Nick Acheson's 'witty and wise opinion piece and your staycation feature were refreshing additions to a consistently excellent magazine.' — Ben Hoare 🇺🇦 💚

Way to finish the week! It's a grisly, gruesome, slippery, slimy special issue of The Week Junior Science+Nature, packed with icky sticky #Halloween fun! Expect all kinds of spine-tingling delights from Peter Gallivan Dr Jess French Ben Hoare 🇺🇦 💚 MetJam Raspberry Pi Foundation Maddie Moate Beronda L. Montgomery—🌿#LessonsFromPlants🌿

Phenomenal. Bar-tailed Godwit has broken its own record: a first-year bird (five months old!) has flown 13,560 km—just shy of the direct flight limit of a Boeing 787—from Alaska to Tasmania, seemingly non-stop, in just 11 days (avg. speed: c.51 km/hr).

I can't wait to get hold of this amazing new book by Ben Hoare 🇺🇦 💚 - is that a many-headed hydra daisy or a slime mould on a bed of feathers? Either way I'm in!

Celebrating the publications of these beautiful DK Books UK out today! 🥳📚🥂🎉

Congrats to Ben Hoare 🇺🇦 💚 Annie Roth Classic FM and all the incredibly talented authors, illustrators, translators with books publishing today 🤗

Today I can share I'm challenging the PM on the legality of abandoning key Net Zero commitments

I believe the timeline for the UK to meet Net Zero cannot be changed at will by the PM – I contend that he does not have the legal right

One of the children's authors at The Week Junior Book Awards was wearing this fox shirt.

I am definitely going to get this to wear in school and on TV!

What do people think of this shirt? #TWJBookAwards

Two minutes with the ivy yesterday - batman hoverfly, ivy bee, green bottle and who else Dr Erica McAlister ?

*Please* don’t cut your ivy until about March after the birds have eaten the berries. Too many species depend on it between now and then ❤️

Sick to the core to see this.
A tree known & loved by millions.
Stories, memories, histories, lives, all entwined with it.
100s of years of patient growth, felled in a few minutes, the day the State of Nature report is published.
War waged on nature by individuals & government.

I’ve just watched this on catch-up. I found it eloquent, compelling and very moving. If you haven’t seen it - and whatever preconceptions you bring with you - it is worth watching.
