No Times today, and no Sun: no Murdoch trash.
No Telegraph either; we blockaded them too, for their continuing lies & distortions on climate (and Covid).
We are #extinctionrebellion. For one day, let’s #freethetruth.
And get the oligarchs to get it: #tellthetruth!

Happy 221st birthday to Mary Anning! World famous for her remarkable fossil finds on the Jurassic Coast 🦕🐚
Here’s a little pyritised ammonite we found last year in Lyme Regis to celebrate.

I want to share with you the astonishing thing I've just read.
During the Devonian period, plants grew no more than around 6ft high. But mushrooms grew to 20 feet.
I'm now picturing a mushroom forest with an understorey of plants.
If you painted it, they'd call you a druggie.

Today I said goodbye to my brilliant A level geologists and geographers for the foreseeable future. The learning they have done over the last 18 months is more than just a grade. Best of luck to you all :-) @NelsonColneColl @OCR_Science @PearsonEdexcel #geology #geography

It’s the last day of this half term so we’re playing with sand today in geology class to model folding and faulting #thinkgeology #geology #earthscience #mountainbuilding

@JoConwayGeology It’s faultless ..... no wait....

Buildings can be designed to withstand #earthquakes, so why doesn’t the U.S follow #Japan's example and build more of them? #Buildings that use base isolation are more likely to survive a strong #earthquake and be functional afterward @nytimes ➡️ https://t.co/ghPzbnrpJZ

Nice dry January day for a trip to Ingleton for first year geologists to get to grips with mapping, sketching and observing an unconformity. Students can just about be seen here sheltering by the basal conglomerate. #fieldwork #geology @NelsonColneColl @OCR_Science

The Darcy tubes worked well today to calculate permeability of different sediments. To my slight surprise, students found this practical really engaging, staying after lesson to collect data. #geology #alevel #ocrgeology #hydrogeology

[Nelson & Colne College @NelsonColneColl]

Today we held General Election hustings at College, with candidates from the Conservative Party, Green Party, Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats taking part. Our students, some of whom are first time voters, were keen to hear the case of each party ahead of Thursday's vote!

Thanks Graham for an engaging talk for our students about possible career paths with geology @SEELeeds @UniversityLeeds #geology #earthscience #ClimateEmergency

Confronted with the reality of what we're eating, suddenly we can't face it.

Superb day spent with @LivUniEarthSci on a microscopy masterclass for #Alevelgeology - excellent feedback from students #thinkgeology @ESTA_UK @NelsonColneColl @livuni

This is utter genius, and anyone who does not watch it will be deported to our re-education camps on the Isle of Wight.

My brilliant students this week at open evening. We were very busy and these guys did themselves proud @NelsonColneColl #thinkgeology #alevelgeography

[@MattsGeolGeog @NelsonGeo2]

some extra reading for my A level #geologists https://t.co/jNwI5Jrmod

[@MattsGeolGeog @NelsonGeo2]

Over the moon for my geography students who collected results yesterday, lots of fantastic achievements and hard work paying off. Good luck for your next steps wherever they take you #alevelresults2019 #alevelgeography #edexcelgeography #geographyteacher

@NelsonColneColl @park_high_colne @UniversityLeeds All the best for the future Joe
