Bridget McKenzie describes Ben Roberts-Smith being arrested for war crimes as a “tragedy”. 🙄
I think a real tragedy for Australia is having politicians who aren’t bothered by war crimes. #auspol
Why has it taken so long (power of fuel industry) we could’ve been ahead of the game. Sighs as the world heats up more…
China has large renewable energy uptake. They probably foresaw the current issues n are breathing fresh air n not adding to the pollution with a useless war…why are we so slow
Protected and endangered species in the gulf of Mexico are in the line of fire from Trump as he claims national emergency requires USA to drill for oil/gas in the gulf that overrides any care of environment/biodiversity. No oil/gas company has requested such an action. I do hope it will be blocked
Why we haven’t moved to electric as a matter of priority years ago is costing us now -as the scientists told us
Science News from research organizations Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing - Colonies surged 15-fold A lab-made diet supercharged bee colonies and could help save our food supply. Date: March 27, 2026 Source: University of Oxford Summary: Scientists have developed a breakthrough "superfood" for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled tri-als, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.
Thank you University of Oxford! 🐝🌎
China is way ahead of the game with renewable energy, perhaps they think ahead? Why has the rest of the world been so slow? Money over people
Black-and-white studio portrait of Selma Lagerlöf. A dignified, middle-aged white woman with light eyes and softly wavy hair pulled back sits facing the camera with a calm, contemplative expression. She is wearing a dark velvet jacket adorned with intricate beaded embroidery. She holds an open book resting in her lap. The classic painted backdrop and gentle studio lighting lend the photograph a serene, scholarly atmosphere, perfectly capturing the quiet strength and intellectual depth of Sweden’s beloved storyteller and literary pioneer.
Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf died #OTD in 1940.
First woman to win the Nobel Prize in #Literature (1909) "in appreciation of the lofty idealism, vivid imagination & spiritual perception that characterize her writings." First woman granted a membership of the Swedish Academy, 1914. #WHM #litsky
And you’ve done your bit to reduce air pollution which is a killer. Thx
Air pollution from trucks and buses is costing Australians about $6.2bn each year due to the health effects of exposure to vehicle exhaust, a University of Melbourne study has found.

ya, if you're smart enough to understand it.
More hope from mRNA vaccines. In this instance, individualized vaccines were given to women with triple negative breast cancer following surgery and adjuvant therapy. The results are quite remarkable. Despite cancer finding a ‘T cell-evading’ work-around in some patients.

These fools are copying the wrong playbook aiming for American rules where the rich take n fk with everything we hold dear so they can fatten themselves like Gina
Yes n thanks to them we arrive then at answers which may or may not evolve further
When our car does so much thinking for us what are we risking? Loss of nav skills, decision making n who has control?
Black-and-white historical portrait of Constance Tipper, the pioneering English metallurgist and crystallographer. She is gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. Tipper has short, neatly styled dark hair parted on the side with soft waves framing her face. She wears a patterned blouse or dress with a high collar, evoking early-to-mid-20th-century professional women's attire. The soft lighting highlights her determined features against a plain, neutral background, capturing her as a trailblazing scientist whose work on brittle fracture revolutionized materials engineering and saved lives during and after World War II.
Metallurgist Constance Tipper was born #OTD in 1894.
Her groundbreaking work on the brittle fracture of metals saved countless lives during #WWII & laid foundational principles for modern fracture mechanics. First female FT faculty member at Cambridge Dept of Engineering (1949). #WomenInSTEM (1/2)
