@flis_holland’s disclosure of abuse in our space industry is horrifying. I could not articulate my reaction as well as Ciara, so please listen to Flis & read on. We all need to help make the study/workplace a safe place to be, especially observing & giving the vulnerable a voice.

[Ciara McGrath @ciara_mcgrathx]

It is absolutely heartbreaking to see something like this from a member of the space community. I applaud Flis for her bravery and candor, and her measured, thoughtful and practical request for actions that could allow good to come from this pain. 1/5

@_Synders @gardenorganicuk You (and I!) could learn a trick or two from your mum, Tom. She’ll be the one to save you in a Zombie Apocalypse! Or at least put 5-a-day on your plate over the summer 😋. It’s all new to us and we’re loving it 🥦🥕🥒🍅!

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

Checking progress of our growing seedlings. Despite delayed arrival of seeds, a small glitch in Teenager#1 watering schedule clashing with sleep, and having to improvise a greenhouse, we have some success! Runner & soy beans😃. Need to finish veg patch quickly! @gardenorganicuk

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

@_Synders @gardenorganicuk Oh I have serious seedling envy!!!

As we start to consider emerging from the “Great Lockdown”, there’s been some time to reflect on what the ‘new normal’ could/should look like. So much excellent work being done behind the headlines. It’s exciting to think that there could be an eventual silver lining #SDGs @UNEP

[Inger Andersen @andersen_inger]

The environmental agenda remains one of our most powerful insurance policies in preventing global pandemics like #COVID19 in the future.

@steveegeorge @UNVolunteers @UN Fantastic news Steve! Always great to hear how data is being transformed into useful information, especially to enable such a worthy cause.

This looks like a legitimate App, developed by Doctors at Kings College, St Thomas’, Guys hospitals....
Help slow the spread of #COVID19 and identify at risk cases sooner by self-reporting your symptoms daily, even if you feel well 🙏🏼. Download the app https://t.co/IdExyZqYgD

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

@drclairelucas How about, for those students w/o a computer, taking it ‘offline’ with vids for teaching, e-mail(to/from phone), pen and paper for diagrams etc? I’m showing my age. It’d be painful for the students too, but could work if expectations on turnaround speed and volume are lowered.

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

@gardenorganicuk @HeritageSeedsUK Feel free! Hopefully more pictures of success to come 🥕🥒🥬🍅🥦🥔🧅🧄💗🐝💗

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

So excited, our first seeds have arrived from @gardenorganicuk @HeritageSeedsUK. No time like the present. Teenager#1 and I have been planning this for years. We still have to finish the raised veggie beds (we live in a Roman Monument, so have to go up!), but have a few weeks 😀

[COL Anne McClain @AstroAnnimal]

Reminder that stress happens when expectations aren’t in line with reality. When we can’t change reality, it’s best to focus on our expectations.

Expect to do things differently.

Expect to need to adapt.

Expect to be out of your comfort zone.

Expect to put others first.

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

Totally!

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

If everyone who is grateful for NHS staff right now followed and retweeted, we would reach a million by midnight.

It will take just two seconds to do, and you can help us share important information that could help save lives.

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

For those of us not directly on the front line, yes surely this is a time to reflect on what world we aspire to live in. One where we respect and connect with humanity & nature, our communities, & future generations? #visioning #systemsthinking #sustainability

[Vivien Cumming @drvivcumming]

This is a time to stop
A time to think
A time to settle
A time to help
A time to trust
A time to be apart
A time to feel a part of something
A time for us to breathe
A time for the planet to breathe
Let’s learn to… https://t.co/uAu11jKGrl

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

Thanks Ines, yes social distancing can bring us closer together! Looking forward to being able to catch up in person when this is all over though 🙂.

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

Family in self-isolation; teenager#1 recovering from ‘symptoms’, while rest of us remote work or study to maintain sense of normality. Amazing efforts by colleagues across Europe, plus neighbours & friends in our village to look after each other and connect as human beings ❤️

[Sophia Lee Roberts @SophiaLRoberts]

Apply to be a @UKSEDS Team Lead! It’s a great opportunity to develop leadership skills and work with some amazing students 💫❤️

[Julia HunterAnderson @blue_space_sust]

Was surfing through full Earth disk satellite data videos to showcase EO. Apart from being totally mesmerising, this one from @eumetsat comes complete with great commentary of global weather (of 2017) by @Dr_MarkH. Wow 🌍❤️ https://t.co/QOCHE1lOcy
