Many congratulations! Adding it to my 2026 reading list 😊
Most wonderful antidote to doom scrolling reading here about Back on the Map's community work in Sunderland 👏👏 What a model to follow
So grim. '"At what level of pollution will there be some threshold?” Bullard said'. You think of a Warren County civil rights/environmental justice uprising but in current times how feasible is that I wonder

Happy dog (if not owners!). Not sure about the mud but I even enjoyed the funny muted wintry bleakness today!
I can't make it but will sign up for the recording. So excited about this having been worrying about record poor harvests and how our farmers manage going forward. An amazing breakthrough🙏

This is such a good story of how random interaction can lead to potentially huge impact from new science
It’s on one of the major frontiers of science- understanding the soil that grows pretty much all our food

Pass Jeff the catnip. He's reached that stage of the evening. Honestly, he's just obsessed. Come on Jeff, give us The Entertainer!
Breakfast at Tiffanys with Audrey Hepburn in a neat trenchcoat
I understand! I thought I had an Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's vibe in my trenchcoat but my partner said I looked like his granddad
Participants in a recent Cumbria Climate Assembly (northwest England) are calling for a permanent body & have been in touch with the Belgian model. Delighted to see them referenced in new govt paper on energy and public participation 😊
It's a Fir v Fur standoff. Great to see you here again!
The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."
There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢
Stunning! ❤️ Sharing for those also needing a beautiful musical interlude from pretty much everything else!
Wow, wow, wow! What a panacea! Thank you for the reminder among all the doomscrolling of the possibility of experiences like this!

Having just been through something similar at Newcastle University, full solidarity to colleagues at Lancaster.
Over 400 jobs at risk, with all the wider reverberations cuts at that scale will involve.

Again, why critical thinking skills are crucial in education. If people are bombarded with a constant stream of algorithmically selected content that engages them emotionally and we aren't equipping them with critical thinking skills from an early age then things like this are the inevitable outcome
Many ecologists seem to be rallying to the politically-led aligning of nature recovery with economic growth
But with only vague notions about nature’s economic role
Degrowth is what is needed from the rich nations - to really allow nature to recover

The Trump administration is set to incinerate nearly 500 tonnes of emergency food, enough to feed 1.5 million children for a week. Despite repeated requests from USAID staff to distribute the food intended for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, they did not receive approval.
I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social

🧵 Just finished reading Upgrading Democracy by @pollycurtis.bsky.social at @demos-uk.bsky.social .
It’s a sharp, hopeful intervention in the face of democratic breakdown, and it aligns in profound ways with the epistemic collapse I’ve been tracking in my own work.
