Lovely Friday news; our EPSRC Impact Accelerator Account proposal has been successfully funded.
Titled "Ditching Methane to Engineer Net Zero" (yes, it's about ditches), and with @laurabaugh94.bsky.social and @peatblogger.bsky.social also on board. Looking forward to more ditch GHG work in 2026.

Spent the day with the fantastic Marvis setting up an experiment on a bog- never would have imagined I'd be sprinkling fertiliser on a peatland to help them but here we are

This is a longshot... but does anyone know where I can get 10-12 kDa mwco dialysis tubing (preferably one that doesn't come in like 100 feet rolls and cost hundreds of great British pounds?)

A rather damp day sampling Hatch Mere with @peatblogger.bsky.social for the @gleonetwork.bsky.social GasLit project. Five sites sampled (4 x littoral, 1 x pelagic) for greenhouse gases and temp/O2 profiles.

Is academia a great path? Probably not. Can I say that you should choose government or the NGO sector or even tech for a more stable lifestyle? No! Do I have the slightest idea what to advise you to do with your life? No, no I do not.

Another reason to celebrate today. FANTASTIC news for biodiversity in England. Important to recognise when Labour, Defra & @naturalengland.bsky.social do something really hugely positive for nature, both symbolically and in practice. Well done them. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Beaver releases into wild to be allowed in England for first time in centuries

A little summary of an epic fieldwork we did this year on peatlands on Disko Island, #Greenland with @peatblogger.bsky.social & Sambor Czerwiński was published this week in our Życie Uniwersyteckie AMU Magazine. It's in Polish but the photo says it all 😍

Ey-up! Seems as though a significant number of peaty researchers have recently made the move to Bluesky, so I better follow suit. I'm a little hesitant to leave twitter altogether (that's what Elon wants) but its pretty quiet over there now
