RIP #JaneGoodall - one of the modern pioneers of profound interconnections between people, animals and ecosystems. Her life was lived through science, compassion and tireless advocacy for the multiple values of nature - leaving a legacy that will endure for people and planet.

The reason I love my job - I get to work with all these wonderful people! Start of a new year, with new and old members of the Transdisciplinary Centre for Nature and People (TCNP) at the @ic-cep.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @imperialsci.bsky.social

New year, new set of @ic-cep.bsky.social @imperialsci.bsky.social MSc in Environmental Technology students tackling the bridge building exercise!

Great being part of this team - I learnt so much and the open and collaborative nature of how the paper was developed was a really great way to do science! And on that note, we really welcome constructive comments during the open review of the preprint - see the link below!
