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

Beach cleans aren’t just good for the sea – they can boost your mental health and encourage better behaviour https://t.co/veqdXGwrO1

Can't wait for the next @IapsAssociation conference, hosted by the fabulous @EPRG_Surrey team at the @SurreyPsych.

[Kayleigh Wyles @KJWyles]

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

[Kayleigh Wyles @KJWyles]

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

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

Any interested students from @EPRG_Surrey, @_ACCESSnetwork, @MarSocSci, @iapsREN and many others? @SabinePahl @CRJonesPsych @christyhehir @el_ratcliffe

[Kayleigh Wyles @KJWyles]

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)

[Kayleigh Wyles @KJWyles]

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
