US natalist conference to host race-science promoters and eugenicists

Details emerge about Natal conference in Austin later this month, set to feature figures linked to far-right politics

A natalist conference featuring speakers including self-described eugenicists and promoters of race science, apparently including the man behind a previously pseudonymous race-science influencer account, and the founder of a startup offering IQ screening for IVF embryos, will be held at a hotel and conference venue operated by the public University of Texas, Austin.

Details of the conference have emerged as a prominent supporter of pro-natalist positions, the tech billionaire Elon Musk, lays waste US government agencies under the banner of his Doge" initiative, with the blessing of Donald Trump.
