Thank you @HarnLeads and @Scotambservice and all the facilitators, notetakers, table artists and feedbackers at our public engagement workshop yesterday. It was a tremendous collaboration. Agatha (Christie!) our feline assistant has started sorting our notes from the day 😅

@Scotambservice @HarmLeads delighted to help facilitate this research workshop on the use of foil and harm reduction. Fantastic conversations between service providers and colleagues with lived experience.

Packed house today at our public engagement workshop to develop recommendations from our research on foil use and harm reduction. The discussions at our 'talking tables' were phenomenal. To the 50+ who came along from people experiencing homelessness to Scottish Government ...

Hiking through post-military areas and accidentally wandering into more uranium mining spots. Soon dispatched to the border by a very relaxed Diamo employee

Debriefing our yesterday's tracing and dwelling in post-anthropocentric #landscapes ... Thank you @TRACTS_Network and @Sociologicky

[Laura Roe @drroe_laura]

Aaaand so many interesting conversations about coal heritage and family histories of coal mining, that then opened up discussions of of addiction and experiences of drug use

Very lovely to bring some of the exhibition materials out of storage (the cupboard under my stairs) for the @CLEARBuckhaven community garden event today. And great to learn about the wonderful environmental and community work they’re doing in Methil and Buckhaven

Scotland’s wind farms are overwhelmingly owned by companies from other countries, including foreign governments. Unfortunately, it’s likely tomorrow will continue that pattern, which contributes to Scottish communities seeing few jobs or benefits from their natural resources.
