Normalise emailing people to say you read and enjoyed their work. Academia can be a bleak conveyorbelt of endless negative feedback. Sometimes it's hard to know whether anyone values your work. That's why it means so much when someone takes the time to message and say so! Be that person.

We invite Member States, partners, researchers, civil society and others to comment on the approach, indicators, data sources and feasibility across different contexts. Deadline for comments: 13 November 2026, 23:59 CET Learn more: bit.ly/3WbSB6v

I have only just heard of this and I must share: "Performed by one or more saunamasters, it turns a classic sauna session into a staged experience where timing, atmosphere, and movement are carefully crafted to guide the audience through an emotional and sensory journey." aufguss-wm.com/wm/

This is a remarkable piece by @premthakker.bsky.social It shows that Netanyahu is the embodiment of the phrase "every accusation is a confession". open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

"You could say Fonteles learned the right lessons from Zohran Mamdani’s success: not that flashy fonts and engaging videos win elections; but that his job was to make the voter pay attention to the message, whatever that meant. And oh did he!" zeteo.com/p/lulas-incr...

Great post by @marcbonten.bsky.social on the silent pandemic of AMR and the difficulties of attributing mortality to AMR mbonten.substack.com/p/amr-the-si...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

So, as expected, the pedestrianisation of Camden High St is being made permanent, with further consultation to extend the pedestrianisation towards Chalk Farm to take place next year. #Camden #CamdenHighStreet

It's so exhausting that this is still ongoing and that we have to repeat the same arguments over and over again. www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Bottled water and 4 minute noodles are not going to help us in a nuclear war. We'll all be obliterated a thousand times over. If he's talking about food or energy security, then it's the government that needs to take actions to make the UK less reliant on imports.

This was an enriching conversation. youtu.be/652EVCK1UoQ?...

This long thread on the future of AMOC concludes where I find myself: while the scientific indicators remain debated, the worst case scenario is sufficiently alarming we should be prepared. In any case, we need to the reduce the threats of global warming for all the other reasons.

Don't happen to have any expert electron microscopists reading this who could stand to answer a couple of questions?

Morning swim. Water 11°, poolside 11° Not quite ice cream headache territory (that happens to me in single digits) but cold enough for my toes and fingers to complain. (Also my brain when I found every changing stall had peoples clothes in while they were swimming 🤬). And breathe 🧘‍♀️

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.
