I finally started a food blog! It's my attempt at stringing together some of the jumbled thoughts I have on a daily basis about eating (namely, how much I love doing it), and taking a step towards food writing: https://t.co/0PxAm2wEhQ

I'm only now realising that @LeoDiCaprio tweeted an article written by me... I'm may be many, many months late but this is still pretty cool

Granting the Vjosa River status as a national park would protect the area from dams and a new threat from oil and gas drilling. #VjosaNationalParkNow

What makes this worse is that no one making/editing/approving the video thought there was anything wrong with it. The Ivy Asia delegates a whole continent of people, culture and history to disgusting stereotypes, yet the very people it’s tokenising are never even considered.

[Daniel York Loh @DanielYorkLoh]

The Ivy should just stay out of Asia if this is the kind of racist dreck they use to market it https://t.co/LDoDTt1yUt

Always fun to do another book club pod for @ChemistryWorld, almost 3 years after I was there as an intern! Alondra Oubré's #ScienceinBlackandWhite explores the complex interplay between biology and environment to explain (and debunk) racial disparities. https://t.co/mn0Jje1aPH

I am near speechless. An Exxon official admitting, on camera, how the company works to prevent effective climate action by using third party “whipping boys” so no one knows it’s them.

These recordings should be played on every TV station in the world. https://t.co/Ag0dKyuz6M

This is so important

1/ There's a lot of balls circulating about the UK's pandemic response and specifically *herd immunity*. Yet most of it is fully documented. Here's a thread pulling together some of the key points...

[Gege @YGegeLi]

@ExpressandStar ok but can people stop saying that incidents like this are 'rare' as some kind of buffer because 1) it's not even true and 2) it's irrelevant when the issue at hand is that *actual racial abuse and assault happened*

👂 Listen to the patient!

Fascinating piece by @YGegeLi on work by @ChristinaBYap (@ICR_CTSU) exploring how patient reported outcomes could benefit early trials of new cancer treatments. 💊

Baby sharks, tiny frogs and fairy penguins are just a few of the adorable animals I've written about but these dwarf flying squirrels really take the biscuit. Just look at them!! https://t.co/5CzPCCTpwO

Making the #Vjosa river a national park would protect Europe’s last wild river from damming and other destructive projects - but political corruption is standing in the way. Me for GWC: https://t.co/qwpKUNaQiu

Great news for science, added onto the fact that another 'lost' species of pumpkin toadlet was rediscovered last year, which I wrote about for @Global_Wildlife: https://t.co/uXY4jaxnKQ

Would Boris Johnson really say “let the bodies pile high”

Well here he is talking about the massacre in Libya.

"They have got a brilliant vision to turn Sirte into the next Dubai.. the only thing they have got to do is clear away the dead bodies." laughter.

[Zing Tsjeng @misszing]

Maybe I'm naive but I'm absolutely astonished this made it on a front page of a national paper after making it past editors and subeditors alike.

This is why having people of colour in newsrooms - and actually *listening* to what we have to say - is so important.

My review of the #SuffrageScience podcast - an important listen that celebrates women's achievements in science, while highlighting the gender issues that are still rife in today's society, culture and thinking. "We can and we must do better." https://t.co/bC5fqks0eu

[Gege @YGegeLi]

Very excited to say that my first official food article (on noodles, of course - what else?) has been published! I'm looking forward to returning to these spots soon to get my well-needed noodle fix. https://t.co/ZxgAztE7mT

A government who doesn't like it when people say institutional racism exists appointed a panel of people who don't believe institutional racism exists, and they've produced a report which argues that institutional racism doesn't exist.
