Undermining scientific bodies doesn’t “fix” them - it destabilizes them. Mixed messages don’t “empower choice” - they fuel chaos. Once trust in data collapses, it’s almost impossible to rebuild. If it can happen in the U.S., it can happen anywhere.

After years of Republicans talking about “freedom,” is there ONE Republican in Congress prepared to stand with Ukraine and democracy? Or do they ALL agree with Trump that Vladimir Putin, a blood-thirsty dictator, is our ally in this horrific war that he started.

Humans being able to grow food at a faster rate than adding population is a marvelous achievement. We should all be grateful for technology and fertilizer. Life would be less comfortable otherwise. Source: buff.ly/4hX6Im2

The primary eyes of spiders are known to exhibit a pigment ring shortly after ecdysis (moulting). During this phase, the lens grows until the pigment ring is no longer visible. The pigment rings are typically more visible in salticids and deinopids.

Mass-scale solar panels on prime farmland shouldn’t ever be approved and developed. As well as being blots on beautiful countryside, it reduces food supply. Put solar panels on brownfields, car parks and roofs instead.
