Yeah, it's actually not too bad, but I still don't think it's a stat they needed to share with me ;)

that sounds a lot, but I think it’s about 3.5 cups a day?

Nespresso informs me that I have drunk 13 thousand coffees with them in the past 10 years.
I feel like certain stats are best left unknown...
had a look at the report
In my opinion, key constraints to achieving the vision set out in the report are:
1) lack of political will
2) short term thinking
3) lack of support for international orgs
4) rejection of technology by activists
5) economic system rigged to make rich people richer

Waste of characters saying it’s a Nature research paper promoted by the Nature account... More impactful to get straight to the point without the build up😉
X’s algorithms are not neutral tools, but an editorial force, shaping real worldviews. And unlike much of what you read on X, this finding is based on rigorous research.

So the UK uniquely had a research system focused on basic research, and a policy that assumed industry would full the vacuum of applied research.
That was a false assumption. And UK industrial R&D didn't adapt as well as the policy hoped. Policy changes take time to have an impact...
And...
Our new paper on cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Tigray Ethiopia. While the national numbers of CL cases reported to WHO remain low (~ 1,000 p.a.), the paper gives evidence that the disease is widespread in rural Tigray and needs to be higher priority for control pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41706764/
