Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
Professor Robin Weiss smiling in a lab.
We're remembering Professor Robin Weiss, who passed away last month.
Robin was a pioneer of research into virus-associated cancers and HIV/AIDS, who had a transformational impact on the ICR, as our Director in the 1980s.

This is a huge loss for UK virology, and for the whole scientific community

this is a great opportunity to work with @dottorinireslab.bsky.social , our fantastic new colleague at KCL
Science funding needs fixing — but not through chaotic reforms www.nature.com/articles/d41...
UKRI still doesn't provide clear timelines to reopen applications. This uncertainty is utterly unnecessary and is harming a lot of excellent science in the UK
Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world?
NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.
Our bizarre, self-inflicted science funding crisis is finally getting some attention in the general media.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

UKRI funding has been eaten by inflation for more than a decade. Just put more cash into the system for project grants, or UK science won't recover from the current catastrophe
Now: Bruce Springsteen sings “Streets of Minneapolis” in Minneapolis
Yeah so, I really want to see all my non-American friends as much and as soon as possible, but I also want them to not be here for the “raw sewage” situation. Sh*t is not okay over here, friends.
this is about time, there have been plenty of wake up calls before this tragedy
A beautiful poem by the woman murdered by ICE. I feel rage and aching and horror. It isn’t more awful because she wrote this, but it is heartbreaking and tragic in an almost tangible way to read her poetry.

We’re in an era of back-yardism. Trump’s takeover of Venezuela & maybe Greenland means he can’t logically object to Putin’s desire to take back Ukraine in Russia’s back-yard, or Xi grabbing Taiwan. The US, once the world’s moral super-power, shrinks to policeman for the Americas.

Delighted to share our latest work today at Sheffield. Many thanks @drbciani.bsky.social for hosting me
it is a very nice piece of work. NoCut rocks!
Fantastic Inaugural Lectures by Katie Doores and Patricia Barral
@barrallab.bsky.social . It is a real privilege to have colleagues like them at @kingslsm.bsky.social .
it was a pleasure to write this spotlight article. Many questions remain about sensing of missegregated DNA by NoCut, but the @longchrom.bsky.social lab makes exciting progress. They put the helicases Srs2/PARI in the picture, suggesting new mechanisms for genome protection.
these are really sad news. Antonio Garcia Bellido was a scientific giant, he paved the way to world class science in Spain. His pioneering work in Developmental Biology was truly revolutionary
that trust won't go well in the White House. Why having the BBC if you can spread fake BS?
it would be good if we were equally alarmed by a certain Prince walking free, worry less about the palace we pay for him and more about the danger to his victims

very well indeed. Chemo and the oncologists at the NHS did a wonderful job
I had non-Hodgkin lymphoma more than 20 years ago. Thankfully I chose chemo over coffee enemas www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

New Home Office figures show a rise of 50% in citizenship applications from Americans – putting it at the highest since records began. In my view, you can’t have too many open-minded Americans in your country — they’re the best of the best.
