'As men in balaclavas try to stop lifeboats saving people, something different is happening on the coast of North Devon. In a community changed by an asylum hotel, new friendships are being forged – and a group of refugee schoolgirls are learning to surf like the locals.' 🏄🏽‍♀️ youtu.be/cP5JCtqOgnM?...

Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" was released on this day 62 years ago. I have a first edition & come back to it often, including this paragraph in the chapter "Obligation to Endure." It's worth reading. "We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts."
Cover of Silent Spring by Rachel CarsonThe last paragraph in the Silent Spring chapter Obligation to Endure, reads, in part, " We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts... The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts. In the words of Jean Rostand, "The obligation to endure gives us the right to know."

Do you have a painting or drawing by Lawrence Bragg? The Nobel Prize-winning scientist appears in the 1927 Solvay photo alongside Einstein and Marie Curie; he was also a keen painter. I’m planning an exhibition about his life and times in 2027, the centenary of this picture.

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.

In all the grandiose discussion about colonising Mars, I don't see much about how the soil is poisonous to us. This was only discovered in 2008. It contains perchlorates, which are environmental toxins here on Earth. Any human contact with Mars dust? Super-bad news in the long run. 1/

ESB announce completion of Clonin North Solar Farm in County Offaly, a 70MWp solar farm capable of generating enough clean electricity for 10,000 homes each year. These can be contentious but we need all the renewables we can get and I’ll never tell a farmer what they can do with their land.

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 39. Bumblebees have four wings. The two back wings are smaller and are usually attached to the bigger front wings by a row of hooks. This can sometimes lead to the mistaken impression that they only have two wings. #bees #bumblebees #nature #science

At the Antimatter Factory at CERN there are vacuum cleaners in cages. Those cages are there because when you vacuum the experiment hall, you might pick up some radioactive material, and so the vacuum has to be in a time out until enough half-lives of the contaminant have elapsed.
