An incongruous individual

Nigel Witham @nigelwitham.bsky.social · 21d

A stark contrast to all the references to Jane Goodall over the last few days. You might think our politicians would read those and understand that more hatred is the antithesis of what is truly admired, popular and necessary.

What if we stop shouting?

Those who don’t understand science feel disenfranchised by the system and our world of technology.

It’s not a fight about the science, it’s a fight for science.

It’s hard to avoid palm oil because it goes under so many euphemistic names. We could do with large, clear ‘CONTAINS PALM OIL’ labels instead of misleading small print.
