On the BBC News @ Six, Clive Myrie enthusiastically says that Gazans are returning home.

They're not returning home Clive because their homes have been destroyed. They're returning to find the rubble where their homes used to be. Significantly different Clive. They're homeless now. 😔

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.
SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Hoping very much that one of the positive outcomes of any truce will be the start of a process whereby Benjamin Netanyahu is out of power and finally held accountable for the unforgivable errors which led to October 7.

Day 7, Share. Inoviruses are filamentous single stranded DNA phages that can be produced continuously and exported by their host without lysis and killing their host. They have a single repeating major coat protein that covers their length and specialised spike proteins. #Drawtober #SciArt #Phagesky
Black and white ink drawing of two long filamentous phages. The one in the background is all the same distance away. In the foreground is a close up of the spike proteins of the closer phage with 5 repeated protein complexes forming what looks almost like a flower, the rest of the inovirus loops around into the background

Very happy to share that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the department of Biological Sciences at the University of South Carolina in January! My group will be working on environmental phage ecology and evolution, and I am recruiting for the upcoming year (more info below).

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead

"Far from comprehensive, the list does not include the thousands still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as well as the war’s many indirect victims"

Gaza flotilla members allege beatings and insults in Israeli detention

"...sleep and medication deprivation, beatings, having automatic rifles pointed at their heads, dogs set upon them, having to sleep on the floor, being subjected to insults..."

Day 5, Moon. The physical structures of phages are often compared to the shape and landing action of a lunar lander, with tail fibres reminiscent of the landing struts, to gently settle on the surface of its host. #Drawtober #SciArt #Phagesky
Black and white ink drawing of the moon, with a giant phage on the top right that is half the width of the moon. The moon and phage are white, surrounded by a black circular background of messy, overlapping concentric circles

Studying the clues ancient microbes left behind in the fossil record might help us find life elsewhere in the universe.

Photo of a women smiling to the camera and with glasses. Text says: “If we go, say, to Mars or the moons of Jupiter, and we are able to pull a sample …  If you find molecules that are preserved that are similar to what we see in the past here on this planet, you can start to make that connection.” -Dr. Paula Welander
