Introducing my students to Marcus Aurelius and the stoics has been eye opening. They are astounded that voices speaking from across the ages are pertinent, personal and progressive. Calm wisdom has never been more important. #homeschool #education #philosophy www.masterclass.com/series/using...

This episode is Ezra at his finest. Balanced, calm, clear and very worried.

Tylenol and now this nonsense! When Biden rambled like this he was ousted! “We have a border, strong, and we have a shape, and that shape doesn’t just go straight up; that shape is amorphous when it comes to the atmosphere." We have a shape that doesn’t go up⁉️🙋 edition.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

DNA and Rosalind Franklin for example! It's why I wrote my book about the brilliant Maria Mendeleeva. Her legacy reaches beyond her son Dmitri. Brilliant women have shone powerful beams that have been obscured by careless curricula and skewed storytelling. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

This is us. The only barriers are mountains, seas and rivers. One planet. One chance. Multiple life forms that will survive us. It’s humbling. It’s glorious. It’s home.

When Trump puts up barriers they just go elsewhere. America first is a flawed policy. www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09...

This is a somber, and also hopeful discussion. Well worth tuning into on your travels. The politics of energy in the age of Trump, and how cheap, abundant power could transform not just the climate fight but democracy itself. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I wonder how long she will hold out. Italians will not be slow in expressing their feelings on this matter. english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-...

Perhaps we should get that printed on a tee shirt! news.sky.com/story/politi...

When you’ve lived in tents the Okavango Delta for 12 years you learn a thing or two about 'making a plan' Here is some classy bush plumbing 😂

Thank you Bill. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

His expertise on matters medical is unparalleled. President Trump will be practising brain surgery next month ( I use the word advisedly) using lego and ping-pong balls! One wonders what his mother ingested during her pregnancy to nourish such a mind. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Travel was disrupted and it took a long time to get home today but the least one can do. Solidarity for the strikes was clear to see everywhere I looked. Rome stood up for Palestine. www.independent.co.uk/news/gaza-ro...

However, on the tax payers dine, her brother in law the King hosts Trump, a man who befriended Epstein, is a felon and has been accused of sexual assaults. It’s a crazy upside down world! news.sky.com/story/duches...

I’m glad the UK has recognised Palestine but it’s come too late for Labour to regain my vote. I’m done with the party I have stood by for my entire adult life. news.sky.com/story/what-d...

Well there you go! The USA will be represented in Russia’s version of the Eurovision song contest! I think that says it all 😂 🎤 🕺💃 news.sky.com/story/less-c...

Finally!. Embarrassingly late but finally! Now what? More faffing about and placating or will we protect the people of Palestine! news.sky.com/story/starme...

Well Ed has grown a pair. No messing around here! news.sky.com/story/sir-ed...

This interview is a respectful summary of the principle Kirk espoused 'we can disagree agreeably.' This principle shared by Kirk, Klein, and Van Jones. It is the civilised way forward. I disagreed with what Kirk said, but not with how he said it. We need to talk. edition.cnn.com/2025/09/19/p...

For anyone doing homeschool or who has an interest in biology and genetics this is a fabulous interactive site developed by the University of Utah. It is clear, engaging and well structured. My students love it. learn.genetics.utah.edu #homeschool #education #science

Thanks for posting this fascinating article. Cutting funding for science is dangerously short sighted! "We need to study a much wider catalog of solar behavior if we wish to understand the dynamics of our wild, beautiful star"

Such a cool little documentary: it packs a punch. Just watched this with one of my younger students and she loved it. it’s brilliant how seriously the young are taking climate change and taking imaginative action. #homeschool #soil #education #climatechange www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsL4...

Good idea but the link needs to be adjusted.

Yikes being flooded by spam AI driven PR proposals for my book published in 2019! I’m assuming the algorithm is targeting books low on Amazon.😂 When the offer is politely declined the emails get rude very fast. 😂😂 A human might need to tweak the algorithm. AI has a way to go bless it!

Oh the wonder of this. Amid all the mess and misery science cleanses the soul. news.northwestern.edu/stories/2025...

Riveting article. .."how we design the delivery vehicle is just as important as the genetic tools themselves. By marrying two powerful biotechnologies -- CRISPR and SNAs -- we have created a strategy that could unlock CRISPR's full therapeutic potential." www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Once Great Britain had a voice now it is a whimpering puppet state. "The prime minister is due to have discussions with the president today, but reports suggest he will delay formally recognising a Palestinian state until this weekend, after Mr Trump has left Britain." news.sky.com/story/sadiq-...

