Inspired by this fresh perspective. Thanks @wanderinggaia.bsky.social for showcasing the best of migration, albeit often driven by the brutality of climate change. Loved your BBC Radical podcast with #AmolRajan: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Thanks to #BearingFruit for the invitation to speak at the #SidmouthScienceFestival. Programme also included #MyOctopusTeacher screening and #TomMustill's "How to be a Whale". Heartening discussions on the legacy of #DrJaneGoodall and the importance of sharing #OceanOptimism to inspire #ActiveHope

Delighted to welcome our Y1 undergrads to the Uni of Bristol School of Biological Sciences. On retreat this week they forged new friendships over 22 activities, incl. pond dipping, woodland surveys, bat walks, and a mega Life’sABeach / Marine Conservation Society beachclean, removing 57kg of litter!
