Oh for goodness sake! Stop blindly following dreadful USA policies that damage us as a cohesive society! I'm sick of the anger-fuelled divisions these people try to introduce c.org/77CcrvDYVJ

Great!

Clear message. Stay alert!

That would be because vaccines are safe and they do not cause autism Lack of vaccines causes early death The entire RFK team should be arrested and prosecuted for crimes against children!

Shameful anti-history behaviour of the Dept of the Interior. I gather the city of Philadelphia is suing. Good luck.

Listening on radio to news, sounds like Tr*mp is at Davos launching his "Bored of Peace" initiative....sounds about right for this domestic and international peace-destroyer 🤔

Lovely! On an otherwise horrible day.

Absolutely! And are we seeing embryonic distrust in evidence-based medicine (backed up by systematic reviews of RCTs, etc) here in the UK? With presumably equally valuable "Wellness" (snake oil?) market. Worrying. Post-truth, post-science.

Such a good thread about fake-equivalence people never bothering to evidence their fake claims

No excuse not to make (anonymised) data available WITH THE PAPER!

Disappointing that the data from this metaanalysis “may be available on request”. Why no open data?

2.(Acknowledge a huge bias in this experiment - they're all books on my shelf, so I probably don't hate them!).

Because the world seems rather scary with random acts of unpleasantness dominating the news, I'm trying a silly experiment with my own bookcases to cite something that occurs at a series of random numbers (shelf number, position on shelf, page in book).

Dangerous ignorance by Farage...and proud of it, seemingly. Aping RFK JR.

Every country needs to be following Finland's lead here. Media literary skills are going to be crucially important in the age of AI, where knowing what's real and what's not is going to be increasingly difficult apnews.com/article/fake...

#AI may indeed exacerbate our bad academic habits: #LLM science summaries were nearly five times more likely than human-authored science summaries to contain broad generalizations (95% CI [3.06, 7.70], p < 0.001). And newer models over-generalized more; not less! doi.org/10.1098/rsos... #philSci

At the Ancient Woodland: Past, Present and Future conference in Birmingham, one message was unmistakable: AW need protect under law and PAWs restoration needs to increase. Ancient woodland should be treated as irreplaceable, not optional scenery. See campaigns below youtu.be/AWgtMwWCCBA?...

This was a fantastic webinar - well worth a watch 👀😎

uppcinema.com/show/souleym.... Such a brilliant, if harrowing, film. Great to have the opportunity of seeing it in Oxford . Highly recommend!

A simple way to reduce the risk of importing illegal conflict timber, would be to grow more timber in the UK. In reality domestic timber availability is set for long term decline, so we are deliberately increasing our dependence on imported timber and other forest products.

What a great paper!

Made me remember the fabulous musical theatre- Quipu- developed and performed at Imberhorne School back in the 70's

Excellent visualisation of important difference.

To balance the good progress on Horizon... depressing continued Brexit downside.
