We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.” ― James Baldwin Pic of the day #photography

Some great research coming from my lab group!

Well that’s my highlight of the season done and dusted already.

"The first-of-its-kind study shows that the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to global renewable energy — contradicting industry claims to be pioneers in the energy transition."

Really cool this! New insight into where museum specimens come from is always welcome, would love to be able to apply it to egg collections (many of which are unlabelled due to their collectors being old, bored, 19th century toffs who were only in it for aesthetic value and prestige).

THE #REDROSES ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS! A brilliant peformance in the final against a Canada side who never relented. England's forward pack sensational, Heard brilliant - what a moment infront of over 80,000 people. #RWC2025 #WomensRugby #RWC2025Final

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

I have a fundamentally different political view to that entire March today. But I am fucking sick of the rank classist comments eg referencing things like "flat roof pubs" and Wetherspoons when talking about it. Stop painting working class people as stupid racists;

"The landlord says the rent increase reflects the market rate for the area." Translation: "Every other landlord round here is hiking the rent, so I reckon I can get away with it too." This is exploitation, plain and simple. We need robust rent controls now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The men are shit, the women are shit, the Union’s full of cunts, your club’s about to be cut, and it honestly feels like it’s only going to keep getting worse. Welsh Rugby in 2025 is the pits.

Forests are vital in fighting climate change. 🌲 The Amazon Soy Moratorium has been one of the greatest successes in halting #deforestation since its implementation in 2006. Scrapping it sends the wrong signal ahead of #COP30 and threatens the Amazon. ❌ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Our paper is already one of the ten most-shared on social media articles in the history of the journal. As of right now, 14 people have posted about it on Twitter. And 1,018 people have posted about it on Bluesky. Which sorta makes our point here?

My response to those who say it’s “too late” to address climate change and global environmental damage. It is NOT too late. As long as one tree is still standing, one whale is still swimming, and one child is still breathing it is not too late to protect something precious.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! SOMERSET CHASE DOWN 230 AND WIN BY 5 WICKETS!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Spineless on student loans, spineless on AI theft. Nick Clegg is 12 stone of pond slime stuffed into a suite and held up by the resulting noxious gasses & a true scumbag.

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

These books just arrived. Our new crop pollination book with info about fruits, vegetables, bees an conservation measures came out 😊 I hope we will also produce versions adapted to other countries.

Today we can announce a panel of judges has found: - The ecological case against industrial sandeel fishing is sound - The UK has the right to stop this damaging fishing in its waters This means sandeels can be safeguarded for the seabirds that need them.

I know lots of research labs who don’t include undergrad lab assistants as coauthors on papers, because they just followed instructions and didn’t make a serious intellectual contribution. But sure, putting a fantasy author who funded your work as a coauthor screams “serious science, not a stunt.”

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

Ireland are way more aligned with Leinster from a style perspective than last season. The difference is that Ireland are playing generally better teams with deeper squads that don't fall off after 60 minutes when Leinster bring on Snyman and Barrett.

Sorry Ukraine, some of us over here did try but we all failed catastrophically to make this country do the right thing.

The UK’s new plan for biodiversity loss points to ambitious targets - but without action, it’s just words on a page. As one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth, it's time for the UK to step up with strong laws, clear frameworks & proper funding. 👇 community.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/b/na...
