I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about this exciting conservation breakthrough so I could write about it for @newscientist.

Sea star larvae have been stored at −200°C and thawed for the first time, a step towards restoring populations that have been ravaged by disease https://t.co/qSGbIvXL0p

SHE DID IT AGAIN!

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, is back with a new partner and just laid yet another egg.

At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge last week and began interacting with a male.

I would like a survey, not about Long Covid but a generalized health questionnaire about the past five years. No mention of covid, LC or associated conditions.
I think the answers from the general population would be very revealing and would speak more clearly to the damage done.

@dr_emina I'm not sure Atogepant worsened my fatigue, but it definitely gave me nausea. Topiramate gives me nasty side effects too, so I only take a low dose. I hope things improve for you soon.

[Becci Jewell @JewellBecci]

@dr_emina Yes, I had that and it also made a lot of my hair fall out. When taken with Topiramate, it was the only thing that's really helped with the headaches though.

@GeorgeSorley1 That's very cool, George. We'll have to wait and see where the Shannon's first shout is (unless it's happened already and I've missed it).

[Becci Jewell @JewellBecci]

Saturday's shout to the chain walk turned out to be our last ever shout for the Mersey.

"If the pandemic began with messages of solidarity, it rapidly devolved into reassurances that only the truly vulnerable would experience COVID’s greatest harms."

What a fantastic photo.

This green turtle had just laid her eggs and was returning to the water when a hatchling joined her on the long walk back to the ocean - one of them for the very first time 💚🐢🥹

Hi @Gatwick_Airport, please can I check if it's ok to park a VW Caddy Maxi (long wheelbase) van in your Long Stay South car park?

@dr_emina I've had some success with it, although not without side effects. Happy to DM you more info.

[Becci Jewell @JewellBecci]

My older brother, Tom, is running an ultramarathon for the @RNLI next month. If you could donate a couple of quid, I know it'd help him up the hills (all 6069 ft of them!). Thank you 🛟

“If five years ago, we were to imagine that a completely new disease, which for some can cause medium- to long-term and potentially disabling symptoms in approximately 3% of the population…we would be enormously concerned.”

@jonathanlorie @StanfordsTravel @BathSpaUni @hilarybradt Thank you @jonathanlorie, it was a great evening. I definitely haven't been reading @hilarybradt's excellent new book instead of working on my @BathSpaUni assignments 😬
