From snowdrop to nightjar – how one Norfolk scientist’s valuable record of spring lasted 222 years Robert Marsham’s “Indications of Spring” is an incredible 222-year record of flora and fauna events that still informs climate studies today

This is a fascinating story. Marsham and 6 generations of his family kept a detailed log of specific signs of the onset of spring...for 222 years! Starting in pre-industrial Britain is it the longest science experiment of its kind ever undertaken. Really worth a read ⤵️

Kim Leadbeater’s assisted dying bill: What happens next? | Institute for Government Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill passed second reading on 29 November by a wider than expected margin, 330–275.

How amazing! Half a century ago 🤣
