RIP, the Guardian-Observer 1993-2025. It wasn't a natural death.

The biggest journalistic bloodletting in a generation.

Rest in power ✊

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety:
🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins
🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage
📉your stress hormone(cortisol) will drop significantly

Many of our brain pathways evolved to motivate us to forage for plants-they're still very active

#WomeninSTEM - Stimming is healthy! 🧪
“It's crucial for society – especially parents, teachers and employers – to become more accepting of stimming. Research shows that greater understanding leads to greater acceptance.”

Stimming is a form of self-soothing, very common in autists.

German does yearning so well. ’Fernweh’, ‘far-sickness’, is the longing for distant places, while ‘Sehnsucht’ is a wistful desire for something intangible. #shoutoutforgerman
This week let's celebrate the German language!

👉 Your favourite German word?
👉 That incredible trip to Deutschland?
👉 Your German teacher, aka the best teacher of all time?

Use #ShoutOutForGerman and show everyone what German means to you!

But no doubt some Republican will be along any minute to try and ban that too.

Use discount code LOPEZ200 to save $200 on registration. Of course, there are workshops and sessions on Microsoft Fabric, but also on SQL Server/Azure SQL DB

Hope to see you there!
