the room next door - Donald Trump and Keir Starmer

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

Beyond belief. Is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? It’s time for our PM to pick a side

Snowdrops provide an early source of nectar for insects including this Hoverfly.

Here’s some great brain building in action. Watch how mom engages baby in a two step game here. There’s the gentle head tilt and the “ahhh” sound. (Thread 🧵)

Over on Twitter, @lynburnnurture.bsky.social offered some great ideas to support children struggling to separate from parents at the beginning of the day. I thought Blue Sky folk should share in those insights. Whatever we can do to help calm stress systems helps everyone: children, parents & staff.

Find someone who looks at you like this Fieldfare looks at these berries! 😍😁🐦 #birds 🪶

Still proud of my latest book. ☺️

Wonderful to watch this Barn Owl hunting on the Somerset Levels this evening! 😍🦉 When did you last see a Barn Owl? 😊

My middle daughter is doing 10k for Breast Cancer. If you are happy to share it would be appreciated. Bo is 13. Thanks all - www.justgiving.com/page/bouffen...

Why do politicians think that the way to improve education is to have a dig at parents? Who are they trying to impress? You won’t improve education by shaming and blaming parents. It’s likely to have the opposite effect. Are they really so out of touch? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Labour must seize the moment to show child poverty matters in push for growth www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Grounded in and tethered by love. I can't think of a better way to hold on when the water gets swift and deep.

Want to help butterflies and moths thrive this year? Grow the plants their caterpillars feed on, such as nettles, lady's smock, honesty & hawthorn. This can be as simple as leaving a small area of a garden or green space to go wild! More ideas for helping insects: bit.ly/4ae2zG1 #nature #pollinators

Starling on tip-toes! 😁 #Birds 🐦🪶

Over 1,000 joined together to block the strand today outside the RCJ including @jonathanpienews.bsky.social & Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall . We will not be swayed by the extreme sentences handed down to those peaceful protestors sounding the alarm on climate collapse – justice for the #LordWalney16

If true, this is unbelievably reprehensible - an early test of Labour Government’s green commitment and they’ve comprehensively failed. @zero-hour.bsky.social

Donald Trump will be indoors for the inauguration with his billionaire pals. His core supporters will be left outside in the cold. Think about that.

The countdown is on and our final ‘10 birds’ guide is here... Spotting these on your patch? Now that’s lucky! 😍 With the #BigGardenBirdwatch just days away, sign up here: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

Is Trump suggesting state owned media? I can’t stress how dangerous this is. I’m also concerned no one will care because they’ll get to keep their TikTok

I've reached about 50% of my target participants - please help me by sparing 10 mins to complete this anonymous survey - please lend your voice to my doctoral research (English state school system) #UkEd #UKEdGovs #Headteachers #Edusky

Bars of soap usually need less packaging than liquid hand-soaps. There are lots of eco-friendly options, made with natural ingredients, and many are plastic-free - so choosing soap bars is one way to reduce plastic pollution. A few suggestions: bit.ly/46DTTGY

A really random plea if people could repost please? We are two planks short of V4 silent oak pool NE31 laminate flooring. It is a very long story and yes we are idiots. It is discontinued and out of stock even at V4. Putting out this plea in case someone, somewhere, has a few planks!
