In 1888, Catherine Impey founded Britain's first anti-racism periodical. She worked with Frederick Douglass, Ida B Wells and many others to try to change this country. That campaign grew in influence until it ended in tragedy, leaving a major, 'what if?' edition.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.co.…

The sun’s out, my late tulips are out and, today, in the US, The Brain Book is out. Introducing the nervous system to 5-9 year olds. I hope you like it, America!

Out today, a brilliant book by a brilliant writer. Congrats, @neurograce and @sigmascience
