A lab member sent this photo of an ongoing situation around the back of the Medical School.

So many questions…

in reply to Stephen Royle

We had an issue a few years ago with a duck that nested for multiple years on the inner yard of the university. The problem was, the mother duck and the ducklings couldn't reach water from there, as there was building on all sides. So there was a duck family rescue mission each summer. 😅

Likely something similar going on here.




Slashing government R&D (Research and Development) isn’t just a budget cut – it’s a blow to U.S. innovation and long-term growth.

A recent study finds that federal science funding has driven over 20% of productivity gains since WWII.

After a nighttime attack on Kharkiv on 11 June, rescuers heard an injured man singing the Ukrainian national anthem beneath the rubble of a destroyed building

Everything was burning, death was all around — but Kharkiv remained unbroken

Back in Cork after my UK trip. In contrast to Heathrow, landing in Cork airport there are lots of #pride :progresspride_flag: signs, and pride bunting up. It's nice to be back, fresh air for the soul as it were. And someone waiting ...

This trip I managed to trigger scanners/security. Was it because I'm trans? Nope.
The Oestrogel I'm carrying? Nope. Because of the suspicious looking bundles of fresh green herbs (holy basil) 🌿? Nope ...

But something in my Kaeng Som curry paste needed a swab down, and serious attention ... 🤣

Anyway, nice to be home

There has been far too little focus on Darren Beattie, who was fired from the first Trump admin bc his extremist views were too extreme.

#WordWeavers 11, What colour do you associate with your current story?

Dark, mossy green. We're at a bit of a wet, rainy forest conflict.

Israeli Air Force KC-707 refueling an F-16I Sufa over eastern Syria this morning, as Israeli forces continue to strike Iranian targets.

Five waves of Israeli attacks so far and more attacks planned.

Fars News - Both Iran’s military chief of staff and the IRGC chief commander killed by Israel. farsnews.ir/Sayeh/174979056596…


IDK why, but out of all the horrible, no good, very depressing news on the front pages today, this one stuck in my head the most so far. From WaPo:

"At least several months ago, Israel’s top spy agency, the Mossad, began to smuggle missiles into Iran and secretly installed swarms of explosive drones deep inside the country, laying the groundwork for a devastating Israeli surprise attack on Friday morning. As Israel launched its air attack, the Mossad activated its planted drones, which struck missile launchers at a base near Tehran, a senior Israeli official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence operations."

But sure, let's spend a bajillion dollars building a nationwide golden ICBM shield.

in reply to BrianKrebs

Yeah, add in the drone operation Ukraine pulled off recently, and it really seems like the "Golden Dome" concept isn't just ridiculous and obscenely expensive but also utterly outdated already.
in reply to BrianKrebs

oh, Isreal pulled an spider web. Maybe they struck now before Iran got the idea from the ukrainien attack, to look for hidden drones.

Hey #Portland there's a guy trying to shoot homeless people in your area. It's rare that a case like this gets so much media coverage, such solid pictures of the attacker AND a $2500 bounty.

Hope y'all locate him:

📍 1300 & 1600 block of Schmeer Road
📍 3500 block of North Victory Blvd.

This man is wanted for questioning after a series of unprovoked shootings targeting homeless people.
