New @seamammalresearch.bsky.social & @smruinstrument.bsky.social research out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social, using #NIRS integrated into SMRU phone tags to measure the diving behaviour and physiology of the most incredible human divers - the all-female Haenyeo

Record-breaking divers are pushing human limits and reshaping scientists' view of our species Humans have a long history of diving to forage from the seabed and today elite freedivers are reaching greater depths than ever. Some researchers argue humans belong in the sea.

Some of our recent @smruecophys.bsky.social research covered by BBC

President Michael D Higgins has said that to say the Irish people are anti-Semitic is a "gross defamation and slander.”

Ireland’s Prime Minister Simon Harris called Israel’s decision to close its embassy in Dublin part of Israel’s “diplomacy of distraction,” intended to deflect attention from “what Netanyahu is doing to the innocent children of Gaza.” He said Ireland remains committed to human rights and int’l law.

This article says “Both by drawing an erroneous (and offensive) equivalence with Northern Ireland and Palestine”. Like stop.Here’s a quote from a high Ranking British colonial officer who helped to found the place.There’s no false equivalence.Do some research. Talk to a historian

In 1607 there was a serious proposal to King James, that Ulster should become the Jewish Homeland, instead of colonising it with Scottish Protestants. False equivalence my arse
