What if one organism could copy itself, merge with others, and weave vast living networks through its environment? These abilities may seem alien, but they're actually not so distant. Meet the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi beneath your feet 🦠

Cambridge researcher Dr Jennifer McGaley from the Crop Science Centre at @camplantsci has filmed these fungi in action for the very first time. Here, McGaley explains how her 56-hour marathon opened up the mysterious life of these organisms.

On World Bee Day, we’re spotlighting the scientists working to understand – and protect – the pollinators our food systems depend on 🐝

One-third of our food depends on bees, yet their world is collapsing.

Professor Mark Brown, the new Director of the @ZoologyMuseum at the @CamZoology, has spent decades tracking their decline. His work reveals the stressful life of pollinators, who are beset by diseases, pesticides, and parasites.

How bad will climate change get? Sometimes things change so quickly you hardly notice, and over the last year, amidst climate horrors and climate suffering, the good news has come fast enough it has been hard to keep track. (1/x)

While humans carry out social distancing, a group of 14 elephants broke into a village in Yunan province, looking for corn and other food. They ended up drinking 30kg of corn wine and got so drunk that they fell asleep in a nearby tea garden. 😂❤️

Excellent thread on China's response to Coronavirus, and why it'll be tough to replicate elsewhere

[Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis]

If we want to understand how powerful an opponent SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is, let’s take a look what has been required to stop it in China. The Chinese government has essentially used a social nuclear weapon in its efforts. Let’s talk about this, to understand what US is facing. 1/
