Yo, check this one out. Probably Trychopeplus laciniatus, a stick insect that evolved to mimic moss. Found it in the cloud forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

Tesco makes nearly £4bn profit.

Nearly 50% of its workforce are on Universal Credit, receiving about £600m a year.

Why isn't Tesco paying?

Fantastic graphics and very useful thread for #geographyteacher hazards. Thanks for sharing 🙏
We applied double-difference relocation to the mainshock and 3280 aftershocks to illuminate the fault rupture geometry, and we explore the implications in terms of regional tectonics.

When we trawled data on excess nitrate & phosphate pollution (key drivers of algal blooms) we found agriculture was the primary source in rural areas, sewage in urban areas. As Chowns says, to save our rivers, we need to tackle both.

The National Governors Association (NGA) has canceled its annual White House meeting after President Trump only invited Republican governors to the gathering.

The yearly meeting is traditionally bipartisan and offers a chance for state leaders to convene with one another and the president.

History repeating itself?

UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it.

Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.

Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

A new all-electric double-decker Climate Stripes bus has started taking passengers around Reading today.

The bus shows the warming stripes for Reading back to the 1860s and will hopefully help start climate conversations amongst passengers.

Breaking: Helsinki, Finland, has just recorded its lowest sea level on record, as a cold easterly flow and strong high pressure have pushed water out of the Baltic Sea.

The observed minimum this morning was −93.5 cm below normal.

The Helsinki tide gauge record goes back to 1904.

We must confront the reality that we may have reached the limits of a solely fines-based model. The new water regulator, must have the necessary tools to hold companies & individual members to account for serious & persistent failings; otherwise it will not succeed, just as other regulators have not
