Although physics is not my strong suit and I am a biologist, knowing about retrocausality blew my mind. 🤯
Allow me to explain: In layman's words, what is retrocausality? 1/10
Retrocausality is a contentious idea because it appears to contradict some of our fundamental beliefs about the nature of time and causality. Retrocausality has been theorised to be feasible in some quantum systems, but supporting evidence is still lacking.
2/10
The possibility of time travel is one of the retrocausality's most intriguing possibilities. It might be feasible to travel back in time and alter the course of history if it were conceivable for effects to occur before their causes.

1 of 10 Interesting in f/up = proposed Trauma Team (tertiary sourced & based : ERPs / Surgeons / RNs / RTs), flown out to a rural site.

Sounds great, right ?

2 of 10 No, not necessarily.

As always, it depends.

Tertiary ≠ Rural = simple fact.

Cardinal rule = you have to know your local milieu & challenges intimately.

Relative risk : tertiary = potentially in deep water rurally, if no recent hands on exposure (and vice-versa).
3 of 10 Again, the rural mantra, which we live or die by : resources, distance, geography, weather, time.

Less relevant for tertiary teams = the latter four (and how you need to adjust to wisely utilize the first).

Prime example : the simple availability of a CT scanner

Thank you for reporting on the difficulties faced by the #NoOutsiders project team ("Gay education in primaries climbs back into the closet" (TES, October 17)

The project's aim to challenge homophobia & transphobia in & thru primary education was always likely2 be controversial
The project's aim to challenge homophobia and transphobia in and through primary education was always likely to be #controversial, but we have no intention of being stopped in our tracks even by the #extremity of #opposition to this #groundbreaking work from certain groups
but we have no intention of being stopped in our tracks even by the extremity of opposition to this groundbreaking work from certain groups.

It seems that there are some people who will stand out against equality whatever the changes in the law

Check out ERC.edu and click on guidelines for public comment to see the latest changes and key recommendations #RESUS20
Systems save lives highlighting systemic changes we can make globally by engaging governments and linking up the chain of survival @fsemeraro1973 #RESUS20 #kidssavelives
The biggest impact we can have is probably with dispatch and first responder CPR. Bystander engagement is fundamental. Is this the weakest link in the chain? Start young and implement in schools #systemssavelives #kidssavelives #checkcallcompress #callcompressdefibrillate

New paper with @piersforster now out in @NatureClimate - Energy budget constraints on historical radiative forcing nature.com/articles/s4155…

Provides a top down energy budget constraint on historical radiative forcing of 2.3 (1.7 to 3.0) [5-95%] Wm-2. Thread: [1/n]
Radiative forcing is a fundamental quantity for understanding the drivers of climate change, yet significant uncertainty remains in our quantification & model representation of it. For example see any paper that includes @gunnarmy including this epic journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.117… [2/n]
What we do is combine measurements of historical temperature change dT & Earths heat uptake dN alongside model reconstructions of Earth’s radiative response Y. Constrains historical forcing F via energy budget eqn F=dN+YdT. Like Otto etal nature.com/articles/ngeo1… in reverse [3/n]
