Scientists crack what they say is the perfect way to boil an egg Linda Geddes tests new approach developed in Italian lab that involves alternating egg between different temperatures

”Not now scientists!….”

Hahahaha

I totally agree. A summer is Sweden is perfectly lovely!

The Ukraine missile crisis: Putin’s shadow war against the west finally breaks cover After Kyiv used Storm Shadow missiles, Russia’s leader asserted his ‘right’ to attack the UK and US. In truth, he has been doing exactly that for two years now

Important commentary on the realities needing to be accepted by those living in the West. We are already at war with #Russia and it’s allies and have been for years.

Ukraine marks 1,000 days of full-scale war "For 1,000 days, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been confronting the enemy on the front line, which stretches over 1,000 kilometers," Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Nov. 19, Day 1,000 ...

Perplexing results of this new paper: you cannot deny the role of social media in peoples lives yet when platforms become politicised and unsafe what is the action to take? Abandon existing communities and spaces or risk or accept less engagement and bias. I wish I had an answer!

I was just searching for this graphic on LinkedIn. Perplexing dynamic where social media is both the most important channel for scientific information but also probably the least trusted of all forms of media. Definitely a discussion to be had in my team at SEI.
Thanks for sharing here

So slow, and such a meagre response.

Bloody hell - Yogi tea is getting a bit heavy these days #wisdom #yoga

I am sure that Dr Sultan Al Jaber and @COP28_UAE’s success will be judged (fairly) on the outcomes of #COP28  but I think we are witnessing a masterclass in multilateral leadership. This will be the bar for not just future COP hosts but for the bar for multilateralism full stop.

What’s your take on that statement?

SEI at COP28 SEI experts seize the opportunity to influence world leaders in a series of events at COP28.

I’m optimistic about #COP28UAE. Not that I have any proper evidence to back it up but I’ve a sense that Al Jaber could spring a surprise.

Yale historian says west can break Ukraine stalemate with more military aid Timothy Snyder argues that ‘dropping five more queens on the board’ would allow Ukraine to prevail

Shame that ‘Imprisoned Writers Day’ is even a thing.

Priest Nick Howe at the English Church in Stockholm, Sweden said today in our Remembrance Day service; “war is the failure of diplomacy”. Seems simple. But the more I think about peace the more I see a need for a readiness for war. Almost like to have one you need the other.

Here is my hot take of the week. Social media is dying, X is the biggest example but engagement is falling across platforms. Press and media will fill the void. In both my professional and personal life I see the authenticity and rigour shown by “proper” journalism will drive a massive comeback.
