The book is titled: Trees, a miniature guidebook. An open version of the pin shows assorted leaf shapes on the pages of the book. The leaves are labelled by species as oak, horse chestnut, sycamore, hawthorn, ash, alder, hazel, holly, lime, beech, and birch
My miniature tree identification pins are finally back in stock and the 2nd edition is better than ever! Please share them around so people can see π canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4386...

Let's talk about #polio!
The virus can invade our nervous system and cause paralysis in just hours. Remember: 1 in 200 cases leads to irreversible paralysis (usually in the legs). However, thanks to vaccines polio can be prevented! #VaccinesWork

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.
26.01.2026 07:53 β π 16346 π 3271 π¬ 138 π 162A LinkedIn post from my profile, reading: βIt's a very simple equation, really: Science communication needs to be accurate, it needs to be authentic, and it needs to be transparent. If you're not doing it that way, you're not doing science communication at all. In addition, *good* science communication is inclusive, it's ethical, it's sustainable. If you're not heeding these things, you're not doing science communication right. Which is why I am profoundly shocked by ostensibly reasonable people promoting the use of chatbots for science communication. Their use decreases factual accuracy. It decreases transparency. It decreases authenticity. Those things are true regardless of *which* chatbot you're using and regardless of *how* you're using it. Plus, the tech is not sustainable, not inclusive, not ethical. The promotion and use of Al chatbots is already damaging science communication and, if taken to the extreme, will be capable of quickly destroying it. Not through the rise of evil Al, but through ignorance on part of the users, rapidly destroying the trust that science communicators have been able to build over decades. Everything I will ever publish will be written by humans, and by humans only. If science communication goes the way of the robots, it will go there without me.β
LinkedIn probably wasnβt the best channel to post this, but I stand by it

A large quote reads: βAs days pass and Labour seemingly find new ways to disappoint people, I remain focused on growing the Green Party. At the upcoming by-election in Gorton and Denton, itβs become clear that the Greens are the only progressive party capable of beating Reform.β Green Party logo and branding appear at the bottom.
We are not here to be disappointed by Labour anymore. At the by-election in Gorton and Denton, we are here to replace them. This election is a two-way race now - Greens Vs Reform.
