Confirmation of Genetic Influence On Progeny Gender

There are genetic factors predisposing families to boys or girls. So that some families tend to have more girls or boys. Unknown if mothers or fathers. Age can magnify the effect.

There was another study maybe last year that says the effect is cross-generational, that the father inherit from their own mothers the immune factors to select for specific sex sperms. But this study apparently did not reference that. Because it only looked at nurses, and hence mothers.

But the fact that they can observe this gender trend says something. Because that means most of the observed mothers stayed with a single sexual partner long enough to have more than one child. Thus they were faithful enough to their spouses or partners. Which is not the observed outcome of infidelity studies.

Research Universities in Political Trouble After Getting Into Politics, Ignoring Replication

Northwestern University research teams are facing great uncertainties because of the Federal funding pause. Federal government has not specified what Northwestern needs to do to restore grant funding. Most researchers are very upset at this. Because there is no communication from Federal government, they don't know if their anti-antisemitism measures are what Federal governmeny wants. Northwestern may soon be unable to cover the gap in funding.

No word at all about the replication crisis in science. Since less than 70% of scientific publications are replicable, scientists are much less credible than they think they are. And of course Northwestern University is more than just scientific research. Science's indulgence of non-scientific endeavors like politics and protests only make Big Science a more political target.
