British science week
British Science Week starts today and runs from 7th to 16th March 2025. This year's theme is adapt and change.
This seems rather apt given yesterday's post on H5N1 jumping species.

Arctic Sea Ice and Extreme Weather Events
Research looking at the relationship with Arctic Sea Ice and extreme weather. The main graphic shows how as sea ice level has fallen, temperatures have risen.
We know that everything is linked, and our climate seems to be a fine balance, creating the right conditions for life to exist. Human activity is impacting this and more so since industrialisation, and the increased CO_2 emissions this has caused.
So this research is important, it is also peer-reviewed and has links and references to other related research. I am including the Starlink article in the list of links, as the damage to the atmosphere from this are also well documented.

H5N1 Update: February 28
Slight delay to this, due to other posts being scheduled. I feel it is important to share as it seems unreported by mainstream media. H5N1 is spreading and according to the Epidemiology (Look it up) seems to be able to jump species.
Also sharing without the tracking, which is not needed.
Given the current US policies and health, science, vaccines this is very worrying too.

CDC Staff Prohibited From Co-Authoring Papers With World Health Organization Personnel
Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been prohibited from co-authoring publications with World Health Organization staff, dealing a blow to global research efforts and continuing the Trump administration’s aggressive attack on government-funded science. [1]
This is really not good, collaboration is really important for research. Why can't Trump and Co see this. ??

STEAM Cafe 3
The discovery centre in Paignton is now open, located at the back of the café, it has a range of interactive displays and activities centred around STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics)
Engineering wall, this is a great activity you can attach different components to the wall and experiment with what happens when you turn one component and how ths interacts with other components. What happens when you connect 2 or more cogs of the same size, what happens if they are different sizes etc?
