Transparency is incredibly important to us, and film is a really effective medium. This furthers our goal of openness with communities about our work. So glad to have @martienssen join us on the journey.
Check out this short film – shot in the Faroe Islands by Tom @martienssen – illustrating the collaboration between Variant Bio, Ílegusavnið, and the University of Copenhagen (@UCPH_health, @GLOBE_UCPH): lnkd.in/epnP6nyV

The dump outside Luzhniki Stadium after that very concert.
Just the essence of it all in one photo.

Remember the girl who sang Frozen in a Ukrainian bomb shelter?
She just sang on stage at a charity concert in Poland

Antarctica has experienced unfathomable temperatures in recent days. Temperatures have been as high as 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit above normal.
One of the most anomalous extreme temperature events ever observed in human history. (h/t @capitalweather)

You rarely hear from mothers of Russian soldiers. This lady came up to us at an anti-war protest in Moscow, desperate for the safety of her 22 yr old son. She told us there were only 10 men left in his regiment. If there are voices Putin fears, it’s these

Oh wow. This is incredibly brave. A journalist at Russian state tv storms the set with a sign saying ‘Stop the war, don’t believe the propaganda. They lie to you here!’
Her name is Maria Ovsiannikova and she has now been taken to a police station

The Russian are claiming a pregnant woman hurt in a hospital bombing photographed by AP photographer @EMaloletka - who’s been surrounded by their forces with barely food & unable to escape for two weeks - is a crisis actress. He’ll get the Pulitzer. They’ll get The Hague.

Watch this,world. Watch pregnant Ukrainian women with their faces covered in blood. Watch facilities for newborn babies destroyed. Watch dead bodies buried in a mass grave because of incessant bombardment of Mariupol. You enabled Putin for years,and it's the result

In Kyiv a woman knocked down a Russian drone from a balcony with a jar of cucumbers. How did they expect to occupy this country?

To date, this tweet is the original source for this report and no media outlet has been able to verify the claim, and the user tweeting this has not provided any evidence to back up the claim despite being repeatedly asked.

According to Putin's plan, Belarus’ troops had to enter Ukraine a week ago. But something went wrong. Some officers resigned, some fled Belarus and contacted us. Conscripts are massively fleeing. Apparently, some generals opposed the participation of Belarus in the war.

It seems there is massive resistance in Belarus - also within its armed forces - towards taking part in the 🇷🇺 invasion of 🇺🇦. Lukashenko might have to backtrack. teapaw.org/franakviacorka/status/…
