This is not a Netflix show. Elon Musk really IS a foreign billionaire meddling in YOUR democracy.

We need urgent campaign finance reform to close the loopholes he plans to exploit and all of us have to speak out to protect our politics as a space we can disagree agreeably. 1/2

With the final #GlobalPlasticsTreaty negotiations taking place at #INC5 this month, @ProfRThompson urges UN Member States to adopt a strong, and legally binding treaty to end plastic pollution.

The final round of negotiations for the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #INC5 are due to take place in November.
Reflecting on more than 20 years of research on plastic and microplastic pollution, and my experience during negotiations, has brought me to 3 key priorities.

What is the best way to deal with existing marine litter?

@ProfRThompson led a new report for the @RoyalSociety which says community beach cleans might be the best option in the absence of clear evidence about high-tech solutions.

An incredible breakthrough for research into this debilitating pregnancy sickness….

[Pregnancy Sickness Support @HGSupportUK]

Concluding this week's hyperemesis research, Professor Stephen O'Rahilly suggests preventing GDF15 sensitivity and blocking its reach to the brain. Building tolerance pre-conception could be promising. We're here for support. We will continue to update you as we find out more...

@LukePollard Wow first time I’ve been so disappointed in my own MP - your vote certainly does not represent this constituent.

[Prof. Richard C Thompson OBE FRS @ProfRThompson]

Just one example of why the #PlasticsTreaty needs to be informed by scientific evidence on the efficacy of 'potential' solutions here at #INC3, intersessionally and beyond. Without evidence there will be unintended consequences from interventions. @ScientistsCoa

There has been a boom in unusual jellyfish sightings in UK waters this year🪼

The number of jellyfish spotted in UK waters and on beaches increased by 32% in the past year, according to a survey by the Marine Conservation Society (@mcsuk)

Amazing piece on BBC last night on this crucial research. Plymouth looking great on TV too!

[University of Plymouth @PlymUni]

Professor Richard Thompson and Florence Parker-Jurd were interviewed by the BBC’s Sophie Raworth for a piece on the BBC News at Six about their research into the abundance and impact of tyre particles in the marine environment 🛞

This is an abomination - we need the law to change now

'We are seeing a mother of three children being imprisoned because of a law written in the 1800's.'

Labour MP @stellacreasy shares her thoughts, after a woman in the UK was jailed for taking an abortion pill after the legal time.

@stellacreasy @LukePollard will you support Stella and urge action against this?

Further confirmation that Hyperemesis Gravidarum is due to the GDF15 hormone - shame @newscientist still chose to use the unscientific and ridiculous ‘morning sickness’ term

[Michael Le Page @mjflepage]

We now have definitive evidence that the main cause of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is a hormone called GDF15 - and the great news is that it opens the way to both prevention and treatment 🧵
