I love this so much.
Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

UK University funding is a mess at the moment. Student fees frozen while costs go up. Fewer international students coming to subsidise courses for UK students. No quotas, so ‘top’ Universities take more students to pay the bills.
