First live experience of the East Anglian Derby today after almost three years of living in Norwich. Already hearing chanting outside the window- come on you yellows!
Looking through job adverts for post-PhD jobs and came across a “non-stipendiary research fellowship” at Oxford University.
In 2024, how is this acceptable that you are advertising jobs that require a PhD - but do not pay a salary? Academia is really an elites games, isn’t it?
Had a lovely time yesterday in the @NorwichSciFest sharing with the general public my work on decolonial fire research.Congratulations to the organisers. Such a wonderful initiative to connect science with society

I've been reading Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry for the Future and just finished the chapter where catastrophic flooding hits California - it's not climate fiction when it's happening in real life

@Mark_J_Harper@Conservatives Didn't realise the government had been at war with motorists... Thought the government has been more at war with nurses, teachers, public defenders, doctors, train staff and any other public profession
So, today Civitas has published a great new report, publishing the "realisistic" costs of Net Zero. Apparently, it’s a whopping £4.5 trillion, or £6,000/home/year.
Wow. However, how do these numbers stack up?
(tl;dr: no. but stick around for the 🧵, because it's fun). 1/12
@HumanNatureArt@BBCBreaking Thank you - climate and environmental communications needs a rethink so it's part of a wider response framework. As you've pointed out it's just lazy journalism
About Sunday Night... listening to and learning from the incomparable @NaomiAKlein at @southbankcentre, with exerpts read from her new book - Doppelganger.
For all the people wondering why someone worth £700 million and married to the daughter of one of the richest men in the world took a job for under £170k, it turns out the answer is a couple of billion in contracts for the in-laws and saving £300,000,000+ in Inheritance Tax.
Today, I'm taking executive action to launch the American Climate Corps – a workforce initiative that will train over 20,000 young people for good-paying jobs in the clean energy and climate resilience economy.

Vivek Ramaswamy founded an investment fund dedicated to drilling as much oil as humanly profitable and discouraging oil companies from reducing emissions.
The fund is literally called DRLL.
I teamed up with @nowthisnews to let more people know about it
Great to see @DavidPocock taking a stance on @TotalEnergies sponsorship of RWC @France2023. It's 2023- as they say themselves, if you are only now investing more on green energy than NEW hydrocarbon projects, then we have a big problem.

Petition for supermarkets to start positioning baskets in different parts of the store for all the stubborn people who just 'popped in for one thing' and now have armloads of groceries.
