I found a $19 billion startup that began by accident.

Here's the story of WhatsApp (and how 1 Apple update changed everything)👇

Coronavirus cases per 10 million of population across countries with the highest number of cases. I have added Sweden and Belgium to the graph.
I am sorry I have not responded to your comments on the previous post, was not expecting such an overwhelming response.

Previous @pewresearch surveys have found that 22% of U.S. adults use @Twitter. Our recent study went a step further to tell us about how these Americans use the platform by linking survey data to actual user behavior: https://t.co/b17MohN2AN

The @U_Unbelief report "Understanding Unbelief: Atheists and agnostics around the world" by @LoieLee @SSBullivant Miguel Farias & Jonathan Lanman should be required reading for anyone trying to get to grips with non-religious worldviews. #unbeliefrome https://t.co/zsuPnIoQAe

@RShillitoe @U_Unbelief I had no idea - fantastic news about the recordings :) Natter later boss!

Big shoutout and congratulations @U_Unbelief and #unbeliefrome for unpacking the meaning of unbelief today. Question from London to Rome: Any takeaway points on the relationship between unbelievers and 'spirituality' (ie holism/theism; self/tradition; practice/belief; etc)?

[Alp Arat @alparat]

Just trying to make sense of how the 'nonreligious' today compare to the 'spiritual, but not religious' of the turn of the century.

@TitusHjelm We've all done that ;) Jokes aside, can't think of a more universal candidate for a sociological illustration of the difference between expressions vs conditions of belief today.

Do you teach mindfulness?

Are you based in the UK?

Would you like your thoughts, experiences, and views about the past, present and future of mindfulness to be represented in a landmark study?

If so, please visit https://t.co/kTG3w14iQQ to take part in our study.

Always a pleasure to speak to @davidcornock. Just finished an interview on a delightfully sunny day on the topic of mindfulness in politics for The Week in Westminster. Look out for the segment on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday!
