Big news on de-extinction! I first saw Dr Beth Shapiro on a 2001 @Channel4 documentary called Extinct shaving a bit of dodo leg bone for DNA sequencing, now she's hoping to bring the dodo back to life. My take ⬇️

Thanks to our incredible #SeriesB funders, we're thrilled to announce the launch of our new Avian Genomics Group, whose first undertaking will be the de-extinction of the iconic #dodo 🦤 bird. #itiscolossal

@JeanCBrown @autisticgardner Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it/found it useful! 😊 I agree, there is so much misinformation, it’s alarming

@plumandmustard @autisticgardner Plastic grass actually has as many or more maintenance requirements than real grass (especially if you embrace natural lawns rather than perfect green ones) - you can see some advice from the manufacturers of plastic grass in my post ♥️ https://t.co/yL6gzLKNSG

the @Waterstones best books of 2022 lists for nature&travel + for popular science are 74% male authors and the nature writing section of my beloved @WaterstonesNG was 77% male. I pulled together my fave non-fiction books by women as a salve #nonfiction

@PeteMRCooper So strange when people get so wound up about the prospect of having one (1) meal without meat, like they’ve never eaten a cheese sandwich for lunch or cereal for breakfast

My review of You Can Have a Better Period by @eatlovemove👇 I have sheets of info from this book stuck to my fridge, a refreshing change from the unattainable suggestions of some in the period wellbeing space ☺️ https://t.co/wMSI34CDnt @watkinsbooks @WatkinsWisdom #periods

The audacity we have as a species pretending we're a league above every other species 😅 I've written about why we need to get rid of the imaginary dividing line between humans and other beings 😊👇

We are sure that we are the most evolved living species on this planet?

Ever wondered why sometimes there are loads of jellyfish washed up on the beach? ⛱️ 👇

@arjones77 Thanks for reading! I agree that calling people names isn't remotely helpful. It's understandable to think it might be harmful but it's extremely unusual for ivy to harm a tree or a wall, and it can often provide benefits. I'm glad you found the post useful 😊😊

[Hayley Kinsey @hayulls]

Ivy has roots in the ground and isn't a parasite so only uses soft clingers to grab onto a tree/wall. When you cut off its roots it can't get water from the ground so panics and puts out roots further up; this is what damages walls (maybe trees?) not the ivy as it grows. Post 👇
