Ruby Tiger & Orange Footman (Nuneaton,Warks 2/5/24) No moths in the actual trap this morning but Footman on the wall & the Tiger emerged in the garden this afternoon. #MothsMatter

Kew Gardens is a triangle of living plants, historical plants, and mushed up plants in one place. That's its unique strength.

How can Defra UK let this happen??? The historical backbone of plant science in the UK is being destroyed by bankers who ignore botanists

A coronal mass ejection has arrived from the sun recently

As a result the aurora might be seen tonight where skies are clear, especially across Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of England

Very good aurora statistics right now - if they hold has strong potentials of aurora as soon as it's dark enough

Try to find as dark and as clear area as possible and look north :)

Good forecast for most of Yorkshire

Lets see what happens!

PS this image was not Yorkshire ;-)

New study supports psilocybin’s potential as an antidepressant.

These findings are encouraging but further evidence is needed before any clinical recommendations can be made, say the authors Athina_Metaxa bmj.com/content/385/bm…

Keep Kew Herbarium at Kew 1/2 🤨 this makes me really sad to hear, both from the point of view of staff working there already, they ARE top tier talent (see last weeks collections-based Nature publication, many of the authors who have purposefully moved their lives across oceans to work at Kew)…

Keep Kew Herbarium at Kew 2/2…but also for the trustee, that they don’t understand part of the lure of working at Kew is the historic Herbarium, certainly not the wages. Leave the collections in situ & offer wages people can live & thrive on & you’ll continue to attract talent…nature.com/articles/s4158…

Vote Tactically to get the Tories out.

You're not doing so well yourselves, Conservatives, with Mel Stride taking forever to read a 100 page #WASPI report and come up with the compensation scheme Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman called for. #1950swomen are pensioners too.

Steve Almond, Kew trustee and ex banker told staff today, no 'top tier talent would be persuaded to come and work at Kew by walking around the existing herbarium or indeed the facilities in Jodrell. They are not world class.' Scientists beg to differ.. 🤯

A very good question. 👇

If a movement of cash is marked in your accounts as a dividend, it's agreed and signed off by your board as a dividend, agreed and signed off by your external auditors as a dividend, IT'S A DIVIDEND!

5 months later @ofwat still trying to work it out. 🤔
