The Convention on Biological Diversity aims to achieve a world “living in harmony with nature”. This won’t happen if the plan goes ahead in its current form.

I’m sick of journalists who keep asking us if we have “hope after the ceasefire.” Stop calling it a ceasefire. It is not a ceasefire when thousands of Palestinian bodies, many of them children, remain buried beneath the rubble for months, while Israel continues to block the

Just listen to the testimony of photojournalist Shadi Abu Sido who was kidnapped by IOF terrorists from Al-Shifa hospital in March 2024. You will never hear this testimony on mainstream media, but the world is awakened. We know who the barbarians are, and we won't forget.

Israel has committed genocide. There is no more serious crime under international law. Culpability does not fade simply because there is now a ceasefire agreement, in the same way that a serial killers wouldn't be pardoned if they simply stop killing. There must be consequences.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

Only UNRWA can deliver lifesaving aid at the scale #Gaza needs. We have the network, the experience, and the trust of the community. The State of Israel must let UNRWA bring in the huge amount of aid that has been blocked in our warehouses in Jordan and Egypt since 2nd March.

While Israel may not be dropping bombs on Gaza at this moment, many countries are actively sending more bombs to be used the next time it breaks the so-called “deal.” I’m old enough to remember March 18, 2025. At the same time, those many countries (is yours one of them) are

This belongs in every headline today!! Abducting him from inside a hospital was a war crime. Killing his son, Ibrahim, was a war crime. Destroying the hospital was a war crime. Holding him, torturing him, for ten months now, is a war crime. Staying silent in the face of all

⭕️ BREAKING: CNN reports that Israel will not release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya as part of the ceasefire deal. “The occupation refused to release Dr Hussam Abu Safiya,” a Hamas official told CNN on Friday. 💔💔💔💔 So you call it a “peace plan”?

CRISPR came from yogurt bacteria. GLP-1s came from Gila monster venom. Taq polymerase came from hot spring bacteria. As much as we like to think that progress in biotech is driven by human design, our biggest breakthroughs over the years have all originated from nature.

The ocean is one of the last great frontiers of biology. More than 90% of all marine life (an estimated 2M species) have not been discovered. Also, only ~10% of the seafloor has been mapped at 100m resolution, "as compared to 100% of...Mars and Venus." We should sequence

It's important to be factual. Hamas did not kill "more than 1,100 Israelis." Israel killed some of those Israelis by enacting the Hannibal Directive, which says that Israel would rather kill its own people than have to negotiate for their release (by releasing some of the

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt". No, me neither.
