Fortran (@fortranlang) is now #8 at TIOBE Index and continues rising. With new compilers maturing quickly, Fortran will become a very nice language for numerical computing.

I support these suggested actions on #Covid and #LongCovid. This is important not only ethically, but also financially and for our mental health. Many Long Covid patients are gaslit, made to feel like modern-day hysterics, even though the evidence base on its effects is clear.

@rahuldave @prefix_dev @fortranlang There's a good tutorial in the rattler-build docs on exactly that 🙂 I suspect we'll see many more examples when/if rattler-build gets integrated into Pixi 🤞 https://t.co/pP9085NYGT

🚨New post: "Creating a Conda package from Fortran using fpm and rattler-build" 🚨 In this post, I explore how modern tooling like fpm and rattler-build can dramatically streamline creating Conda packages from Fortran code.

Last week I had the pleasure of hosting a Euro-@CSDMS workshop to envision future models of the natural world. Inspirational discussions & tangible next steps towards a thriving international community pioneering the next generation of environmental models!

Today's office! I'm on my way to Barcelona for the @EternalPharma general assembly to discuss all things #GreenPharma. It'll be a long day (5am-10pm 😴), but definitely better than flying.

We have a very safe, efficacious paediatric SARS2 mRNA vax, used 6m+.
Reduced dose and age minimises small risk of myocarditis seen in adolescents.
This sobering study by @katebrown220, @chrischirp et al shows 6m+ kids are always at risk from acute COVID.

Important 🧵on our new peer-reviewed paper:

The pandemic is as bad as it ever was for babies - in year to Aug 2023, 6,300 babies under 1 were admitted to hospital wholly or partly BECAUSE of Covid.

They are ONLY age group where admissions have NOT gone down over time 1/17

#SETACVienna is coming! Session on exposure modelling titled 'Advances in Exposure Modelling Towards a Safe and Sustainable Tomorrow for both humans and the environment' - https://t.co/DYqGVMrMwh - deadline 20th November @todd_gouin @samharrison7 @agentmercury @praetoriusA

Schools from United Learning in England are forcing students & parents to sign an ‘Attendance Pledge’ which requires them to:

“ALWAYS COME INTO SCHOOL, EVEN IF YOU FEEL UNWELL”

🤯 This is unbelievable!

This will NOT reduce illness absence, it will just spread it to others.

Good article covering river pollution with some coverage of the nested challenge of AMR and covers our #poosticks study https://t.co/anvC1zH3jf

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

With mild infection in healthy participants who received a #SARSCoV2 challenge there was evidence of persistent cognitive and memory changes at least one year after Covid, compared with uninfected controls

Very pleased to see our review on microplastic pollution published - sources, global distribution, escalating impacts & solutions. Thank you co-authors @WinnieCJ @SabinePahl @BartKoelmans @KRaubenheimer & Julien Boucher. The way we produce use & dispose of plastics has to change

1/2 Important & timely new @ScienceMagazine paper on #microplastics led -fittingly- by the #PopeOfMicroplastics @ProfRThompson concludes:
"The evidence summarized in this review emphasizes that while measures on #macroplastic are of critical importance...

If you are concerned about the UK's divergence from the EU's precautionary principle on pesticides - by hugely increasing the MRLs of numerous known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors, some by several orders of magnitude - then please sign this petition! https://t.co/8WtGA6FKzN
