Some wild accusations from conspiracy theory struck off nurse here.
At what point does she get charged for false allegations?
There are good doctors and paramedics being dragged through the mud all because of misinformation and lies.

I’m begging political queers to understand it’s possible to push for internal change within a party AND that the party at large should not get the positive press of being at Pride until that change happens. I’m sorry you don’t get to wave your red flag in the parade but there’s more at stake here!

Hey #SciSky - I'm pulling together examples of attacks on science & academic freedom in Europe for some colleagues
There's probably many happening beyond what I'm aware of, so I'd be grateful for examples!

My partner got weirded out by how much my new calathea plant wiggles during the day, so of course I had to capture an 11 hour timelapse of it wiggling.

Fyi,
If you lime bike around Londom, please wear a helmet.
A dickhead driver pulled out on me on the cycle lane. I didn't wear a helmet and although I am totally fine, it could have ended so much worse.
So please. Wear a helmet I beg 🙏🏾
