In the UK, it's #NationalBloodWeek by @givebloodnhs. The NHS is currently short of 200,000 donors. I've been a platelet donor for a while - I donate about every 4 weeks. It's painless and incredibly worthwhile. If you can, please volunteer to donate. https://t.co/A1H3xpUnaW 🅰➖

On 28 May 2025, the Birch Glacier in Switzerland catastrophically failed, generating a massive landslide that has partially buried Blatten. So what happens next? https://t.co/GpyhYWf7cC

I have posted my provisional analysis of fatal landslides in 2024 on my blog. In total, 708 fatal landslides (excluding those triggered by an earthquake), cost 4,492 lives. This is far higher than in any previous year for which I have data. https://t.co/McU041CEyx CC license.
