Lives will be at risk. The NHS will face more pressure. Covid is as serious as 'flu and also requires updated seasonal vaccines.

Took the 9yo for an amazing bat walk this evening with saveleatherlane-wp.org.uk . Saw or heard at least 4 different species and now wondering if it’s too late for the lab to switch to echolocation 🤔 if you’re in or near the #chilterns you should go too! 🦇 👂

as an experiment in academic internet stuff I made a 'new-auditory' list for folks interested in audition, hearing, speech, music etc
anybody can join at groups.google.com/g/new-audito...
the 30-year-old AUDITORY list is v cool but has many drawbacks, not least that it runs on 30-yr-old tech
