Here is an animation depicting the spread of seismic waves across the globe and to the antipode from the M7.8 earthquake that struck the Philippines. The entire Earth shakes for hours after powerful events as such!

[Shalini Sharma 🇮🇳 @nutshal]

Philippines Earthquake: People at homes/schools with immediate open spaces got saved. They were not in high raise buildings. This should be a grim reminder for India too where track record of designing for and dealing with hazards -fire to floods to earthquakes- is already poor.

सुबह सुबह ये बात मैं बहुत भारी मन से लिख रहा हूं। पिछले कुछ महीनों के फील्ड वर्क, रिसर्च, अध्ययन और विशेषज्ञों से बात के बाद मेरा यह विश्वास और दृढ़ हुआ है कि हम आधुनिकता और संपत्ति के डेरे, जो हमारे शहर बना रहे हैं वो हमारी नेचुरल वेल्थ और संसाधनों को पूरी तरह नष्ट कर रहे हैं।
जो झीलें, तालाब और जलधारायें हमारे पास हुआ करती थीं उनका जलागम नष्ट करके पिछले कुछ दशकों में ये शहरी बसावटें खड़ी की गईं हैं और इस कारण पैदा हुआ ख़तरा हम नहीं देख पा रहे।
सच ये है कि शहरों ने न केवल आसपास की वॉटर बॉडीज़ को प्रदूषित और नष्ट कर दिया है वह दूर दराज़ के गांवों और कस्बों का पानी खींचकर अपनी जल संकट की भरपाई कर रहे हैं।
बढ़ते हीटआईलैंड प्रभाव के पीछे एक कारण यह भी है। हमारे शहरों में ग्राउंड वॉटर की समस्या का बढ़ना इसका एक और संकेतक है। मैंने कार्बनकॉपी पॉडकास्ट के लिए इस बारे में दो विशेषज्ञों आईआईटी दिल्ली के डॉ अजय माथुर और संरक्षण जीवविज्ञानी और रीवाइ्ल्डर विजय धस्माना और पर्यावरण कार्यकर्ता भवरीन कंधारी से बात की है। पूरी बातचीत का लिंक कमेंट सेक्शन में है। अगर संभव हो तो देखें .. हो सकता है बहुत रुचिकर नहीं लगे लेकिन आपको जानकारी ज़रूर मिलेगी।

@SandeepMall Environment quality (life chances for current & future gen) and passport worth is much better, I'm told by friends who moved out/never returned.

Why do the villagers of Uttarakhand need roads? These roads are only for religious tourism, which is not the same as pilgrimage.

@vy0mbhatia Such a cool initiative! Looomg forward to your stories.

This is a great podcast even better than the film in terms of the depth of content. Congrats dear @manishchandi and Mr. @vardhanpatankar for that excellent conversation with @RahulGandhi - learnt so much. Here's the link do listen. https://t.co/rsdeormr7H

You can’t plant your way out of destroying natural barriers.

In Pune, alert citizens track, document, and confront "development". At a meeting, one asks: When will you sit here as a Punekar, and not merely as an official? Why can’t you save what’s already defending us?

Who are these wonderful doctors who went on hunger strike on a public health issue?
"..repeated fatal poisoning cases in western Odisha led clinicians at Veer Surendra Sai Medical College to undertake a hunger strike in 2019" which led to 2023 paraquat ban

This is a fantastic course on evolutionary biology! I watched the lectures while these were being produced by @SutirthDey and @SMC_IISERPune

I last studied bio formally in class 12th, and this brought my curiosity back to life.

Sharp, engaging. Highly recommended!

[Sutirth Dey @SutirthDey]

Registrations are now open for my NPTEL course on Evolutionary Biology. This is a very basic introduction to the subject.
Please spread the word.

10 years ago, a pediatric in Guwahati made similar observations in a citizens meeting linking air pollution with metal health of infants. Drs were noticing the effects, but city folks resisted researchers who wanted to install air quality monitors.

[Warrior Moms @Warriormomsin]

Alarming findings from @aiims_newdelhi; air pollution particles can cross the placental barrier, disrupt fetal growth, and increase risks of low birth weight, preterm birth, and pregnancy complications.

All has been said many times over but what remains unclear is why protecting mothers and children is still not an urgent national priority :(

An invisible crisis is unfolding across Delhi. Ground level ozone exceeded standards at more than half of monitoring stations this May, with some locations recording nearly 3 times the safe limit. Our children cannot wait. We need urgent, science based action on ozone pollution.
