This is painful. But please read. Please share. Please consider what else you might do? It can be hard to feel as if you can make a difference. But every voice adds up. Silence is not neutrality. Silence is complicity. https://t.co/VK7szEOH6z

The piece was inspired by recent trip to Red Sea, where I saw both thriving reefs and those killed by heatwaves. I met @peixotors and team, who develop coral probiotics that boost reef resilience. Vital work in the race against climate crisis #CoralRestoration #MicrobiomeScience

My new piece in Guardian: 🪸How corals conjure magnificence from nothing! 🪸 Corals build massive reefs in wet deserts by working with microbes to create the ultimate circular economy They've survived mass extinctions but now face dire climate threats https://t.co/qHQfhJGpji

@NowGoCreate and

EXPLODAPEDIA THE BRAIN (@DFB_storyhouse): Available now, from all good bookshops https://t.co/QnYYu8AHSy https://t.co/1KWGApgfaW https://t.co/T9pbuJgWe3 Enjoy!

I spent over 10 years as a neuroscience researcher — so I’m especially delighted to be publishing this book. There’s loads in it for curious minds of all ages, from 11 to 111. Cos let's face it, there's no better time than a new year to understand your own Brian a bit better

As super star brain surgeon and bestselling author Henry Marsh put it, #Explodapedia The Brain is "Splendid" ⭐️

Read this book and you'll never see your brain the same way again. Even when you're feeling truly rotten you'll hopefully remember that your skull contains a brain that is — in a very literal and cosmically improbable sense — mindbogglingly awesome.

You'll discover: -Why yuro barin cna slitl raed tihs sntencee jsut fnie -Why pain only exists in your head -Why your brain is hell bent on predicting the future -Why your brain often ends up arguing with ITSELF -How AI and brain implants might transform our world -And much more!

That said, Brian's brain does feature — you'll venture inside his brain, no less, and get to grips with how it's built and how it weaves its breathtaking wonders, day and night.
