Now can someone do the same for battery? 🔋🔋🔋

Solar is giving the world **cheap daytime** electricity.

I would never have guessed frigatebird (any of them) but how interesting their distribution! Has anyone ever looked generally at the ecology (& spatial distribution) of (obligate) kleptoparasitism?

This is such a good article on how the undermining of universities is part of an anti-democratic movement:

“Anti-university rhetoric is the language of an international pro-authoritarian movement opposed to centers of learning that model liberal-democratic values”

Tracing the roots of anti-university rhetoric (opinion)

Bradford Vivian writes that growing anti-university sentiment can be traced to pro-authoritarian movements abroad.

here I try to argue why it is ethically problematic and even dangerous to ascribe personhood and -rights to they point of inception. The Faroese parliament will vote on Tuesday about replacing the abortion law from 1956, giving women the right to choose abortion up to week 12. 🇫🇴

Um persónleiki byrjar við gitnaði, so hava tvíburar bara eina sál? – og IVF er eitt brotsverk?
