My uni have just withdrawn Geography, History & Geography and Politics & Geography undergrad courses run from our Penryn campus. Terrible for Cornwall. How did the staff find out? When UCAS clearing opened at 8am 😡

2/ The Mail story provides zero evidence of any link between rewilding & wildfires - just loud accusations from the usual self-interested suspects of grouse moor owners & lobbyists. They’ve even had to caveat a wildfire photo saying ‘there’s no suggestion this fire was as a result of rewilding’!

The grouse moor lobby is out in force today, blaming ‘rewilding’ for wildfires and demanding government lift restrictions on… burning moorland! They want to burn heather because it increases grouse numbers. You don’t fight fire with fire. You fight it with water! www.dailymail.com/news/article...

The original English version of the story is available online: "Mushrooms, like so many things, were both a blessing and a curse..." www.uncannymagazine.com/article/unfi...

The man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE. At #ppa26Berlin last week, @uniofbradford.bsky.social scientist Jo Buckberry concluded he was likely whacked by a flying boulder, making him the first confirmed trebuchet death in the archaeological record. @science.org
