We lose the habit of reading because we’re afraid of wasting our time. We think we need to be preoccupied and productive at all times. But people are not machines, and you are nourished by naps and fiction and basking in sunlight, no less than by food and drink.

"We need to make alternative modes of transport more attractive, so people move away from the private car. If everybody is trying to drive nobody can move well"

@ProfFeynman Not actually. At our school we guide kids to explore and discover. Our school tests creativity, exploration and presentation skills. No marks, just loving feedback.

CHART

China, Japan & South Korea have recently committed to reaching net-zero emissions.

That means two-thirds of the world’s coal use & nearly half its CO2 emissions are now covered by national or regional net-zero goals.

SCIENCE:

If you don't make mistakes, you're doing it wrong.

If you don't correct those mistakes, you're doing it really wrong.

If you can't accept that you're mistaken, you're not doing it at all.

Ruben Uría (reported who interviewed Messi): "Once again, they were wrong about Messi, because he doesn't love money, but the shirt. He told his truth and spoke from his heart." [sport]

@AtaruHansome @neiltyson Actually, there was a lot of practical knowledge in the engineers’ heads that was never written down... Knowledge that will have to be rediscovered pretty much from scratch so, yes, we CAN get it back but we aren’t picking up from where we left off.

This is the reaction of France to the virus pandemic - increasing scientific research budget by 5 billion euro. Far better response than shutting down universities until the pandemic is over.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

La crise du COVID-19 nous rappelle le caractère vital de la recherche scientifique et la nécessité d'investir massivement pour le long terme. J'ai décidé d’augmenter de 5 milliards d'euros notre effort de recherche, effort inédit depuis la période de l’après-guerre.

Another one of Maluabay beach in Australia.

People forced to seek refuge on a beach.

LOOK AT THIS! Looks like end of times.

And people still out here denying Climate Change.

THIS SH*T IS NO JOKE!

My prayers are with the people of Australia 💔🙏🏽🤲🏽😭
