🚨 JUST IN: A migratory bird just shattered world records — flying 8,425 miles (13,560 km) NON-STOP across the Pacific without landing once. The bar-tailed godwit doesn’t stop to eat, drink, or sleep during its migration across the Pacific Ocean. Its journey from Alaska to Australia takes roughly 11 days of continuous flight, covering over 13,000 kilometers through storms, headwinds, and open ocean with zero land beneath it the entire time. Before departure, it does something almost surgical to its own body. It shrinks its digestive organs down to almost nothing, converting the stomach, intestines, and liver into raw fuel. The bird essentially eats its own gut to make room for fat reserves that will power its wings for nearly two weeks straight. The brain doesn’t fully sleep either. Half of it stays active while the other half rests, alternating in shifts mid-flight at altitude over the open Pacific. The godwit is simultaneously unconscious and navigating with magnetic field sensitivity that no human instrument in the 18th century could replicate. What makes this genuinely staggering beyond the physical record is the navigational precision involved. The bird leaves Alaska and arrives in New Zealand with accuracy that would embarrass early GPS systems. It reads Earth’s magnetic field, atmospheric pressure gradients, star positions, and potentially quantum-level compass mechanisms inside its eye that literally let it see magnetic field lines overlaid on its visual field. Evolution spent millions of years building an aerospace navigation system inside a 300 gram animal. We spend billions engineering machines that do what this bird does on instinct, fat reserves, and half a sleeping brain. The longest recorded non-stop flight by a commercial aircraft is around 20 hours. This bird does 11 days. Without a runway.

We had a successful engagement with Members of Parliament from Bunyoro region at Kabalega Resort Hotel in Hoima earlier today. We briefed the legislators on the key milestones and progress in establishing a public university in Bunyoro @Educ_SportsUg

Tips for the next Manager at Man U: Changes in system and philosophy should be incremental, first win the Premier league, beat Arsenal, City, Liverpool & Chelsea before insisting on your system, listen to what former Man U players say on TV and learn to use the pronoun "We"

This squad has depth, comradeship, coordination, belief, great manager and tactician and of course super loyal fanbase. This may be the season.

For new PhD students If you are struggling with your first paper, remember that even Nobel Laureates once started with no publications. The key is to persistently strive for improvement while refraining from comparing your setbacks to the achievements of others. @NobelPrize

Mwiri College pledged support, while Ms. Olga from Greening Africa urged Ugandans to take personal responsibility by planting trees in available spaces and promoting the cause.

At the ROOTS Partners' meeting, Dr. Alfred Okidi, PS @min_waterUg highlighted progress in Uganda’s target to plant 40 million trees & ⬆️ forest cover to 24% by 2040. He invited schools, cultural institutions & urban authorities & proposed a national tree planting day.

Forests: The Heart of Sustainable Tourism Uganda’s forests are more than just green cover, they are hubs of ecotourism, biodiversity & cultural heritage! From primate tracking in Budongo to birdwatching in Mabira, our CFRs offer unforgettable experiences while generating jobs.

📆📌 @EmliBwaise invites suitably qualified individuals to consultancy to undertake a study on estimation of emissions and removals in forests from forest deforestation and degradation in Uganda. For more information to apply, click emliuganda.org/eoi-for-consu… @WWFUganda @CCD_UG

It’s possible to beat plastic pollution. The time is now!
