Hey CNN and everybody else: the answer to this question is 'Nothing'. We don't need to know anything about the jurors. Just let them do their job. The lack of self-awareness here — when you also have a front page story about jurors being afraid of being identified — is bizarre.

It's Bat Appreciation Day! Bats are the 2nd most diverse group of mammals after rodents. 22% of all mammal species are bats, with 1,450+ species—and they live on every continent except Antarctica. They are also the only mammals that can truly fly!

Listen to his laugh and convince me he’s not pure evil.

Does look a tiny bit like Satan's elderly father who's now in an infernal care home.

Having written many nonfiction words about Charles Darwin and his work, I now want to read a bunch of his letters for a story idea. How lucky I am that MyDearDarwin has made his life in letters available to all of us online! #DarwinCorrespondenceProject

I grew up eating Easter ham. It's been a lot of years since I ate pigs (or cows or chickens) and never, never again. How could I study animal love and animal grief and eat animals? Always the phrase is in my mind: 'They want to live as much as I do.' #plantbased #Easter #animals

Truly honoured to be on the shortlist for the inaugural Women's Prize for Non-Fiction, and alongside some of my favourite books of the years. Thank you!

Thunderbird just suggested I change 'bergamot' to 'ambergris.' Clearly the good people at Mozilla think my life is more exotic than it really is. I mean . . . tea, or rare and priceless whale snot?

One of the most horrifying graphics ever.

LOVE this! Bees make the world go 'round -- literally. So critically important to life ... flora, fauna, us.
