I've lived in the UK for better part of 25 years and have read British literature for longer than that, and it's only TODAY I learned that Americans frown with our mouths and the British frown with their foreheads. You freaks.

It’s time to post this quote again…

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

This is a great piece by @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social with helpful tips for addressing COVID misinformation.

As a science communicator, my experience is that the best way to win people over is with empathetic real world conversations and it's work we all need to do if we want to turn things around.
