in one season, a rarity for #monotremes.

    One puggle is raised naturally while the other, which struggled to gain weight, is hand reared by veterinarians with #ultrasound monitoring. Echidna #puggles start life weighing about 350 mg – that's less than half a mini-marshmallow!

  6. In response to the recent publication by the National Bureau of Economic Research that suggests that the iPhone triggered a drop in fertility in the U.S., I have just posted a response, a follow-up to my previous post on human population regulation.

  7. Chez les primates, la fin du mythe du mâle dominant

    2 mai 2026 - Magali Reinert

    La féminisation de la primatologie a changé le regard que la science portait sur les rapports entre les sexes de nos lointains parents. Les femelles établissent une domination non par la force, mais en contrôlant la reproduction.

  9. Parker et al. intend to impose those ancient, pre-modern, pre-scientific, misogynistic authority figures —by way of highly selected texts — on all of us, and to claim that these highly selected texts represent "the" tradition set in stone for all eternity. Take it or leave it. "The" tradition says. And law now says, as it cites these authorities.

    Reject this and call it nonsense, and you're rejecting God and calling down "His" wrath.

  10. So OF COURSE Alabama judge Parker would be a fanboy of Thomas Aquinas, since what he and his party want to do with their attacks on abortion and IVF and, in all likelihood soon, contraception, is to control women.

    What Parker et al. are about is finding ancient authorities imbued with patriarchal, pre-scientific assumptions, to impose as "the" authorities on 21st-century thinking about human reproduction.

  11. • In pregnancy, a woman is merely an incubator for what really matters in the process of reproduction, the "little man" that the male, as the active agent of reproduction, places in the passive receptacle provided by the female.

    • Sperm, what happens to it, where it goes, what it does, whether its potential to create life is respected, is supreme in this sexual ethical system. Males count supremely. Women are…just there.

  12. • Hovering in the background of this thinking is the assumption — here Aquinas is indebted to Aristotle, who knew nothing much about the actual biological facts of reproduction — that sperm is sacred. Sperm is life itself, in this way of thinking. Wasting sperm militates against life itself.

    • Aristotle and Aquinas thought that reproduction involves the penis placing in the passive receptacle of the womb a "little man," a homunculus.

  13. • Therefore anything — anything at all — that interferes with the "natural" purpose of human reproduction is deeply sinful. Whether that "anything" be masturbation, homosexual sex, contraception, coitus interruptus: anything.

    • With this line of reasoning, Aquinas taught that for a man to rape a woman is less sinful than for a man to masturbate. Rape at least does not thwart the "natural" purpose of sexuality, while masturbation does.

  14. • Aquinas' neoscholastic theology was long the foundation of Catholic theology in general.

    • Aquinas' natural-law theology, which draws heavily on the philosophy of Aristotle (and on Aristotle's biological assumptions), remains foundational for official Catholic teaching about sexual morality.

    • This theology teaches that "nature" demonstrates, if we think about it, that the purpose of sexual intercourse is reproduction.

  15. In addition to a 17th-century Dutch theologian (Petrus van Mastricht) and the King James bible, one of the authorities cited by Alabama chief justice Parker in his ruling on IVF is the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas. Parker's ruling cites Aquinas six times.

    As someone with an M.A. and Ph.D. in historical theology — from a Catholic university — I know a little about Aquinas. Here are some salient points:

  16. Enfin, vous aurez peut-être remarqué quelques changements dans la nomenclature ! "Trompes de Fallope" est remplacé par "Tubes utérins ou Salpinx" (qui sont les termes communément acceptés, et permettent d'expliquer la salpingographie !) et "Glande de Bartholin" est remplacé par "glande vestibulaire".

    Et ses petits frères terminés aujourd'hui pour deux autres commandes :)

  17. Un nouveau puzzle utérus pour une commande spéciale incluant deux particularités : l'utérus est en deux couches, permettant de distinguer la paroi de la cavité utérine et de montrer le positionnement d'un DIU ("stérilet") et le bois est deux fois plus épais, permettant de montrer l'insertion d'une coupe menstruelle !
    Le rectum, que je n'avais pas placé sur les précédents puzzles, est également représenté, afin de pouvoir expliquer les conséquences de l'endométriose.
    Egalement, l'une des trompes présente une ligature :)

  18. Asexual reproduction in stick insects: a dead-end or a new beginning? A recent study on facultative parthenogen, M. batesii suggests that transitions to asexuality can come with dramatic genetic changes, but may have little immediate effects on performance in the wild. Read a new study by Miller et al. ahead of print!

    Это ужасная репродукция яркой живописи, но мне нравится её «убитость» и муарность. (По ссылке можно увидеть более качественную, но тоже не самую удачную репродукцию.)
