Whether you feel like you won or lost today, you have to ask yourself a very important question: Am I going to try to bring peace to the world or am I going to exacerbate the divide?

Noteable is a great service for using computational notebooks who have been great every time I've contacted them. Free to Edinburgh uni members. Can't wait to see how they might be used by @GeosciencesEd in our #DistanceLearning next semester

The scariest part of being alive is the fact that we can be anything in the world while we’re here.

10 economies (UK included) account for 91% of all global patent families. This group leads rest of the world in creating new manufacturing tech. @UNIDO ’s recent reminder “History’s technological revolutions have divided the world into leading and following economies” says all

When the Moon first formed, four billion years ago, it was 20x closer than it is today, 400x larger on the sky, and Tides were 8,000x higher.

@BernieSanders My dissertation 4 years ago asked “How did Political measures lead to the Failure of the War on Drugs?”. It is most of all a political legacy issue and seeing this makes me hope for the continued overhaul of an unequal, unjust policy implementation process.

“El mediterráneo ha sido un puente en la historia, ahora se convierte en una frontera” - @PresidenteRIE hones on a key limit to inter-continental growth: the business and governance blindness to the potential of cross-Mediterranean interaction. Where is the love? #EuropeSummit19
