The sophisticated COLIBRE simulations finally land on the arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2508.21126. Treating these with sonification, we can get new intuition for galaxy evolution to augment our visuals. Sound on for the explainer vid, visit the site for more! colibre.strw.leidenuniv.nl/videos.html 🔭🧪

Just got warned that the new "Voice Isolation" feature in Teams, if turned on and trained on a male voice, will filter out all the women in the room, while still allowing the men in the room to be heard online.

Putting a disabled adult into a home costs £65k per year, plus. By taking away the £12k that carers get to support disabled living at home, the government risks higher costs in the long run. Carers are under supported, not overpaid. This is such a cruel false economy.
New analysis from JRF shows if you’re a carer your household could lose a staggering amount as a result of disability benefits cuts.
This is because you’ll no longer be entitled to Carers Allowance. A huge hit to families already struggling.

Some families with a disabled adult stand to lose over £12,000 per year by 2029/30 as a result of the Government's disability benefit cuts.
Hardship being deepened by rebuilding the nations finances on the backs of disabled people
