Vaccines teach our immune system to recognise and fight specific germs—no infection needed. 🌱
- They’re rigorously tested for safety.
- Different formats exist (live‑attenuated, mRNA, protein subunit, etc.).
- Widespread immunisation cuts disease spread, protects the vulnerable, and eases strain on health systems.#VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #ScienceMatters #Immunisation #StayInformed

... they stumbled upon an intriguing pattern: #schizophrenia, a serious mental illness affecting people across virtually every known society, appeared to be entirely absent in people who had been #blind from birth.
The observation sat largely ignored for decades, held back by limited understanding of the #disease and a lack of patient data

In 1950, two researchers noticed something that didn’t quite add up. Hector #Chevigny, a writer who had lost his sight in adulthood, and #psychologist Sydell #Braverman were studying the #psychological lives of blind people when they stumbled upon an intriguing pattern ...

🏡 Here is the data analysis for Calgary, Summer 2025. This chart shows the relationship between vegetation density (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST).
🔥 The data reveals a critical "tipping point": vegetation only starts effectively cooling the environment once it reaches a specific density threshold. Below this threshold (the left side of the curve), green spaces stay just as hot as the surrounding concrete.
Sparse or isolated trees don't act as air conditioners—they "burn" in the urban furnace right along with us.❗ What does this mean for Calgary? Simply planting a few scattered trees isn't enough. To actually move the needle on temperature, we need dense, healthy green belts. Otherwise, it’s just a waste of water and resources.

Seriously wrong: Flood-hit Lincolnshire residents at odds with Reform MP over climate change
Constituents’ frustration with Richard Tice reflects growing problem for party and its leaders’ climate-sceptic stance Boston, nestled at the northern end of the Fens, is on the frontline of the UK’s flooding crisis, which experts say could lead to some towns being abandoned as climate breakdown makes many areas uninsurable https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/mar/25/boston-lincolnshire-flooding-reform-uk-richard-tice-climate
