@Trayset @ProfBillMcGuire There is indisputable evidence of climate change. That climate change is happening is not in question. It is vital to our future and the future of our planet that we take action to address it.

The antidote to arrogance is not ignorance, but profound humility. It’s the understanding that a whale’s migration, a mycorrhizal network, and a mangrove’s root system represent a wisdom we are only beginning to decode. Our role is student, not master.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

The gall is incredible. We must never let Thornberry, or anybody else who ran cover for Israel, wriggle out of it. They defended what many people, most particularly Palestinians, told them would be a genocide. Now, with Gaza destroyed, they speak up. Too fucking late.

Great news from the Loch of the Lowes near Dunkeld in Perthshire. The first osprey chick has hatched. Fingers crossed for more.

You were part of a cabinet that armed and supported a genocidal apartheid Israeli state.

Spare us the crocodile tears.

No amount of revisionism erases your role in that. You’re complicit, whether you like it or not.

A 50-day-old infant in Gaza was injured in an Israeli airstrike last week and has already lost his leg. Doctors now fear he may also lose his hand due to the severity of his injuries. His mother was killed in the same strike.

I have no words.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip live yet another night of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

According to the latest toll, six civilians were killed and multiple others injured following at least three Israeli airstrikes on residential apartments in Gaza City in the middle of the night while people were asleep.

Thousands of Israeli violations were documented since the so-called ceasefire was announced in Cairo, with daily Israeli attacks continue across the besieged strip.

@scitechgirl It has also recently been discovered that immune therapy can stop the immune system from attacking islet cells. Also we can make knew Islet cells from a patient's own cells so there will be no need for anti rejecting drugs in repopulating the pancreas.

🚨 THE TINY ORGAN THAT COULD CHANGE DIABETES FOREVER?

What if people with diabetes no longer needed daily insulin injections or constant blood sugar checks?

Scientists have created a miniature pancreas grown from living cells that can sense blood sugar levels and release insulin on its own—just like a healthy pancreas does.

This tiny lab-grown tissue is designed to replace the function that stops working in diabetes. While it's still in the early stages, researchers say it could be one of the most exciting steps yet toward a true biological cure rather than lifelong symptom management.

Could this tiny organ be the breakthrough millions have been waiting for? The answer may be closer than anyone expected.
Science is rewriting the future.

On Monday, Israeli airstrikes (see previous post) *again* damaged our NRC office in Tyre, South Lebanon.

The indiscriminate attack caused severe damage to Jabal Amel Hospital. Four people were killed, and 127 injured.

Patients, who should have been safe inside the hospital, were injured. So were 39 hospital staff, including doctors, nurses and employees who should have been protected while caring for others.

Hospitals must never be targeted. To strike them is a war crime under international law.

For how much longer will these strikes in densely packed urban areas be allowed to continue with such impunity?

This BBC news footage is filmed from metres from our office in Tyre:

Israel announces that surviving Palestinians will be expelled from Gaza.

No headlines.

No statements of outrage from politicians.

Silence.

Scientists were warning us about the dangers of melting polar ice caps and how the loss of Arctic ice impacts the entire world, and we had a small window to try to correct it, only for AI centres to pop up everywhere and, check notes, destroy the planet at an even faster rate?

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

In a powerful declaration of solidarity, dockworkers’ unions from ports around Europe and the Mediterranean issued a call to action against Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and the militarization of global shipping lanes.

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

“We do not load death.”

Dockworkers’ unions from more than 35 ports sign joint declaration calling for an end to Israel’s genocide and apartheid against Palestinians and for a day of international struggle of dockworkers in October.
