The HPV vaccine is one of the greatest triumphs of science. It saves young women’s lives. And men’s! ❤️❤️❤️

Petition for the ladies' and mens' ponds to swap venues on Hampstead Heath. This is frikkin ridiculous. I am serious.

TIL "how to correctly use the sash windows"! "Open equally at the top and bottom [so that] cooler incoming air flushes the warm air out of the room. The warm air inside the room tumbles out of the top opening and the cooler air from the outside comes in through the lower opening."

Some Yanks in this pub are setting their alarms to ET cause they think it means ‘English Time’ SHOUD I TELL THEM

I see that staff at the The Institute of Cancer Research is to strike over pay. "Many currently earn barely over the London Living Wage of just £14.80 per hour." 😥 Solidarity to the workforce of 1,200 scientists and other staff 🍞 🌹 www.unitetheunion.org/news-events/...

I quite liked this news coverage. Everything fine. Interviewed a bunch of stakeholders they said everything was fine. There were some worries but everything turned out OK www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is really lovely ❤️🥬🍅

🚨Funding for 2yr postdoc w/ me & @geocron.bsky.social on landslide-tsunami-jökulhlaup project, but (this is the ridiculous part) I need to select someone NOW or I lose the $. If you're NOT in Canada (can be any nationality) and interested, send me your CV and transcripts by midnight MT, June 12. 🧪⚒️

Something I find fascinating is that surgeons say that they never know what they're going to find. Could be all reverso in there, or three kidneys, or anything. People are amazing and nobody, absolutely nobody, is exactly like the textbooks say. www.livescience.com/health/anato...

Congrats to Italian @esa.int astronaut Luca Parmitano! I loved this pic of him doing survival training in Russia w NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg. "There is always the possibility that a Soyuz could land in a remote area. All crew have to learn to survive in harsh climates while waiting for rescue."

Hehehe I think many of us can sympathise with forever being the IT dept. "His brother, John Prevost, still calls the pontiff from Chicago for I.T. support. 'And Roberto says, ‘John, I’m the pope,’'." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/w...

Readers, I love you, but please look up the British spelling before you write me an angry letter 💖

Joke's on you Copilot, I've been creating Word documents with just my words since before you were born

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

Wow — this young journalist is INCREDIBLY brave. Chapeau

This looks brilliant! Everyone on the hot bits of the continent will tell you: gotta get external shades babes "The product aims to be genuinely accessible, low cost, and easily deployable. No tools, screws, or adhesives. Just a climate friendly cooling solution." www.stayshaded.co.uk

This is great. A programme that supports kids to brush their teeth at preschool is growing in England. Kudos to every local authority rolling this out, Colgate-Palmolive for donating 23 million toothbrushes and toothpastes and every staff member implementing it! 🪥🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Low pay is not a good proxy for 'low skill'

Good morning! Here is a three-day old sea-otter pup, snoozing on their Mama. The image is by one my favourite wildlife photographers, Suzi Eszterhas, who runs girlswhoclick.org - an organisation that mentors girls and young women interested in nature photography. Feel free to share.

Yesterday I went to the book signing of ‘Beyond Belief’ by @helenpearson.bsky.social I am half way through it & already recommending it to all. An essential book for our times - why should we always ask for evidence & when should we believe it. But don’t just take my word for it, read it ;-) 🧪

Pioneering transplant scientist Paul Terasaki was born in California and in WWII his Japanese–American family was forced to give up everything and go to an internment camp in Arizona, where there was no schooling newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/pau...

Interesting @astronauts4america.bsky.social astronautsforamerica.org

French printers referred to the act of making a stereotype as 'clicher', an onomatopoeia that replicates the clicking sound they made. The re-usable cast plate, the stereotype, was called a 'cliché'. By 1946, the NY Times was melting 90,000 lbs (40,000 kg) of metal every night to make stereotypes.

A HUGE, narrative-breaking moment for the UK car market New EVs are now cheaper than petrol cars on average, says Autotrader Last yr CCC said price parity was due by 2028 – and it's already here And EVs are already MUCH cheaper to run than petrol

Imagine not having a favourite dinosaur 😭 (Stegosaurus)
