Excited to see this out - congrats @SAHowardSmith !
I spent a good chunk of 2020/1 with post-covid anosmia and parosmia. @ExploreWellcome gave me the chance to reflect on my own experiences and what the @AnosmiaHistory project discovered about how people responded to smell loss in the past. Read here:

Like so many, all @RoyalHistSoc are deeply saddened to learn of the death of our friend, Arthur Burns. Arthur was a true champion of History and a member of the RHS Council, 2008-16. We are very grateful to @PeterMandler1 for his words in our statement https://t.co/cR2jFdDn1o

Lovely if sad thread on urban ecology in my neighbourhood. Thank you for bringing this to attention.
“Before landscapes die, they first vanish in the imagination”. This is the story of a small brook on the outskirts of London, the Aldersbrook, which has survived against the odds, but in the worst state imaginable, & my attempts to act as a guardian of this river & its rights🧵

Please sign this petition to support English, Theatre and Creative Writing at Birkbeck. Despite coming SECOND in REF 2021, and being a world-leading department, it is threatened with devastating cuts. Power to creative intellect in the heart of London.
Time to start doing things, Birkbeck supporters! Please RT widely! https://t.co/YY6Yp874JO

This is going to be normal politics until politicians realise that crisis not growth is the new norm and that the world’s realities are shattering the platitudes of partisan politics and career ambition at an ever more rapid pace.
