Associate Professor & Researcher in Environmental Psychology. Studies people & the natural (marine) environment. Plastic pollution. Greenspace. Views are my own
Perfect day for a fish🎣 & 🍟 (or vegan alternatives 😉) with some fellow Environmental Psychologists. Lovely way to mark the end of Thais' research visit to @PlymUni. Was lovely to be able to work together again, exploring how citizen science can be used to combat marine litter
Off to the beach this summer holidays? Pick up some exciting artifacts (aka litter) - it not only helps wildlife 🌎, but you benefit from it too. #WinWin. Take a look at this small piece for the Vitamin Sea series from @PlymouthPsych @PlymUni@mcsuk@KeepBritainTidy@sascampaigns
Great talk about how community attachment (to the people but also attachment to local nature) impacts how people manage their waste in Indonesia (do they 🔥 ♻️ 🚮...) during @IAPS2024. Well done @Ana_Voronkova and @PISCESnews WP4 team
@psychmag @Dr_ARBowman @drmanpreetdp@SusannaMarie@R_L_Wheeler Aw nice little reminder. I'm now an Associate Prof in Environmental Psychology @PlymouthPsych, still doing research, teaching & marking. Back in 2013 I felt I was advocating why EnvPsy is needed in understanding environmental issues, now I feel we're being called on more & more
Was such an inspiring day at the #FutureFibresNetworkPlus Townhall event today. Started with how clothing fibres "leak" into the natural world, then the impacts on animals (Inc. marine iguanas & 🦈) then onto innovative solutions on how we can make fashion more sustainable.
@sadhanaj9@el_ratcliffe@BGatersleben You showed great potential and a professional approach, there was no doubt you'd be celebrating in the fancy gown and hat 🎓 well done
💡 Our scientists have carefully read through the revised draft text ahead of the INC-4 meeting in Ottawa.
☝️ Putting our collective expertise together, we developed a response that provides science-based input for negotiators.

Why do we like spending time by the coast? Does everyone have the same experiences? What is it about the environment and wildlife that facilitates these benefits?
If you want to know the answer to these questions, then this @CDT_SuMMeR#PhD is for you: https://t.co/MCVzAQLQS6
#PostDoc opportunity #PlasticPollution
This post will be working with a network to understand what is needed to make the fashion industry more sustainable. Fancy using #SocialScience and to be an evaluation lead to make a difference? See: https://t.co/jra2Anwu3b
deadline 3 Jan
And yes, this was a nice excuse to share some personal holiday snaps of what I like about the coast (the range of activities we can do, the wildlife, the diversity of the environment, and ultimately... I love to take photos of it)
Whilst many scientists are supporting the discussions at the #INC3, this very timely article came out 📰 Such a nice detailed dedicated piece on @ProfRThompson's discovery of microplastics to why its a problem (the impacts) to the solutions of the not-so-far future. @PlymUni
