Since undergoing treatment from Tulsa Zoo’s resident vet Dr Kay Backues, Amali has been kept in medical quarantine since her arrival on October 18.

This is a great social media campaign based around twitter – and a simple but effective concept that also (shock horror) appears an effective way to teach about history in an engaging way.

The Scott Polar Research Institute have turned Scott’s diaries from over 99 years ago into tweets. His diary being recreated through twitter until the 29th March 2011 – the day after he died in the antartic.

And I thought the Lego architecture series was exciting – loving the thought of this Lego and Muji tie up. It has a very ‘unique’ feel about it but the packaging looks great – via UO.
