A new studies finds that tree bark removes methane from the atmosphere, making trees 10% even more better for climate than we previously thought!

Would you like to know why domesticated animals frequently have floppy ears, piebald coat colours or curly tails? Or why artificial selection for tameness leads to animals with small teeth and brains?
Watch this terrific 5-minute animation from the 'Evolution Evolving' website:

It explains how developmental mechanisms create biases in the generation of trait variation, such that clusters of traits evolve together.

Design Science were brilliant. Great ideas, extremely professional, and a pleasure to work with. We thoroughly recommend them.
A joy working with Prof Kevin Lala & co-authors to design an identity, website (now live!), animations and more to help communicate their important new study of #evolutionarybiology @EvoEvolving

👏🏽Delighted to be part of this new collaboration between @BSMSMedSchool & @DesignScienceUKt to ensure people living with #HIV can access the information they need on the challenges of HIV-related cognitive impairment👇🏽
🎗️🧠
Great to be working with @BSMSMedSchool to help communities living with #HIV care for and cope with challenges of HIV related cognitive impairment.
Big thanks @sussexbeacon for supporting an excellent kick off workshop this week.

How did the UK's Science Museum secure sponsorship from #Adani, the world's biggest private producer of coal?🤔
And for a new gallery on #climate science!

Jo Brand, comedian extraordinaire, translates my climate science for real people.
As she says "If people like me have to get involved you know we are in deep trouble"

The UK Covid inquiry is giving us ample evidence that some people, including some senior politicians, need scientific information presented to them as simply as possible.
We don’t always need axes, numbers or labels on our graphs.

Surprising. Astounding. Staggering. Unnerving. Bewildering. Flabbergasting. Disquieting. Gobsmacking. Shocking. Mind boggling.

BREAKING: Sunak is reneging on many of the UK’s net zero commitments. The worst decision of any Prime Minister in my lifetime. A betrayal of our children, of our international responsibilities, and scientifically illiterate.

The Doughnut's ecological ceiling just got updated and the news is not good.
MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.
For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

Latest observations of global temperature change shown as a 'climate spiral' using monthly averages from January 1850 to June 2023.
Uses @metoffice HadCRUT5 dataset, representing change relative to the 1850-1900 'pre-industrial' era.
