What a delusional world... At least 26 Palestinians killed in Israeli attack, 15,000 patients risk dying while waiting for Israel to enable evacuation, and the only thing Vance has to say: the 'President's' peace is still holding.. peace for who?

I noticed there aren't many free tools to learn Catalan from English (except YouTube). The apps are full of Ads, or use Spanish/Catalan as main language (Duolingo), or are too complicated for beginners (gencat). Thus, I created this flashcards app: iplanass.github.io/study-flashc... (in progress)

Finally, temperature dropped below 26C yesterday night! I was able to sleep with the window open, no AC 😌 First day, since summer started, that I'm thinking of having lunch out in the garden!

What's the #weather like in #Japan? 3 months of summer (= burning sun, 90% RH, +30C at night), two weeks of nice weather (happening now!) followed by typhoons and a super dry winter. Then, two weeks of nice weather again, before rainy season & back to summer. If you're visiting now, enjoy it! :)

Today in a restaurant I asked: 'Can I have this pasta without bacon please?' -'Of course' says the waiter very kindly. Well, pasta came without bacon indeed, but cooker added mini-sausages instead 😅 I appreciate the effort, but the 'bacon' itself was not the issue 😂 I'll be more specific next time..

I just found this video I took during my stay at @bristolbiosci.bsky.social as a #MSCA fellow. @everyheron.bsky.social, this is the first prototype of our lab assistant Manuel, the 🤖 #heron! 😁 Manuel was key to our publication in @commsbio.bsky.social ➡️ rdcu.be/d9J2u (open access)

Our latest #research with @ccioannou.bsky.social has been published in @commsbio.bsky.social ! Read here 👉 rdcu.be/d9J2u We used real-time tracking and a robot-heron to investigate how state-behaviour #feedbacks influence anti-predator #escape responses in #fish 🐟.
