Speaking to @guardianeco, Prof Lizzie Kendon said: “This study shows we can expect a big increase in slow-moving storms. This is very relevant to the recent flooding seen in Germany & Belgium, highlighting the devastating impacts of slow-moving storms.” 👇bit.ly/36SrnVB

This recent paper highlights research inequity in the plant sciences based on available resources, language and other characteristics bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.… It makes important points about fashion rather than science governing editorial decisions & the impact of that.

CHÈVRECHOUTISME is the act of attempting to reconcile or make happy two opposing sides who are, in fact, totally irreconcilable. It derives from a French idiom, ‘ménager la chèvre et le chou’—which literally means ‘to accommodate the goat and the cabbage’.

'Fall' was common in British English until the 17th century, when 'autumn', from French, took over. It's short for 'fall of the leaf' (just as 'spring' is short for the 'spring of the leaf') and was the successor to the Old English name for the season, hærfest, 'harvest'.

.@LukeJerram's done it again - another incredible display on our campus, this time at @BristolChem 🎨 Inside the dome is an ‘Extinction Bell’. Tolling 150 to 200 times a day at random, it indicates the number of species lost worldwide every 24 hours: bit.ly/palmtemple
