Life was very messy for me growing up. I survived with the encouragement of educators and was able to overcome adversity.
I was lucky. But life shouldn't about luck. Policy can help young people like me thrive. Imagine a place where all kids get a go?! I explore this with The Smith Family.

Truly one of the greatest scientific images I have ever seen
Our new paper (with @biotay.bsky.social) is out and on the cover story of @currentbiology.bsky.social !!!! Veronika, a Carinthian mountain cow flexibly uses a “multi-purpose tool” to scratch herself. A video and more information will follow in the comments.

"So, for example, in the British House of Commons any direct reference to a member as lying is unacceptable, even if the allegation is substantively true."
What?!
Made me wonder, is bullsh*t unparliamentary language? (Yes, it is listed as an example)

Something I found interesting about this article was that at the end, the people they interviewed said we probably do have plastics in our body, but they were unsure on how bad they were for our health:
![Screenshot of the Guardian article. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/13/microplastics-human-body-doubt
Excerpt reads:
"‘On the safe side’
[Image of strawberries in a punnett and microplastics]
In the meantime, should the public be worried about MNPs in their bodies?
Given the very limited evidence, Prof Lamoree said she could not say how concerned people should be: “But for sure I take some precautions myself, to be on the safe side. I really try to use less plastic materials, especially when cooking or heating food or drinking from plastic bottles. The other thing I do is ventilate my house.”
“We do have plastics in us – I think that is safe to assume,” said Materić. “But real hard proof on how much is yet to come. There are also very easy things that you can do to hugely reduce intake of MNPs. If you are concerned about water, just filtering through charcoal works.” Experts also advise avoiding food or drink that has been heated in plastic containers.
Rauert thinks most of the MNPs that people ingest or breathe in are probably expelled by their bodies, but said it can’t hurt to reduce your plastics exposure. Furthermore, she said, it remains vital to resolve the uncertainty over what MNPs are doing to our health: “We know we’re being exposed, so we definitely want to know what happens after that and we’ll keep working at it, that’s for sure.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hptasymztsll7fhgp3vpamin/bafkreiful3arm63bi6e56v2f7v4iq5b5ncgikhqsmhqrdtwwm6q3gg4cbm@jpeg)
