    I'm proud of my union today. When journalists allow themselves or their colleagues to be bullied by politicians, democracy is screwed.

    flying, as Abbas ibn Firnas discovered in the 9th Century when he put on wings, covered himself in feathers and jumped from a height. He reportedly glided for a fair distance but injured his back as he landed.

    It's odd that today of all days Nicola Sturgeon is facing criticism for wanting to approach a referendum with patience and a clear plan for what would happen if she won.

    The thing I find myself wondering about is if the UK would hand him over, like any other citizen, if the US requested it - and if they'd be more likely to due to the need for a friendly post-Brexit trade treaty.

    It's vital that we never forget what hate can do. When trans people - and Jewish people, disabled people, LGB people Romani people etc. - are still attacked in the streets today because of who they are, the evils of the Nazi regime remain to be fully defeated.

    The Nazis sent a lot of trans people to their deaths in concentration camps. By destroying that archive, they also effectively denied many more the treatment that might have saved them from self harm and suicide. The effects of their actions linger to this day.

    The Nazis then tore up the archive, burning most of its contents. Much of that material was irreplaceable. It set back the course of research by decades.

    The Nazis were aware of this and Hirschfeld was violently attacked on several occasions, eventually damaging his skull. He had to flee the country, leaving his archive behind.

    Back in Berlin, before the Nazis came to power, the sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld amassed an amazing archive of research material on trans people, exploring personal experiences and also looking at how help might be provided medically.

    I've seen similar comments about trans people in UK newspapers this weekend. Another thing that commonly crops up today is the notion that doctors shouldn't be trying to help trans people because they haven't been sufficiently well researched.

    Today, on , there are many horrors to reflect on, but it still surprises me how little most people know about what the Nazis did to trans people, whom Hitler described as degenerates and blamed for supposed social disintegration.

    It is . The Nazis targeted Jews Romani people Disabled people Queer and trans people People with the “wrong” political beliefs Slavs and others. Never again means we all have to stand together when any of us is under attack. Never again is now.

    obviously the coronavirus is really serious but probably good to remember that if regular influenza was covered on an infection-by-infection basis with breathless analysis of travel patterns you'd probably never leave the house

    Here's your periodic reminder that basic research is only "useless" until it suddenly becomes the most important thing in the world. 20 years ago, coronavirology was an obscure sub-field the public never heard about. Good thing we funded it anyway.

    far too little because they're ashamed of not knowing everything about everything already. Curiosity is at least as valuable as erudition.

    There's a scene in 'The Captive' which involves the gifting of a posy of violets between the lovers. Many women chose to emulate it, but the use of violets also became a way of indicating one's sexuality to others in the know, in an otherwise hostile society.

    Plenty of people associate lavender with gay men but violets are less well remembered. Their use is thought to originate in Edouard Bourdet's 1926 play 'The Captive', which was eventually ruled obscene because of its depiction of a lesbian romance.

    As today's is concerned with plants, I want to reflect on the humble violet, said to have grown out of the blood of Attis after he castrated himself, which became a code flower used by lesbians in the 1920s and onward.

    This time we can take measures to turn down the heat, or at least to stop it from getting worse. We don't need to sit and watch helplessly whilst the fire spreads further. If we would intervene to help the victims of a volcano, why don't we do that with climate change?
