Lottie Dod won Wimbledon today in 1887 at age 15. She still has the record as youngest woman to do so.
She won four more.
Then won the British ladies golf championship, played hockey for England and won a silver in the Olympics at archery.
She served as a nurse in WW1. https://t.co/dwUjfgrjyr

One of the least explored areas, the deep sea provides so much for humanity, including climate regulation and fisheries, all of which we should aim to understand better before destroying.

Re @GreenJennyJones There have been 20 'resignation honours lists' since 1895. But five of those lists weren't acted on, and a number were actually dissolution honours after an electoral defeat. So since 1895, there have actually only been 8 actual resignation honours (1)

In 2021 we called for a "vaccines-plus" approach to mitigating against covid.
What were were given was a "vaccines-only" approach.
Now it's unarguable that we are doing even less than that.
