Now that we've sailed past the earliest sunset (14th Dec), the solstice (21st) and the latest sunrise, we are well and truly on the way to brighter days!

Throughout the year, @siliconrepublic.bsky.social asked researchers who appeared in our Science Uncovered series to name their unsung heroes of science. The result is a wonderful read, that ranges from @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social to Geoffrey Hinton to They Might Be Giants, love it.
All I want for Christmas is … a list of scientific heroes
From Blindboy Boatclub to Geoffrey Hinton, here is an inspired list of unsung heroes of science.

Time magazine has a long history of essentially trolling the world by naming dictators and strong men "person of the year."
When Vladimir Putin won in 2007, one fan wrote him a particularly gushing letter.... his name was Donald Trump.

Disappointed by failed campaigns, far-right candidates turn to claims of election rigging jrnl.ie/6560663 No lads, and it's mostly lads, the reason you lost is that you're not wanted, your hate is not wanted,in short you are not wanted. And you hardly got any votes. You need those by the way.
