Great to see how Deborah Cohen's project on psychiatric broadcasting at the BBC is developing. So many overlooked voices from a time when psychiatric programming was controlled by the Religion Dept being uncovered! #INSBS2024 #BBC #mediahistory

Chris Martz, a student meteorologist and #climatechange denier, is a new Big Oil darling for publishing disinformation like this heat record map that quickly spread on social media. What it's missing is context: how often are records broken? What's the wet bulb highs? 1/2 ctd⬇️

Well, it is official! 😆😁 The gallery I have been curating over the past few months with Wellcome Collection is open. The Kola Nut Cannot Be Contained is about the entangled global histories, vibrant traditions, and future innovations surrounding this small West African fruit.

Toronto sits in a basin surrounded by the Greenbelt, a system of woods and wetlands that perform a crucial role of absorbing water. The Ontario government recently voted to open them up to development, paving them over, giving rainfall nowhere to go. It's only gonna get worse.

You thought Project 2025 was just a threat after the election? It's actually happening *right now.* The fossil fuel industry's favorite Senators, Manchin and Barrasso, just put forward a plan to fast track fossil fuel projects. Here's the deal 🧵

A masterclass of #scicomm by Rob Dunn at #WCEH2024. Littered with comedy, unexpected examples, & multiple signposts to lead the audience on a breakneck journey through the science of mutualisms. And yes, apparently trees can be assholes. #envhist

Decoupling CO2 emissions from GDP is not happening on a global scale and in the few places it is, it is slow, insufficient and unjust. An alternative path is required for climate stability, international justice and away from the death-grip of growth.
