INDIA NEEDS TO WATCH THIS HIMALAYAN FLOOD WAVE!
A major flood has entered Nepal’s Bhote Koshi from the Tibetan side, triggering alerts across the Trishuli basin.
Bhote Koshi becomes Trishuli which becomes Narayani/Gandak and if flows into Bihar eventually into the Ganga.
West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Saran & Vaishali should remain vigilant.
This may not become a major flood in India. But it's best to be vigilant.

Massive flash floods in Rasuwa and other parts of Nepal!
Prayers with the affected🙏
Hope indian authorities in lower gangetic plains are vigilant and prepared for contingecies.

We’ve updated the #Birchgletscher factsheet – the 🇨🇭#glacier that collapsed on 28 May. It took just ~40s for the ice-rock avalanche to hit the valley equalling an average speed of ~200 km/h. New data on volumes & timing now included: polybox.ethz.ch/index.php/s/… #Blatten ❤️

Every +0.1°C of global warming leads to ~2% more glacier ice loss. Sticking to the #ParisAgreement (+1.5°C) would preserve over half the ice compared to current policies (+2.7°C). This is the result of a new study based, led by Harry Zekollari & several co-authors from our group.

The "8 hours of sleep" rule is based on ZERO evidence.
Ancient humans slept in two distinct phases, not one long stretch.
Here's the shocking truth about how you should really be sleeping:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The AASM specify that adults 18 to 60 years should sleep 7 or more hours per night on a regular basis for optimal sleep health. The National Sleep Foundation consensus report for ages 18-64, 7-9hrs, adding for adults 65 and over 7 to 8 hrs on a regular basis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29073398/
