How can this be described as anything other than genocide?
This staggering graph just published by the United Nations shows the ages of people killed by Israel in Gaza. The base of this "pyramid" of death are babies and toddlers. This is not a war, it is a massacre of innocents.

How do you tag tiny hummingbirds? With tiny back-pack tags! 🎒 Our researchers are working to expand a project tagging the beautiful birds in the Andes to find out more about their lives. Read about the tags and Cristina Rueda Uribe's related PhD here: abdn.io/14C

I’ve not heard one media outlet highlight the fact that Labour are setting aside £11.8 billion for the infected blood scandal and £1.8 billion for the Horizon/PO scandal. The Tories set aside nothing and that in itself is a scandal. #bbcnews #skynews #c4news #itvnews

We are just finishing a comprehensive review on methods to estimate marine connectivity and it's awesome but v.long. Can anyone suggest a decent marine ecology and/or methods focused journal that doesn't have a word limit for reviews? Thanks!

The Israeli government is killing children, women, and humanitarian workers in Lebanon, just as they have in Gaza. If International Law is to be worth the paper it is written on, then there must be accountability, not impunity.
We are outraged and deeply saddened by the killing of two beloved members of the UNHCR family and extend our deepest sympathies to their families. The protection of civilians is a must, in line with obligations under international humanitarian law. unhcr.org/lb/18817-unhcr-mou…

Universities are a 'profit centre' for the country. For every £1 of public money invested in the higher education sector, £14 is put back into the economy📈 Hear from @viviennestern about how a well-supported university sector can help transform the UK economy 👇
