Dear @SuellaBraverman,
I want to report the theft of my #EuropeanCitizenship in January 2019. I have evidence that @BorisJohnson was involved.
Will you instruct the Police to investigate, please?

Great column from
@ShiraOvide, looking at differences between private messengers. Note Telegram isn't listed, because Telegram is not a private messenger.

And note that Signal is the gold standard, providing the foundation for the rest.❤️

This is Elisabeth Wollman (1888-1943). Her life was extraordinary & her legacy is phenomenal.

In collaboration with her husband, Eugène, she was a pioneer of what became molecular genetics. This pic is her Pasteur Institute portrait from the early 1920s.

Their groundbreaking work was carried on by a colleague & their son, leading to a Nobel prize & more.

CW: The Wollmans' lives were ended in Auschwitz.

I've just created her Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Wollman

I don't give many talks these days as my health with kidney failure isn't up to it and I find it extremely tiring, but I am giving a number online in Sept for those interested.

Here's a reminder about Pasteur's Quadrant, which is referenced in the article (and I had to google)

Why are they even allowed to drive?

14/ We hope you enjoyed this thread about staying informed about OpenStreetMap. Thanks for reading and sharing, and have fun mapping and otherwise celebrating OSM's recent 19th birthday 🎂 🍾

We have many more threads about the #geoweirdness of specific countries, border disputes, geocoding, #geoeducation and more linked on our blog.
