I finally started a food blog! It's my attempt at stringing together some of the jumbled thoughts I have on a daily basis about eating (namely, how much I love doing it), and taking a step towards food writing: gegeli.wixsite.com/food
I'm only now realising that @LeoDiCaprio tweeted an article written by me... I'm may be many, many months late but this is still pretty cool
Granting the Vjosa River status as a national park would protect the area from dams and a new threat from oil and gas drilling. #VjosaNationalParkNow

What makes this worse is that no one making/editing/approving the video thought there was anything wrong with it. The Ivy Asia delegates a whole continent of people, culture and history to disgusting stereotypes, yet the very people it’s tokenising are never even considered.
The Ivy should just stay out of Asia if this is the kind of racist dreck they use to market it teapaw.org/meemalee/status/142378…
Always fun to do another book club pod for @ChemistryWorld, almost 3 years after I was there as an intern! Alondra Oubré's #ScienceinBlackandWhite explores the complex interplay between biology and environment to explain (and debunk) racial disparities. chemistryworld.com/podcasts/…

I am near speechless. An Exxon official admitting, on camera, how the company works to prevent effective climate action by using third party “whipping boys” so no one knows it’s them.
These recordings should be played on every TV station in the world. channel4.com/news/revealed-e…

👂 Listen to the patient!
Fascinating piece by @YGegeLi on work by @ChristinaBYap (@ICR_CTSU) exploring how patient reported outcomes could benefit early trials of new cancer treatments. 💊

🔬🧪For #InternationalClinicalTrialsDay, we spoke to Prof. Christina Yap, Team Leader of the @ICR_CTSU. She's advocating for including patient-reported symptoms in early-phase trials to make trials more efficient and beneficial for patients ⬇️

Baby sharks, tiny frogs and fairy penguins are just a few of the adorable animals I've written about but these dwarf flying squirrels really take the biscuit. Just look at them!! newscientist.com/article/mg2…
Making the #Vjosa river a national park would protect Europe’s last wild river from damming and other destructive projects - but political corruption is standing in the way. Me for GWC: globalwildlife.org/blog/the-…
Great news for science, added onto the fact that another 'lost' species of pumpkin toadlet was rediscovered last year, which I wrote about for @Global_Wildlife: globalwildlife.org/blog/this…

Would Boris Johnson really say “let the bodies pile high”
Well here he is talking about the massacre in Libya.
"They have got a brilliant vision to turn Sirte into the next Dubai.. the only thing they have got to do is clear away the dead bodies." laughter.

Maybe I'm naive but I'm absolutely astonished this made it on a front page of a national paper after making it past editors and subeditors alike.
This is why having people of colour in newsrooms - and actually *listening* to what we have to say - is so important.

Very excited to say that my first official food article (on noodles, of course - what else?) has been published! I'm looking forward to returning to these spots soon to get my well-needed noodle fix. worldoffoodanddrink.worldtra…

A government who doesn't like it when people say institutional racism exists appointed a panel of people who don't believe institutional racism exists, and they've produced a report which argues that institutional racism doesn't exist.

This bill is so dangerous. The police do not need any more power, their job role encompasses far too much already. Give power to the people by funding a robust welfare system - Police will never be the solution.
