If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

Mornin’. Didn’t realise a formal #introduction was de rigueur on here - my bad. I’m the Bee Guy - the founder of the first and only native wild bee sanctuary on the planet - The Bee Sanctuary of Ireland. Not for profit social enterprise 24/7 365 advocating for our native wild bees. Not about honey bees - they’re fine. Only on here for the #bees & #planet. Heart on my sleeve, head in the stars, feet in a muddy puddle. Big plans. Need your support. Thoughtful brave disruption. Language matters.1/n

It looks like this platform might finally become more populated, so let me (re)introduce this page.

Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of three people: a computational neuroscientist, a psychologist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.

Posting interests below so we show up in mutual searches:

#introduction: I am obsessed with the biology of #hallucinations and #delusions.

I am a #newPI at the Francis Crick Institute, London. In our lab, the #Psychosis Collective, we study the neural circuits and immune processes underlying unfounded perceptions and thoughts 🐭 👤 . I look forward to great #neuroscience #immunology #neuroimmunology #psychiatry here!

This is me moving to London without ever having been to London before.

RT @RBReich: Memo to the media: Please don't say inflation is at a 40-year high without also mentioning that corporate profits are at a 70-year high. Give the people the full picture.

Obligatory ! My background is in architectural engineering and environmental design - I am currently a research associate at Newcastle University where I study how a person's immediate environment can affect their health outcomes. I am obsessed with street networks. In my free time you can find me at the allotment, or collecting interesting rocks on the beach.

To supplement my last toot of 800,000 years of CO2 data, here's a graph of the past 2000 years for CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide (all greenhouse gases, measured in parts per million) again showing the effect of human activities driving up the concentrations. These are the gases driving #climate change.

At the rate the current twitter exodus is going I will hit 30,000 followers by the end of the week... Gonna have to celebrate :)

@davoloid

Its a QOTO feature and yes you can access it from our web client.

It lets you follow a user without them knowing you are following them and without them needing to approve of you as a follower if it is locked down.

The down side is you will only see their public posts and any follower-only posts you cant see unnless you follow.

Early Warnings for All Action Plan unveiled at COP27

"The estimated new targeted investments of US$ 3.1 Billion over the five years would be used to advance the four key Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (MHEWS) pillars:

Disaster risk knowledge (US$374 million) - systematically collect data and undertake risk assessments on hazards and vulnerabilities
Observations and Forecasting (US$1.18 billion) - develop hazard monitoring and early warning services
Preparedness and response ($1 billion) - build national and community response capabilities
Dissemination and communication (US$ 550 million) - communicate risk information so it reaches all those who need it, and is understandable and usable

The plan identifies key areas for advancing universal disaster risk knowledge, and outlines the priority actions required to achieve this, building on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction."
