It was an honour to have Mr Nick Low, British Deputy High Commissioner to Kolkata, launch @livingdeltas knowledge briefs from Indian Sundarban on
1. importance of systematic #waterqualitymonitoring
2. #minibuoys for hydrodynamic surveys for embankment health @UKinKolkata

[Nick Low @NickDLow]

Privilege to work with our brilliant colleagues from @JUFET and @UniofNewcastle. @AndyNcl @palaeoisotopes

There’s too much superficial worshipping of David Attenborough and not enough focus on what he is saying. He’s warning our lives are in danger! The future is not what most people think it is. We all have to peacefully rise up and protest and demand systemic global action

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Countless of people are having to flee because of the climate crisis. The time to act is now. We need to get informed, speak up on climate justice and migrant justice, and support vital organizations like @UNmigration #ClimateMigration

If one single British child went missing anywhere in the world 🇬🇧 government and media would go into meltdown and expect the world to care too. Dozens of kids have gone missing in 🇬🇧 but bedside they’re foreign and seeking asylum neither govt nor media seems to give a toss 1/2

Planned Mekong World Heritage site would play key role in protecting planet’s biodiversity -inc. 95 deep pools providing refuge for migrating fish, spawning habitat for critically endangered Irrawaddy dolphins, giant stingrays & giant catfish @marcgoichot https://t.co/vurNaWJZuB

@tanita_tikaram Have moved @BBCNews app back several screens on phone so I don't see it and need to search it out to read articles. Sick of unbalanced (nicest term I could think of) coverage - particularly since 2016 (start of #Brexit debacle) and amplified by #Tory scandals, all underreported.

[Clean Up Britain @cleanupbritain]

MASSIVE AMOUNTS of litter on the A694, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. What happened to proud Geordies? @NewcastleCC HAVE YOU EVER SEEN WORSE LITTERING THAN THIS...? @OnBBCNewcastle

I'm an academic and not working during the holidays (despite January looking crazy busy). Still far too many people on Twitter making out like this is a controversial choice. Academia might be a job we love, but it is still a job. Today I'll be doing a jigsaw and drinking tea! ☕

[Andy Large @AndyNcl]

🤣 maybe because the country appears to be going down it? 🤔😪

[The Jase 🐶 🎸 🎥 @jasemonkey]

Why is Rishi Sunak delivering a video message on the toilet?

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Project fear was tame compared to this…

Details of Govt’s retained EU law bill are coming to light

And it’s dystopian

The Bill sets a default that will ‘turn off’ employment rights covering…

- Holiday pay

- Equal pay for women

- Agency, part-time & fixed term workers…

[Freddie @FreddieBailey96]

Brexit Freedom Bill which comes into affect in 1 year and 3 days time, it removes the right to paid holidays, maternity leave and sick pay.

The Tories didn’t stick that on the side of a bus.

[Dai YAMAZAKI / 山崎 大 @BigAsMountain]

Confirmed that we got the first ever data from SWOT! Start of the new era for hydrology!

[Mohaiminul Islam Zipat @Zipat_YN]

A huge congratulations to @SaleemulHuq on being named one of Nature’s Ten people who helped shape science in 2022! Dr Huq was one of the instrumental players behind the agreement for a new loss & damage fund at COP27.
