World Health Assembly adopts Pandemic Agreement, ups funding for WHO:
The United States didn’t participate in final negotiations, which might have provided a silver lining, . "With the current administration seemingly intent on dismantling global public health efforts, this may be the best-case scenario if the rest of the world can come together," . "In that way, this new agreement is a spot of light in an otherwise dark geopolitical environment for fighting pandemics."

@futurebird Modern ants are one of the most dominant animal groups on Earth, with over 17,000 ant species found throughout every continent except Antarctica. Scientists think ants diverged from the evolutionary lineage that wasps originated from, then took on a more ant-like form during the Cretaceous period with a smaller thorax and a specialized secreting gland unique to ants.

@futurebird
The oldest ant fossil ever discovered had forward-facing scythe-like jaws it used to hunt, according to a new study in Current Biology. 
Now the oldest ant specimen known to science, the roughly half-inch-long 113-million-year-old impression preserved in limestone was found in northeastern Brazil, and is a new genus belonging to the “hell ant” subfamily Haidomyrmecinae. Hell ants only lived during the Cretaceous period, which ended 66 million years ago. 🧵

@auschwitzmuseum

I see that your organization still uses and supports X (Twitter). How can the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum support this evil, fascist dictator, Elon Musk? It truly baffles me.

I am astonished that the #Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and Memorial
https://www.auschwitz.org/en/
still supports or at least has an account on X (Twitter). They have at least one account here. @auschwitzmuseum
I have written them to express my dismay and have urged them to drop their X account with no response. I believe that it would help if as many of us as possible would write them to express your feelings about this.

INTERESTINGLY, if I keep my eyes open while I am drying my face, even though I cannot see anything at all, somehow my body is able to be satisfied with that amount of input, and keep me stable and steady. The moment I close my eyes, I get wobbly. Open them even if I cannot see, and I am fine. Cool, huh? (END)

However if I towel dry in the shower before getting out, and I am drying my face and hair, I instantly lose visual reference since the towel covers my eyes. So now I only have two points in space unless I use one hand on the towel, and one hand on a grab bar. (3)

Our body always wants to have three reference points since we live in 3D space. This can be a combination of two position sensors, and vision. Here is an interesting situation. When I shower, and am standing up, I place my normal leg and foot on the floor of the shower, and kneel on a shower stool. Combine that with my visual reference of my position in space, and I am golden. (2)

We all keep our balance, our awareness of position in space, by analysing feedback we get from receivers in our skin and joints (proprioceptors) and from our visual assessment of our position in space. I am a below knee #amputee, so I have lost the position sensors in my foot, ankle, and leg. I gauge the location of my leg in space through my knee and secondarily, through my hip. 🧵

You want to order Italian. You want bruschetta. If you want to sound like an Italian, pronounce it like this: Broo-sketta, with the accent on the sketta part. Not Broosheta. When the C in Italian is followed by an H it sounds hard like the K in kick. If you really want to sound like an Italian, give the 2 Ts a bit of a kick. When two consonants appear together in words in Italian, generally they are punched a bit: Broo-skeTTa. Make it fun. Sound like you know what you are ordering.😀
