Ministers claimed today that the collapsing school buildings scandal only emerged "over the summer".
In reality schools first started warning about the problem five whole years ago
You'll never guess what happened next.
"The goal was to generate agreement on legally binding shared principles before the next pandemic, with sufficient authority to promote engagement at the highest levels of government.
That was nearly two years ago."

'However, the contribution of stromal cells of the hematopoietic niches in the control of HSPC asymmetric divisions remains unknown. Using polyacrylamide microwells as minimalist niches, we show that heterotypic interaction with osteoblast promotes asymmetric division of human HSPC.'

Prisca from Jersey deserves its own Springsteen ballad!
"These include the oldest undisputed fossil bee, Cretotrigona prisca, from New Jersey amber, which was recovered far outside of its lineage’s present-day range."

J. Robert Oppenheimer & his student Hartland Snyder publish the Oppenheimer–Snyder model ("On Continued Gravitational Contraction"), proving for the 1st time in contemporary physics how black holes could develop #OTD in 1939.
They showed when a sufficiently massive star runs out of thermonuclear fuel, it will undergo continued gravitational contraction and become separated from the rest of the universe by a boundary called the event horizon, which not even light can escape.

"Chemotherapy Shortage Impacts Patients, Physicians, Costs, and Clinical Trials:
The market has failed, and therefore, in my opinion, the federal government needs to solve this problem,”
Mark J. Ratain, MD, FASCO, Chief Hospital Pharmacologist, University of Chicago Medicine, told *The ASCO Post*."

I spoke to Euronews about Clement Beaune's idea for a minimum flight ticket price - the article is online now https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/08/31/that-doesnt-reflect-the-price-for-the-planet-france-wants-to-put-a-stop-to-mega-low-airfar In short: anything to make the airline industry foot the environmental costs of flying is good. But I have some questions about whether this will actually work.

A man in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to death for his tweets, and surprise: Elon Musk is NOT funding his legal bill as promised because there's a good chance that the necessary data to identify this man came from the second largest shareholder of Twitter: the Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
Musk has been awfully silent about this as you can't really make your “freedom of speech!!” argument when you assist with killing a retired teacher for the regime critic posts they made on your platform, only possible because that regime owns a huge chunk of “your” platform.

In part 3 thread we will look at how the murder of Emmitt Till, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the saga of the Little Rock 9, and the freedom rides and sit-ins galvanized Black Americans and their allies to organize in solidarity against discrimination, racism, and in support of justice and equality and how this led to the the March on Washington. Thanks for reading.

'Poland is also the E.U.’s biggest operator of mink farms. One obvious worry is whether the minks are getting sick with H5N1 and mink meat is somehow contaminating the food chain and eventually reaching the cats.'

'Those suffering from long Covid often feel forgotten, in part because the medical establishment is struggling to define, let alone treat, this new condition. As Jana Javornik, a lecturer at Leeds university who suffers from long Covid, told the FT a few months ago, “We are all neglecting that long Covid is not rare and it is a health crisis.”'

Important research out shows more evidence of the role of blood clot factors and small blood clots in aetiology of #LongCovid. Helps support more need for trials looking at clotting and blood thinners. Don’t think it will be a one size fits all though as autoimmune features and latent viral reservoirs lalso important. Timely reminder that we there were over 700,000 new long Covid cases during the period of ‘so called mild’ Omicron infections.
