The Respect Agenda: new report shows voters prioritise respect
The UK can reset its politics and rebuild faith in the country's institutions by prioritising respect for ordinary people, finds a new report from the UCL Policy Lab and More in Common. Professor Marc Stears said: "For too many years we have talked about 'left behind communities' and the need to 'level up.' Now we discover millions of people across the country feel that they are not given the respect they deserve, by their politicians or many of their key institutions.

Two catastrophic years obliterate 10% of glaciers
One extreme year follows another. Glaciers in Switzerland lost 6% of their volume in 2022. However, 2023 saw 4% destroyed, representing the second largest decline since measurements began.

Multitude of indicators of equine insulin dysregulation and therefore laminitis risk
Last Updated: 28 Sep 2023 12:00:40 A new study from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has determined new factors that can indicate insulin dysregulation (ID) in ponies. The study findings confirm that physical observation (i.e., looking at the external characteristics of the individual animal) alone is not a wholly accurate predictor of the condition which is associated with an increased risk of laminitis.

SLS 2.0: ’Dark time’ during the upgrade
The Swiss Light Source SLS at PSI will shut down temporarily as part of a major upgrade project. It will come back online in 2025, ready to supply even more powerful synchrotron light than ever for innovative scientific experiments. At 8 a.m. on the morning of Saturday 30 September, the Swiss Light Source SLS, one of PSI's five large research facilities, will be shut down.
