Survey for academics with Energy Limiting Conditions as part of my @_ISRF research on exhaustion, burnout and ableism in UK academia: https://t.co/1XGnqf9SCq Open to people still working in academia and who have left. Please share. More project info here: https://t.co/CE3KTXN7oN

Loved working with @WillBaxter again to create this visual for my current research project.

6/6

1) Denying CC makes you out to be an idiot, troll or paid disinformation employee.

2) SST's are heating up incredibly fast at this moment, with the full impact yet to be known.

3) We are totally f&%ked.

The more we chop off the proposed route the more we reduce the returns on investing in this rail infrastructure. The ration of black to pink/red on this map is very disappointing.

Interesting HS2 map in today’s Telegraph. Note the clothing-derived station at the southern end.

@sarahvgreenham @GeorgeMonbiot In response to your main thread. Look at education research. Curricula analysis for national school curricula and skills gaps in industry compared with life skills or happiness. Consider UN SDG alignment. I expect this may be interesting reading to you. 2/2

[Dr Rachel Fisher @RailwayRachel]

@sarahvgreenham @GeorgeMonbiot Thanks Sarah. George this is a thought provoking thread. I look at higher ed and enviro/sustainability and climate change. Currently CC is not "required" in engineering curricula and sustainability needs much improvement. Please DM me if you want to know more. 1/2

Recent publishing of #theclimatebook by @GretaThunberg has made me think about other wonderful reads on #climatechange
Tell me about your favourite reads? I'll go first...
Rain by @EyeDotter
Explores a very human story and the devastating floods in the North in 2015

I'm currently in the process of getting my first academic paper published. Hoping that round 3 of revisions is the last one 😅

Excited to share that I've successfully been awarded a @NERC Knowledge Exchange Fellowship. I'll be working at the @unibirmingham on "Delivering an adaptation knowledge pipeline". I'll be posting regular updates about my work here and on LinkedIn

London opens another line, meanwhile in Birmingham…

[I Choose Birmingham @ichoosemag]

Spaghetti Junction. Already drunk on its birthday. Embarrassing.

[Climate Reality @ClimateReality]

"Most people who died in the floods lived in informal settlements, so again we are seeing how climate change disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable people."

I expect they met to discuss the challenge of overcoming the Lickey incline (which still causes issues to this day) without any nasty surprises...

[Clive Roberts @CliveRobertsUni]

It was great to attend the plaque unveiling to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the @mechengineers at Bromsgrove Station. It was here that local engineers first met to discuss railway engineering, that led to the formation of the institute @SchoolofEng_UoB @bcrre @eps_unibham