One wonders what the shunned Prince Andrew is thinking as his family greets this Epstein pal with open arms! The Uk and its royal fam have been diminished by the government's flaying moral compass. This gawdy state visit is embarrassing and tasteless. www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

Freedom of speech is not about liking what everyone has to say. There is a lot said that I find appalling and I have the freedom to turn away from callous cruelty. We have the freedom to listen, to think and to express thoughtful views without endangering others.

Interesting interview with Tim Burners’Lee.

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social Interested to hear you will be talking about rape on TRIP. As a mother of 5 who was gang raped my concern is that too little is discussed about the secondary victims of sexual crime. Living with PTSD research focuses on military families. I’d love your thoughts.

A nice bit of creative, non-violent protesting. Thanks chaps.

Love this article. The story of a fig and a wasp matters. " Understanding how each group can move across fragmented habitats is important in a modern world turned into patchwork by our own species’ success."

I’ve just come back from an evening walk near a little Umbrian town. Normally, I would be listening to the birds and the wind in the trees. Instead I was listening to Ezra. His measured, calm intelligence gave me hope. Perhaps his best podcast yet! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

This is heartbreaking and important. Respect to @kashhill.bsky.social for doing very tough work on our behalf. It’s not surprising she is distressed and I am truly grateful to her. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/p...

The UK government’s shame over this will never be forgotten. Labour has lost my vote permanently over Gaza. Now TAKE ACTION. Do something, Stop the killing and the starving. The UK can crawl out from under its stone and stand up for GAZA. It’s a genocide! www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Oh the deep, deep embarrassment. The cost. The hypocrisy. The humiliation. The shrinking, little UK has lost the plot. I’m not a monarchist but actually I feel sorry for the Royal fam. Imagine being forced to host this horror. www.bbc.com/news/article...

One of the many points I made to my kids when we Brexited ”Watch the sea and the rivers the sh** will flow again." They didn’t believe me. I hate being right. Truly I would love to have been wrong about Brexit. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Super interesting episode of Sean Illing’s the Grey area. Discussing free speech with the historian Fara Dabhoiwala. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

"There are more Republicans signalling their desire to exit Washington (27) than Democrats (10)." Intriguing!

Much as it pains me I think the Tories and co are 100% right demanding explanations. I am so sick of this kind of political stupidity. We have serious problems to solve and if the PM knew about Mandelson's relationship with E then he shouldn’t have appointed him. news.sky.com/story/politi...

This is a VERY big deal for Botswana. Once the poorest nation in Africa. "The stones are the country’s main source of income and account for about 30 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) and 80 percent of its exports, according to the IMF" www.thesouthafrican.com/news/lab-gro...

WOW this is generous and much needed. #writers observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

This is so sad. I have huge respect for many America Universities but oh boy Trump has created problems. Some students of mine who were aiming for the USA for undergrad degrees have backed out in favour of Europe. Interestingly they favour EU over the UK, because the EU appears more welcoming!

Yes for sure. As one who has spent the last four years digging deep into 18th and 19th European and Russian science I am hugely grateful to those who have treasured and archived ideas that have sparked a deeper understanding of the world. Here’s the link. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/roger-penr...

V. Interesting article. AI is with us but has a way to go! Last night messing around I asked ChatGPT to recite Had I the heavens' by W.B and the response had me helpless. The following In a rather patronising tone: “Had I the heavens embroidered clocks..." Bliss! fortune.com/2025/08/18/m...

While we know the internet can be toxic it is also so very, very generous. I am deeply grateful to the experts in multiple fields who share their knowledge and their wonder for free. This site is a prime example. There are gems to explore here. #homeschool #biology#education www.ibiology.org

For anyone in Rome don’t miss this sensory exhibition at the Bramante gallery– one of Rome’s hidden gems. I love this space and this exhibition has some glorious surprises. www.chiostrodelbramante.it/post_mostra/...

Such a powerful, beautifully written article by Erica Wagner. "I have wondered how history lodges in a place, ancient or human-made... it is possible to sense time as a living dimension, the past embodied in land, stone or even steel." observer.co.uk/news/interna...
