Scientists now believe that the human brain--a magic goo for worrying--can also be used to do other things

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Ireland's green image is largely a fabrication. That could be turned around in a decade, with enough political and societal will.

Disabled people deserve healthcare. Disabled people deserve housing. Disabled people deserve food. Disabled people deserve support. Our ability to work and produce should not determine our value. Disability is not a moral failing. Most people will experience it someday.

I think this is important enough to share with both #Chemsky and #ChemChat

I love it when our @rsc.org Trustees meet here in Cambridge, they're so lovely and supportive of staff. And it's great to catch up with people who have been part of our member networks committees who are now on Board of Trustees.

I would like the conversation around vaccines and autism to involve asking autistic people whether we would rather have died of a preventable childhood disease or lived our autistic life It would be a moot question, since vaccines don't cause autism, but it would be nice to be included

“Iowa City eliminated bus fares in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions… The two-year pilot program proved so popular that the City Council voted this summer to extend it another year, paying for it with a 1% increase in utility taxes and by doubling most public parking rates to $2 from $1”

Out of curiosity, do I know someone (who knows someone) who counts spiders in rainforests? I want to use a short clip of them working for a video and I'd love to use a real scientist. #spiders

Abuse isn't always physical violence, it's ok to leave to protect yourself even if they never hit you.

It is very important to me that more people know the theme tune to Star Trek: Enterprise was written for Rod Stewart to sing for the 1998 Robin Williams movie, Patch Adams.

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round
