Hawthorn is one of my favorite plants. My painting is from a photo I took earlier in the year (for the flowers) and a branch of berries from a tree on the Nunnington Ridge near where I live. @awatercolouraday.bsky.social @flowerpainting.bsky.social #watercolour #watercolor #flowerpainting

Every laboratory needs one, too - as a source of serendipity & chaos which lead to unexpected advances - The Scientific Meowthod! @earthandenvleeds.bsky.social @priestleycentre.bsky.social @egu-ere.bsky.social Even Nicolai Tesla had a cat & Socrates had a feline assistant.

Kamchatka tsunami waves apparently travel backwards in time. The quake struck offshore Kamchatka at about 11:24 Wednesday local time, but arrived in Hawaii the previous Tuesday evening there! And all because it crossed the International Date Line. @egu-ere.bsky.social @earthandenvleeds.bsky.social

Recent top 10 largest earthquake had 6 preshocks >6.6. The largest came last, between the others. Ther'll be more siginificant post-shocks until that section of the plate boundary stabilises. Images courtesy of USGS. #earthquake @egu.eu @egu-ere.bsky.social @bgs.ac.uk @earth-science.bsky.social

I was in Waterstones in Wimbledon in London last Friday. They have 3 times as much shelf space dedicated to Smart Thinking than to Military. Great progress, but let's DEMILITARISE bookshops totally. #Peace
