On Health Check @bbcworldservice this week the health crisis in Sudan, the ticks that might carry disease hitching lifts on migrating birds and can hot chocolate really improve your vascular health?

Can you forget your native language? A listener from Cameroon asked CrowdScience to find out, so @anandjagatia, @owlglass and I looked into how language loss happens, and how to stop it. Listen now @bbcworldservice:

A fascinating podcast about how and why we can 'lose' languages we once knew - a worry for many people living and working away from their (usually beloved) mother tongue. Produced by my talented colleague @MSessaHawkins - check it out 📻🎧

Prof. Monika Schmid was featured as expert in the latest BBC CrowdScience programme, called "Why do languages fade from us?" Listen to the programme and learn more about language attrition here: https://t.co/PZkILdvvdX

Always a pleasure to be back on my all time favourite global health audio show with the wonderful @claudiahammond @MSessaHawkins @Katie_Tomsett & team https://t.co/9m7RdgZJdm

Following Haiti's expansion of the state of emergency, what does health care look like in the country? @Jacquiecharles gives us an update. @claudiahammond

As MPox vaccines finally arrive in the DRC, this week's Health Check looks at why the process has taken so long. @claudiahammond @misslfoster @snolen

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning: "For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles." Well worth your time: https://t.co/eHalcNkiBX

For anyone interested in MPox, @snolen's piece on why it's taking so long for vaccines to get where they need to be is a must-read. https://t.co/D0OnlieGsw

States that are actually ~commonwealths~ when introducing themselves during the state roll call.

On Aug. 7 we did a general explainer of how we got here with MPox & what could come next. It also looks at how this relates to health inequalities, which is an important component of this story that we shouldn't forget. @ikeanya @claudiahammond https://t.co/YyOplitp8b

I'm gonna explain to y'all why Britain considers 78°F/25°C hot. I know hot because I grew up in Texas and spent half my life in Las Vegas. So I am absolutely qualified to explain this to the rest of you who laugh at UK "heat waves".

One that's dear to my heart. Got to return to Malawi to cover this incredibly important issue. Such a pleasure and a privilege to be back for a bit. @MLW_Programme @claudiahammond

Story: Pre-announcement, the winner was described as "an infectious joy" so most of us knew; but Caroline was apparently thinking, 'Not me. Lots of people are an infectious joy.' But it was her & if you listen to her programs you know why. A privilege to work with you kid.

Super chuffed, not least because it was the highest honor you could get and not have to go up on stage. (There's a reason I'm in radio).

Here it is, the inaugural Farnham’s First Five Thousand Longlist ⭐️ Congratulations everyone! Shortlist announcement - Sunday 10 March 🗓️ #farnhamlitfest #First5000

What time was the first clock set to? 🕰️ @wez535 @orzelc and @annarolls1 help me find out. I got to visit lots of old clocks 🙃 including the oldest working mechanical clock and Big Ben. Producer: @MSessaHawkins https://t.co/z2y9YhjcCb

My first CrowdScience is out, on the incredibly important topic of deforestation. Thanks to the inimitable @CarolineSteel3 for all her help and guidance.

Could humans ever hibernate like bears and squirrels? That's among the curious questions explored in the latest episode of Unexpected Elements https://t.co/WQGaF2KUw7

Hello from @BBCScienceClub where we are having an actual in-depth discussion about whether it is appropriate to refer to pre-hibernation bears as 'fat'. @CarolineSteel3
