The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Great statement from Hantavirus experts. Transmission may be via household/close contact, caregiving without suitable PPE or prolonged exposure in poorly ventilated/crowded settings. Pre-symptomatic transmission not ruled out. Key for designing a Public Health response. zenodo.org/records/2007...

I was blown away by the Perth Museum today. The Stone of Destiny exhibit is incredibly well done. Seeing the stone was unexpectedly moving, as was Mary Queen of Scots' final letter. There is also a range of fascinating finds from the Tay area including neolithic, bronze age and Roman artefacts.

We visited Perth today. The heather blooming in the Bellwood Riverside Park was quite breathtaking. We've driven past this park so often, and had no idea of the beauty on the other side of the wall.

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic... 1. Seasonal viruses may be "normal", but they do immense harm.

If it were your daughter, your sister, your niece, if you knew a young girl being molested by men three times her age, would you care then? Please remember the Epstein story isn't really about a list. It's about young girls, powerful men, and a system that let them get away with it.
