Fortran (@fortranlang) is now #8 at TIOBE Index and continues rising. With new compilers maturing quickly, Fortran will become a very nice language for numerical computing. tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

I support these suggested actions on #Covid and #LongCovid. This is important not only ethically, but also financially and for our mental health. Many Long Covid patients are gaslit, made to feel like modern-day hysterics, even though the evidence base on its effects is clear.
ACTION ON COVID AND LONG COVID Party We call on the Government to follow expert advice and immediately introduce simple measures to protect us all from Covid. • Air quality improvements in public indoor spaces, e.g. schools, hospitals, public transport, workplaces • NHS that is safe for patients and staff • Free lateral flow tests • Sick pay for supported isolation • Research into improved vaccines and therapeutics • Post-viral chronic illness research task force for better understanding of and treatments for Long Covid, ME and Chronic Fatigue Syndromes • Comprehensive, safe, evidence-based vaccination and booster programme Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of the Green Party, both at

Last week I had the pleasure of hosting a Euro-@CSDMS workshop to envision future models of the natural world. Inspirational discussions & tangible next steps towards a thriving international community pioneering the next generation of environmental models! @UK_CEH

Today's office! I'm on my way to Barcelona for the @EternalPharma general assembly to discuss all things #GreenPharma. It'll be a long day (5am-10pm 😴), but definitely better than flying. @UK_CEH – at Preston, England

We have a very safe, efficacious paediatric SARS2 mRNA vax, used 6m+. Reduced dose and age minimises small risk of myocarditis seen in adolescents. This sobering study by @katebrown220, @chrischirp et al shows 6m+ kids are always at risk from acute COVID. xitter.cf/chrischirp/status/1847…

Important 🧵on our new peer-reviewed paper: The pandemic is as bad as it ever was for babies - in year to Aug 2023, 6,300 babies under 1 were admitted to hospital wholly or partly BECAUSE of Covid. They are ONLY age group where admissions have NOT gone down over time 1/17

Schools from United Learning in England are forcing students & parents to sign an ‘Attendance Pledge’ which requires them to: “ALWAYS COME INTO SCHOOL, EVEN IF YOU FEEL UNWELL” 🤯 This is unbelievable! This will NOT reduce illness absence, it will just spread it to others.
