Well will you look at that

Actual boss of actual farmers' union says solar farms not a threat to food security (which should have been obvious to anyone who understands that 0.1% of the UK is a small amount)

Honestly, seeing this makes me happy. All over the world there is so much anger, violence & toxic behaviour between politicians. I prefer a world where we can disagree, but still treat each other with respect. 🤝

Word of the day is a reminder of ‘malversation’ (16th century): corrupt behaviour in public office.

Quick thread on the Astra Zeneca (AZ) covid vaccine since it's been in the news today.

TLDR there isn't a new "smoking gun", the AZ vax was one of first and cheapest, it saved millions of lives globally, there are better vax out there now, adapted to new variants 1/9

You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences.

Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022.

The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.

It's not a coincidence

It's because of a single, massive accident

Anyway, this is just a message to say life is tough & people are spinning more plates that you know.
Be kind always. Be more than your work. Be the good thing in someone’s life that made them smile when times were bad.

Cells are very fast and crowded places.

A molecule of glucose flies through a cell at 250 mph.

A protein tumbles 60 million times per minute.

These numbers seem made up. How did we figure this stuff out?

When JUNIOR doctors strike, Consultants like me will cover the wards.

Not looking forward to it, but patients will be safe, and junior doctors will have the opportunity to fight to stay in the NHS.

We need to support them, they are the future of our health system.

[Rob Galloway @DrRobgalloway]

Dear British Press,

There is nothing in Prince Harry’s autobiography as scandalous as the implosion of our NHS.

So please report on the things which are actually important

Thanks

Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now.

Staff are battling to maintain patient safety. This image reflects a stark depiction of exactly what all health care staff are experiencing on the frontline. My last 3 nightshifts were the worst I’ve experienced in my 30 years nursing #FairPayForNursing #SafeStaffingSavesLives

[Josh Gabbatiss @Josh_Gabbatiss]

I've returned to my parents' home in West Oxfordshire this Christmas to find people angry and worried about the future of the village.

Why? Because they say "Europe's biggest solar farm" is about to be built on their doorstep.
