I can quite confidently say that Trump's approval rating in the UK is pretty dire. I mean, his name is a synonym with fart, yet I'm pretty sure which one most Brits would rather be stuck in an elevator with.

Unbelievable. At least our King has some class. I thought that the USA were anti-royalty and anti-communist, but it feels like Trump is pro-both, as long as it serves his pockets and ego.

Today my DPD driver delivered boxes of water softener salt. As I was joking around about being unable to lift them and congratulating him on carrying them easily, he revealed his mother was a Bulgarian weightlifting champion in the 80s. Which is cool.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

My four favourite facts about the cockchafer beetle: 1. It's called a cockchafer beetle. 2. It’s also sometimes known as a “billywitch”. 3. It’s unusually loud and clumsy by beetle standards and bangs into lots of things when it flies into your house by mistake. 4. It looks like this, close up.

Loved this post from a postdoc who lived through the Bolsonaro years in Brazil: "The best 'fuck you' to fascists? Thriving. Publish that paper. Build that collaboration. Laugh with labmates. Science outlives dictators—but only if we stay in the fight." www.reddit.com/r/labrats/co...

Wangari Maathai (Nobel Peace Prize 2004) was a Kenyan biologist, creator of the Green Belt Movement to restore African forests. Her work in spite of opposition by corrupt governments inspires us. She was threatened and jailed, but prevailed. For the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

On days like these I remember that Drew Barrymore clip and feel inspired to dance in the rain, but then remember that I'm in the UK and it's 4°C outside and that's hail that'll sting you so I change track to a cuppa and a book instead

"Jordan is ready to declare war on Israel" Trump's 'peace' plans are going about as well as you would expect, given his grasp of complexity. The US and Israel are now isolated together, against the world, in the eyes of the world.
