This is what it looks like when a company really gets the climate crisis. And when they talk about their carbon they are including all upstream scope 3 - which they are also cutting hard. And when they say ‘plant trees’ they also mean beautiful biodiversity.

These quail chicks had been incubating in the Ri for 17 days and started hatching the night before we filmed and they were SO DARN CUTE #xmaslectures

As someone who lives with #CysticFibrosis, discussion on gene therapy for the 3rd @Ri_Science #xmaslectures from @aoifemcl and @theAliceRoberts was incredibly interesting. We’re so proud to have helped bring the series to life. https://t.co/7oE77RemT8
