@fasc1nate Was this in Hawkins?

These tunnels were once believed to hide religious fortunes deep in their chambers, but the real treasure is found in who - or what - created them. In 2009, a farmer was driving through his corn field in the south of Brazil when he suddenly felt his tractor sink and lurch to one side, making the vehicle shudder to a halt. Researchers came to investigate and were surprised to find a tunnel nearly 2m high by almost 2m wide and about 15m long running across the field and right under the farmer's house. Deep claw marks embedded into the walls indicated its past occupant was not human. A geologist and one of the scientists who visited the farmer's property, concluded was the work of a giant ground sloth from at least 10,000 years ago.

@Stones2Island @DanNeidle @EssarrMason In fact higher earners pay the majority of income tax so it’s completely fair they get some of it back

Jeremy Hunt is the first Chancellor to undersell a tax cut. Someone earning £50-60k claiming child benefit on three kids has seen their marginal tax rate cut from 71% to 57%. Quick thread:

@joffconnell @MartinSLewis As Martin said, this is a temporary measure to help people now until 2026 whilst the joint family income comes into consideration. The. It will be on household/combined income. Step in the right direction at last

What the Budget 2024 means for your pocket: Martin Lewis’ instant analysis - National Insurance cut, frozen tax rates, Child Benefit boost, no LISA change & more

@10DowningStreet Certainly wouldn’t be visiting you bunch of crooks

If Father Christmas isn’t real, then explain this…

@pete_the_teapot Hahaha love your response 💪

@pete_the_teapot @StEriksogon 1) buy a monster truck. 2) run the cyclists down. 3) use the ‘spare’ Lycra to make a superhero outfit 🦹‍♂️🦸‍♂️👌

@RishiSunak You’ve not saved any pennies, in fact even the London to Birmingham leg is costing above the entire initial budgeted project. Can’t trust you with our money

I am cancelling the rest of the HS2 project. In its place we’ll reinvest every single penny, £36 billion, into hundreds of transport projects in the North, Midlands, and across the country. Here’s why 👇

@RishiSunak Two lies in two paragraphs. Impressive

We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people. We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050.

@MichaelRetchin @dr_alphalyrae We’re looking for an extra backer for a series A raise in gene therapies for AMD (ikarovec)

Scientists who know and love scientists: want to break into VC? A friend of mine just got his startup acquired and is now starting a fund with a lot of backing. And a great thesis: bring biotech to the masses. Reply if interested or message me!

@EyeDaisyShu @UNSWoptomvsci Congratulations! I’m sure checking back through @CterminiPhD posts will be really valuable setting up the Shu Lab! :D

G’day from Sydney! 🐨 I’m so excited to have started my new position as a Scientia Senior Lecturer at @UNSWoptomvsci Thank you for all the support with my move back home as I set up the Shu lab down under! 🇦🇺 If you have any #NewPI tips, send them my way! 🥳 #UNSWScientiaFellows

@HumansNoContext Can I have some sex please

@10DowningStreet @RishiSunak Five in five graduates would be better off if the Tory’s never came to power

One in five graduates would be better off if they hadn’t gone to university. That’s unacceptable. So @RishiSunak is cracking down on rip-off university degrees and boosting skills-based learning. Here’s how👇

Excited to have Paul Lonsdale join us at ikarovec over the Summer as part of the Norwich Research Park Professional Internships for PhD students (PIPS) programme. Paul will be investigating subretinal fibrosis in preclinical models of wAMD 🖐️👁️ #uea #teamcollaboration #upskilling

@pete_the_teapot @ElsevierConnect @James_R_Tribble

Last school science teaching day this morning. Year 3 and 4 will be learning all about what it’s like to suffer from AMD, glaucoma and cataract #stem #teaching #eyehealth #futurescientists

Great to see our image of transduced RGCs in the optic chiasm on the cover of this month's issue of Gene Therapy. If you're interested in AAVs, short promoters, and RGCs this article is worth a read! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36635457/ #GeneTherapy #teamwork #collaboration
