And in many uk universities and departments, mine included, there are movements to ban dairy milk and only have soy milk or equivalents. There are always consequences. Always.
Brazil’s soy boom comes with a grim cost: Significant increases in pediatric deaths from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, likely driven by contamination of the water supply by pesticides. In PNAS: ow.ly/f4a250Q5CXp
Well I had to look that one up, but it’s now my German word of the week: Promidichte = ‘celebrity density’ #promidichte – at Islington, London

As COVID-19 cases surge once more, the battle over mask mandates and their effectiveness rages on. While skeptics claim that masks offer little protection and may even be harmful, the evidence suggests otherwise. @HenryIMiller buff.ly/485Gx8a

The FSU is launching a legal Crowdfunder for our member, ex-law lecturer at the Open University, Dr Almut Gadow!!

At NSC Ltd we had 9 years with 2 #Horizon2020 projects, latterly as Work Package leader alongside 4 UK research institutes out of 19 consortium partners. Now? Nothing. No longer involved in R&I and much IP is on ice. I’m doing something else. Dismal lack of action by UK Govt. – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Why dither & delay? Annual cost about the same as for a disease-ridden firetrap barge with no-one on it. Still, it’s only the future of British science. #Horizon deal: Sunak hold-up will scupper £81bn post-Brexit science agreement with EU, academics fear inews.co.uk/news/horizon-dea…

Electrification means that we will add significant load to the power system.
Using the flexibility of millions of electric vehicles & heat pumps that are set to be connected to the UK’s grid could save £4.7 billion/yr by end of this decade says @ofgem.

Last year we began investigating a shoe recycling project run by Dow and the Singapore government. We discovered that shoes they said would be turned into jogging tracks were exported to Indonesia. 🧵TV/story 👇@specialreports reuters.com/investigates/spe…

My piece on how we’ve proven the market for micromobility, bringing net zero carbon urban transport for no subsidy.
But there’s a danger that onerous city charges - especially revenue shares - could lead to operators simply not having financially viable schemes.
#ZagExclusive: The future of micromobility depends on contracts giving room for growth.
@voitechnology’s @mpencharz explains why excessive city fees are threatening operators' long-term viability.

Mission acomplished (II). It has been great to share a couple of days with our partners and friends in the @NewcotianaP final meeting in Badajoz, dicusssing great science, but also enjoying local delicatessen
@CTAEX_CIT - venue for our final @NewcotianaP conference on turning tobacco into pharmaceuticals and other beneficial products. Overwhelming agreement that #BREXIT and UK stance on #Horizon2020 is a disaster for UK #research and #innovation. Sad.
