- “Brooks radically exposes us to the hidden queerness of Georgian and Victorian science—and shows how nature has always been more sexually diverse than we’ve been told.” This book sounds like a great read! Looking forward to it! 🏳️🌈🌍

- Reposted by Joanna Redfeather"The reason these aspects of our jobs have been so challenging to automate is that they rely on something even more precious than our time: namely, our capacity for scientific decision-making. It is worth considering what we lose when we cede that—and our agency—to machines."

An analysis of 36.5 million papers in the life sciences shows that for females it took 115 days to reach a decision, compared to 101 days for men journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... @plosbiology.org
- This UK government report was just published yesterday. 🌍 High confidence in several areas including: Global ecosystem degradation and collapse threaten UK national security and prosperity. Moderate confidence in some others including risks to UK food security. www.gov.uk/government/p...
- The UK Government has just released a report that, if taken seriously, should transform how we think about climate, nature and security 🚨 Its main conclusion is stark: global ecosystem degradation and collapse is a national emergency 🚨 ➡️ www.naturebasedsolutionsinitiative.org/news/nationa...

- Reposted by Joanna RedfeatherDarren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical. It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it. And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.
- Reposted by Joanna RedfeatherNot one word of condemnation by our government of Trump's illegal act of war in Venezuela. Not one word.

- Reposted by Joanna RedfeatherWhatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.
- Reposted by Joanna RedfeatherThe PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law. After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the “special relationship”, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

- This is also a fantastic advert for drought mitigators in our landscapes, both natural (like beavers 🦫) and human-made. Imagine this happening to dry trees nearby in a heatwave versus well watered ones thanks to a nearby beaver meadow or pond.
