I spoke to the wonderful Jane Goodall about the state of the planet and her work with @JGIAustria
(You can hear me being star-struck and Jane being enchanting on Inside Science on @BBCSounds) bbc.com/news/articles/c93qvq…

We need to cut emissions. We need renewable energy. We also need to consider the use of nuclear power.
We haven't yet seen many of the negative effects of climate change in the UK - but we will.
We also need to highlight the many associated positives of taking action.

Science in Action leads today with a truly inspirational interview with @kkariko, one of this week's @Nobel Laureates for her work laying the path to the COVID mRNA vaccines - on pure/applied science, and keeping going when those around you don't get it.

As @GarethM and I have had so much fun over the years riffing on tech and society, we thought we’d carry on even though @digitalplanet is no more. First attempt here.. we plan to do more. cff.libsyn.com until we sort a domain.

So, guys. ZOOS. What do we think?
The front line of animal research and vital conservation work? Indefensible animal prisons? Something in between?
This one's been quite a journey...
Uncaged: the history (and future) of zoos. Tonight 8pm, Radio 4

“Physics isn’t something that girls tend to fancy. They don’t want to do it. They don’t like it… There’s a lot of hard maths in there that they don’t want to do.” 🤦🏻♀️ @Miss_Snuffy, UK Government Social Mobility Commission Chair #WomenInSTEM

A year ago the coolest thing I’ve been part of during my PhD happened. The #WinchcombeMeteorite fell from the sky in Gloucestershire, and I got to escape Glasgow lockdown to go searching & this is the moment @mirabii found the biggest in tact piece in a sheep field💫☄️

Russia has gone to war in Ukraine. Missile strikes in Kyiv and other cities. Russian tanks have rolled in from Belarus. A former parliament member in Kyiv just messaged me: "Putin is trying to instill panic so staying calm feels like a kind of weapon." It's the only one she has.

Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest reached a 15-year high after it soared 22% in one year.
The Amazon is the world's largest tropical rainforest and stores vast quantities of CO2, the primary greenhouse gas.
