My grandmother was a friend of Spike Milligan. One day at lunch they both suddenly exploded. We were all covered in Nanoparticles and Spike protein. Since then it’s been nothing but blood clots and turbo-cancers. Fauci needs to be hung!

Compare how the brave & outspoken @haaretzcom reports this story, compared with the ever-spineless @BBCNews. Its very hard to understand the BBC headline as anything other than a shameful shielding of Israel from blame & a deliberate obfuscation of the true story. Its not "gunfire and chaos" by nameless anarchists, its a deliberate massacre of starving Palestinians by the IDF. Are the senior managers at the BBC really unable to tell the difference? Is there no one inside or outside the BBC who can hold them to account and stop the Orwellian twisting of the truth?

An excellent explanation of why cheaper drug prices in Europe have nothing to do with the U.S. “effectively subsidizing socialist healthcare systems in Germany, in all parts of the EU."
Replying to @BehizyTweets
There are 5 factors that affect pricing in US: 1. No Central Price Negotiation. In Europe, national health authorities negotiate prices directly with pharmaceutical companies. In the US, private insurers can’t centrally negotiate. 2. Patent and Market Exclusivity. US allow longer patent protections, market exclusivity and patent strategies like evergreening (a way to extend your patent lifetime. 3. Profit Driven Health Care System. You have multiple layers of profit. Pharma, insurers, hospitals, etc. Most of Europe have public health care which removes several layers of profit, as well as system does not gain from high pricing. 4. Marketing and Direct-to-consumer ads. Not allowed in Europe, while in US Pharma invest heavy in marketing ads. 5. Insurance Structure. High level of co-payment on medical purchases. None of this benefit Europe on behalf of US. US have built this system themselves. It’s easy to fix, but would be quite a fight with the lobby organisations.

a natural science PhD is more demanding than a humanities one are not aware that most (e.g.) physics PhDs involve an apprenticeship in an established lab, where every aspect of your research is set down in advance. Yes you might well add to knowledge but . . .

essentially the framework you are working in contains your work in a way not the case in human sciences or humanities.

To addiction experts in the UK: would you say the name Betty Ford is well known in this country in relation to addictions treatment or recovery?

FFS can you not read? A theory never becomes a law. They are separate categories. There is not a single piece of evidence that falsifies the theory of evolution by natural selection. When JR Haldane was asked what evidence could destroy his confidence in the theory he said . .

“Rabbits in the pre-Cambrian”. No evidence analogous to that has ever been found.

I have said recently that there is far too much use of emojis and other symbols, but I was immediately accused of being antisemiotic.

Love @chrisgreybrexit's description of Brexit as a mug's eyeful. That is, a shoddy product dressed up with superfluous, superficial features that are all useless and break within days, like his first boombox. #mugseyeful

A problem with having an eminent scientist with the same name is that I get messages like this from Academia: Tim Leighton ✏️ Did you write "Sonoluminescence from the unstable collapse of a conical bubble"? I now have to spend time wondering what a conical bubble is.

No 10 says it will produce ‘emergency’ bill to show Rwanda safe country ‘in coming weeks' - why not emergency legislation to show our rivers are sparkling and pure or to show that food prices are steadily falling?
