On 8th Oct 1952 the worst civilian rail disaster in UK history happened in London. 112 would die. 340 would be injured.

That accident, and the actions of one woman from Florida have saved THOUSANDS of lives since.

Because that disaster would help lead to the creation of paramedics. /1 🧵 #healthcare #history

Hi, we are BBC News Labs #introduction

We’re charged with driving innovation for BBC News. Our team of technologists and journalists explore how new tools and formats affect how news is found and reported.

You can find out more at https://bbcnewslabs.co.uk/ and we’ll be posting here about our work

This account is part of an experiment from BBC R&D in establishing a BBC presence in the Fediverse.

Hi! 👋 Here's our #introduction.

We're BBC Research & Development; we explore and test new technology to discover how the BBC can best make use of it in the future.

For 100 years our engineers have been at the forefront of developments in broadcasting.

We're now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet – along with all the flexibility and creativity that brings.

5G, AI, next-gen audio, UHD, personal data… we are investigating all these – and more!

Every year more boys than girls are born, but sometimes the ratio gets even more out of whack. It's been called 'the returning soldier effect'. What causes it? Professor Hannah Fry investigates, on BBC Sounds.

#intro #présentation

Je suis chercheuse en #Economie du #ChangementClimatique au centre-cired.fr. Je travaille sur les impacts du changement climatique et sur les trajectoires et politiques d'atténuation du CC, en me concentrant souvent sur les liens avec les #inégalités.

J'ai participé au rapport du #GIEC sur l'atténuation, et je suis membre du Haut conseil pour le climat.

Je parlerai ici de #recherche, #enseignement, #interdisciplinarité, #transformations pour notre avenir commun.

If you haven’t heard, we're launching a completely reimagined open-access repository in 2024. It’s currently under heavy construction. 🚜🚧🦺

In the newest Building the Commons blog, Ian Scott, our developer leading the project, shows why the new repository is vital to the life of the Commons! https://building.hcommons.org/2023/09/26/what-is-a-repository-for/

Just seen a new favourite response to AI text. "Why should I bother to read something nobody could be bothered to write?"

It can happen to the best of us.
