Aerial shot of Gaza City, burned and bombed into burned and shattered, unliveable wreckage as far as can be seen.

Whole area that used to be houses, shops, public transport routes, made into rubble and blackened, unliveable ruins. Aerial shot shows vast area entirely obliterated as habitable, attacked again and again by Israeli forces.

Several wrecked Gaza schools, shown from the air, pulverised by Israel's forces: windows all gaping, bombed out and covered in ash and dust. Some people are trying to live in makeshift camps amid the destruction, in former quadrangles and bomb sites.

Aerial shots of neighbourhoods with destroyed apartment buildings, houses, offices and shops, all bombed by Israel's government. Starving people are trying to live in tents and makeshift cubbies on the former roundabouts on a main road.

This what Israel has done to Gaza. Forbidden pics by a Washington Post photographer whose Jordanian air crew didn't pass on Israel's order to only photograph aid being dropped. City, suburbs, schools, people: bombed to rubble. People being starved in makeshift camps on road roundabouts. #Genocide

@theipcinfo.bsky.social warns: the worst-case scenario of #famine is unfolding in #Gaza.

Mass starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths.

@who.int calls for urgent access for food and medical aid into Gaza at scale.

Ceasefire.
Peace is the best medicine!

Science could enable a fascist future. Especially if we don’t learn from the past We need to reckon honestly with science’s past and present to avoid a grim future

A periodic table of bacteria?: Mapping bacterial diversity in trait space Bacterial diversity can be overwhelming. There is an ever-expanding number of bacterial taxa being discovered, but many of these taxa remain uncharacterized with unknown traits and environmental prefe...

New pre-print from my group - project led by PhD student Michael Hoffert. We set out on a daunting mission to generate a 'periodic table' of bacterial diversity (1/6) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Detergent-based separation of microbes from marine particles Marine particles, typically composed of organic detritus and cellular debris, harbor microbial communities that are distinct from the planktonic, or free-living, communities in the pelagic ocean. Howe...

Our latest, and the second paper led by Jordan Coelho this year. Want to remove bacteria from POM for single-cell microbiology/culturing/'omics applications? We've got some data:

How may theoretical ecology & evolutionary theory push microbiology forward?
At Environmental Microbiology, I am commissioning a series of Perspectives exploring that question. Excited to share them in the 🧵 below
The series is open, so do get in touch if you'd like to propose a new contribution!

Discarded clothes from UK brands dumped in protected Ghana wetlands Garments thrown out by consumers from Next, George, M&S and others found in or near conservation areas Clothes discarded by UK consumers and shipped to Ghana have been found in a huge rubbish dump in protected wetlands, an investigation has found. Reporters for Unearthed working with Greenpeace Africa found garments from Next in the dump and other sites, and items from George at Asda and Marks & Spencer washed up nearby. Continue reading...

Finland's Austerity Gamble: Tax Cuts for the Rich, Pain for the Poor A right-wing government's fiscal policies, sold as a path to sustainability, appear to favour corporations and the wealthy, while the working majority face harsh cuts.

E ainda tem "analista" que ainda afirma que se a gente chama o governo dos EUA de fascista estamos "esvaziando" o debate.

Guys, please talk about Thiago Avila.

He's the Brazilian activist on Freedom Flotilla kidnapped by Israel. He's still detained and has been doing a hunger and water strike since yesterday early morning. There have been reports of unsanitary conditions too.

Please talk about him.

I'm happy to announce the latest release of the GlobDB, available at globdb.org.

The GlobDB is a database of "species dereplicated" microbial genomes, and as of release 226 contains twice the number of species-representative genomes (306,260) than the latest GTDB release.

In Brazil racism is a crime.
“But what about freedom of expression?”
