Any information about "unnatural" acts in nature was suppressed until the 1990s or so. Of course, by then it wasn't so bad anymore, but still. Conservatives don't fuck around when they cancel.

I think Biological Exuberance by Bruce Bagemihl had a big role in calling this out and paving the way for Kees Moeliker. I guess that is how you got saddled with the presentation, yes?

For those who don't know, Moeliker gave a really good TED talk. Worth watching. It's not about suppressing uncomfortable information, though.

Next Wednesday, June 5th, is Dead Duck Day.
