On the morning of October 21, 1966, Aberfan was shrouded in mist. At 9.13am on that day, this clock stopped. At the same time, 116 children and 28 adults died, in their school and in their homes. We share this clock to make sure they are never, ever forgotten ❤️

My #FavouriteBee for #WorldBeeDay - Anthophora alluaudi, a Canary Island endemic that's one of the most abundant and important pollinators on Tenerife. We've studied it since 2003 and, despite its abundance, have found precisely one nesting site for this enigmatic species.

Lockdown has dramatically cut carbon emissions - but it won't be enough to slow down climate change, say researchers from @UK_CEH. "We need a much larger effort to move away from fossil energy and use less energy in the future." orlo.uk/KMpGO
