@ScottBentonMP Do you mean we need more people prepared to take a stand against governments that roll back on their promises to deliver a sustainable economy and future? In that case I agree.
@AmyEcon It’s the biggest problem I face - closely followed by the volume of meetings. As a sign of how bad it is - I have to book “work” days in my diary to get any research done
@Joelscotthalkes This makes no sense. Even if nothing ever ever goes wrong (including the 200,000 year half life of plutonium) this is one of the most expensive ways to generate electricity
Come and work on environmental and resource economics with @ben_d_groom (Dragon Chair) @Leep_Institute@UofEBusiness as a post doc. We have 2 two year positions in biodiversity, climate, or other aspects of the Dragon programme. Apply here: https://t.co/zXKXtri0L9.
You don’t need to know ANYTHING about prawns to apply for this job - I will be supervising this post and only know how to eat prawns. But if you want to be part of really exciting, cutting edge, highly interdisciplinary research- this is for you.
We're hiring for the UK Sustainable King Prawn Project! The ideal researcher will have spatial analysis skills with a wide transdisciplinary focus including economics and programming skills.

Many countries exclude renewable energy projects from being built on certain areas of land (e.g. National Parks, high-quality farmland) to protect the environment & food security.
In this 🧵, I summarise my latest paper looking at the implications of using such exclusions (1/7)
Removal of hedges to make larger fields is but one factor leading to massive biodiversity declines in farmed landscapes. This sequence reveals how this bit of landscape went from about 40 fields to around half that.
Come and join LEEP and get involved in frontier research working with natural, physical, mathematical, economic and social sciences to tackle the challenge of decision making not just for woodland but for all land use. Excellent long term career potential
📢Job Opportunity: Please share
24 month Research Assistant post with us: @_NetZeroPlus. Working on a project to understand the potential of woodland creation and management to contribute to UK net zero.

After the economic nonsense and environmental degradation proposed by Rees-Mogg and Co promoting fracking and curtailing wind and solar power, it’s important to recognise that some in the Conservative Party are promoting sensible policies for cheaper, greener energy
So far, 3⃣2⃣ Conservative MPs have signed the amendment to end the onshore wind ban.
We can lower people's energy bills by building new cheap, clean onshore wind farms where communities agree.
It's time to unlock Britain's wind power potential.
