Kier Starmer was visiting a very small village in the UK, and asked the villagers what the government could do for them. "We have two big needs" said the village spokesman. "First, we Have a health centre, but no doctor." Starmer whipped out his mobile phone, spoke for a while and then said "I've sorted it out, a doctor will arrive here tomorrow. “What is your other need then?" “We have no mobile phone reception at all in our village”. 😬🤣

The jaw dropping early C16th angel roof at St. Wendreda's in March, Cambridgeshire - Sir John Betjeman said it was "worth cycling forty miles into a headwind to see." It's hard to believe that this beautiful example of medieval craftsmanship is under threat #thread

Combining geophysics and excavation data is one of the key components of the FNP. Here, our geophysics experts show some of the broader excavation team how ground penetrating radar data maps onto their digging!

Dicen que en el futuro nos moveremos en taxis voladores que reducirán la congestión de las carreteras. Santiago será una de las primeras ciudades en usarlos. Pero, ¿de verdad solucionan el cambio climático? Análisis de @sofiagreaves1 theconversation.com/taxis-ve…

Taxis verticales: ¿Merece la pena privatizar el cielo?

Los taxis verticales asoman ya en nuestro futuro próximo como ‘solución tecnológica’ para la sostenibilidad de la vida urbana, pero ¿son realmente una solución?
