Ireland imports 80% of its wheat. Not great food security. Concentration on livestock farming elbowed Irish wheat out. Imported wheat and flour add considerably to the cost of living crisis. But new crop science opens the door to Irish grown wheat. Listen: 👉 www.rte.ie/listen/clip/...

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.

While all attention is on AI and its impact on our brains, energy grids and economy, and whether it will literally kill all of us, is any leader taking climate change seriously any more? AMOC collapse would be *absolutely devastating* and is only one of profound impacts climate change brings.

A number of big departures, and a relative dearth of incoming transfers, means Leinster are going to be relying on a lot of young players to make the step up this year. Here's my thread of key Leinster players 23-and-under to watch for the upcoming season, from established players to up-and-comers.

This is the most interesting podcast I’ve heard this year. Amongst other things, it has fascinating insights on how Trump and modern politics generally have compressed our sense of time - and practical analysis of what this means for democracy and democratic tactics. Strongly, strongly recommended.
