@LSHTM All this talk of a first malaria vaccine ... first approved, maybe.
I can't be the only person who remembers early trials by a Venezuelan whose name, alas, I cannot remember. There was protection, but not enough. Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about?
@Economicbotany This six-week online course on Country Houses and the British Empire looks like it would be great, based on previous lectures from @corinne_fowler. I hope I can make time for it.
@ajspadial What made you remember?
@FallingTreeProd I've only heard one episode so far, but Scene on Radio's new series on the environmental crises with @amywestervelt is riveting, easily equaling the quality of previous series.
@scatmandan Understood. And thanks for the picture of your poster. I'm new to the game and didn't know about that, but I've bookmarked the poster generator for next time.
@scatmandan Interesting. I was surprised when clicking on a hashtag to be taken to Twitter rather than your posts about geohashing on your own site. Is that deliberate?
There's just one problem with blaming Monsanto for "the public's distrust of GMOs" and that is that the majority of the public, at least in the US, do not distrust GMOs but willingly eat it at every opportunity. For those that do mistrust GMOs, yes, I too would blame Monsanto.
OK, I've had time to think about this and to do something, and I guess there's even a chance it could catch on, if @arush and @ladyhope are agreeable.

Peter Rukavina is working on changing his life by doing eight critical things each day. I reckon that's too many. If I get three done, I count that as a win. Maybe I need to trim my idea what constitutes a thing.
@b_pritchard Absolutely appalling. Whatever happened to the nationalist promise of being better able to feed its citizens? There can be no excuse for an increase in stunting these days.
