economist.com/united-states/… It will not be safe for pregnant women to visit Florida as if they have a serious complication they are at risk of being denied apprpriate care. Scientific societies should not hold any meetings there @TheEndoSociety

Florida is the first state to reject an abortion-rights measure

Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞 👉youtu.be/YY_8WzcHqMQ

If the rumours are right and the UK, almost unilaterally given current global trends, cuts R&D funding at this critical moment, we're going to drift even further behind in economic growth, soft power, education, science, research, engineering, you name it .....
