First evidence in Europe of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 infection in a dairy cow. Antibodies against H5N1 detected in a cow with mastitis and respiratory signs on a Dutch dairy farm at the end of December. A cat on that farm had died from H5N1. www.tweedekamer.nl/downloads/do...

Forgive me... but I had to write something about the Many Worlds view of quantum mechanics. It comes out of a discussion I had here with @orzelc.bsky.social (who, to my knowledge, is not actually an Everettian).

On the Many Worlds... again
I didn't intend to come back to it, honest. But I got poked.

Happy NY!!! Since 2014 we have pioneered the restoration of overgrown ponds & lost infilled #ghostponds in the UK. Our methods, learnt from a wonderful farmer (Richard Waddingham), are mega successful & lead to massive biodiversity gains for aquatic & terrestrial species. Please support us in 2026 🎉

One of the real highlights of being South Norfolk’s MP is welcoming constituents to Westminster. Today was one of those days. Great to host visitors from Hethersett.

NEW: ByHeart says that a lab found botulism-causing bacteria in its baby formula. 31 babies in 15 states have been hospitalized.
One dad of a baby who was gradually paralyzed by the botulism toxin said his son's cry became a "prolonged, soft moan."

In 1854, Bernhard Riemann introduced a theory about how to study geometric spaces in any dimension. Most mathematicians at the time found his ideas to be too vague to be of much use. They are now a mathematical staple. www.quantamagazine.org/what-is-a-ma...
