Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.
The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️
Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.
He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

This is spot on. It was a choreographed attack.. we saw it with the disrepectful press questioning. We saw it in Trump’s hectoring. We saw it in Vance’s thuggery.

Too often, we focus on how far we still have to go rather than how far we've already come.
Take a moment today to appreciate your progress. Be proud of your all the effort you've invested and the growth you have achieved.
