As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

I tell myself that I’m not consuming too much news and that I’m not allowing what I do read to upset my equilibrium. It’s mostly working apart from how at least one of my eyes is involuntarily twitching at any given time.

An Irish rainforest is an incredibly special thing.
But there's something else that rivals it: a young rainforest ecosystem in formation.
It just screams 'hope'. That yes, things CAN get better.
