In the UK - women aren't just struggling with the glass ceiling, they're struggling with the 'Class Ceiling'. I recommend this insightful article from 'Content is Queen' https://t.co/gRFTATgSCr

Dirtbag Sound Recordists - https://t.co/Ov7G10l63R I really DON'T like this term. We are skilled artisans who care deeply about the natural world. Let's keep the term away from the wonderful obsession, profession, and pastime of wildlife field recording. #fieldrecording

Forest Bathing is the therapeutic practice of spending time in a forest and imbibing the calming atmosphere to wind down and de-stress. Don't have access to a quiet forest? Try streaming https://t.co/Ciy2wE2G8y which features waves of wind in tall pines. #relax #meditation

@citiesandmemory Natural and calm ambient sounds can help - but not everyone finds music the most helpful : https://t.co/D0xxaadlm1 ... Insight Timer is another great source of relaxing soundscapes e.g. https://t.co/6VB3NgZRYy

I came across this piece in Bustle by Carolyn Steber https://t.co/DDAnhBW1hC - & couldn't agree more. I've found pure, calming natural soundscapes much more effective than any 'relax track'. Check out some of my material - along with a yoga nidra here: https://t.co/wUutc5swnw

Elves are pure myth ... surely? Not if you're Icelandic. Around 50% of Icelanders believe in them or are open to the possibility that they exist, 5% of those surveyed claimed to have seen one. Find out why in this latest episode of Unexplained Podcast https://t.co/f1N287TCJc

Wave Breathing Yoga Nidra https://t.co/cCpvElJY39 is a new spoken guide to a deep relaxation technique - perfect before going to bed, set against the sound of beach waves. #YogaJourney #YogaForWellness #relaxingmusic

https://t.co/bFUsUWfXhN Totally agree with The Guardian here. My home village of #Heysham in #LANCASHIRE has suffered continual 'tidying' of trees & shrubs since the '70s. Get used to nature creating 'a bit of a mess' - that 'mess' is what future human survival depends on.

Soundscape ecology: a disappearing world https://t.co/0ip2DXUxnI - a nice audio article. BUT ... what to do about it? Everything from reducing personal CO2 emissions, consuming less, recycling more to lobbying large multinationals & governments. And dare I say - have fewer kids!

Ringtails - sometimes called 'Ringtail Cats' or 'Miners Cats' are an elusive type of raccoon found in parts of Arizona including the Grand Canyon. Hear more on this week's KNAU's Earth Notes: https://t.co/NPhNGSO1t0 Photo by Blake Hoffman. #wildlife #Arizona #arizonawildcats

Hear what its like to be a chemist who traded the lab bench for scuba gear - diving on ship wrecks all over the world. In this episode of 'Distillations' (https://t.co/dch3YXU46Y) it's award winning! #scuba #scubajunkie #DIVE
