Done a survey for your local river yet? @theriverstrust.bsky.social are encouraging everybody to do so in the next few weeks. If you were @greenmanfest.bsky.social in August in Einstein's garden @cardiffuniversity.bsky.social researchers were telling you why you should!

Really enjoyed #Monogram2025 and being the #conferencepoet!

IBERS - Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Science @ibers.bsky.social · Apr 15

In addition to the excellent presentations, posters, and discussions at #Monogram2025, we were lucky to have a conference poet capturing the spirit of the event.

@claredonnison.bsky.social is a West Wales based poet writing about Science, Maths, Birds and the news, to amuse herself and her friends.

Really enjoyed being #conferencepoet at #Monogram2025 @ibers.bsky.social yesterday. Lots of inspiration from the speakers as they develop #resilientcrops with the help of dragons (and Dolly Parton)

Think you are suffering from #Egyptomania? Perhaps you can find a cure on the #NHS website #HealthAtoZ? Or alternatively just visit #BlicklingHall in the care of the @nationaltrust.bsky.social
