"Here at the British Maths Colloquium we're showcasing technologies that can revolutionise our learning and future careers"
Prof @gihanmarasingha, from the @UniofExeter, gives his thoughts on the British Mathematical Colloquium, currently taking place on our Streatham Campus.
The Global Tipping Points Conference, part of next week's #ExeterClimateForum, is mentioned in @guardian.⤵️
The conference is a ‘call to action’ to research, policymakers and business to improve understanding of tipping points and accelerate action.

Second year Maths PhD student Charlie Wilson gives his thoughts and reflections on the British Mathematical Colloquium and British Applied Mathematics Colloquium, held at @UniofExeter this week.
The research shows that wild geese are a useful benchmark for evaluating the behaviour of geese under human care. It also supports the use of time-activity budgets as practical tools for evidence-based husbandry.

But high inactivity rates among the captive geese highlights the need for further enrichment, and dynamic enclosure management to further improve goose behavioural diversity. 5/6
Negative ‘abnormal’ behaviours were very minimal in captive geese, suggesting management supports good welfare, while the birds still expressed healthy, goal-seeking behaviours such as grazing – which points to an enriched captive environment. 4/6
Wild geese were more alert to their immediate surroundings, more often scanning their environment for predators, and also spend more time on preening, bathing and other maintenance behaviours. 3/6
The researchers led by Dr Paul Rose @uniofexeter found that captive geese rest more and socialise less than their wild counterparts, although their behaviour was species-typical. 2/6
How do the behaviours of captive geese differ from those of wild ones? Researchers @CrabExeter looked at the ‘time activity budgets’ of six goose species over 220 hours at two @WWTworldwide centres. 🧵 1/6
The #ExeterClimateForum will give voice to scientists whose work drives our understanding of the planet's changing systems.
Events include the Exeter Climate Conference, the Global Tipping Points Conference, plus meetings and events for universities, policymakers and business.
Our climate experts will be at this year's @glastonbury Festival, with Professor @richardabetts and @LaurieLaybourn appearing at the Speakers' Forum in the Green Fields area.

We're counting down to the #ExeterClimateForum, a week of activities that will bring together #climate researchers, businesses, policymakers and young people to shape and engage with the priorities for #COP30 and beyond.

The 3rd Diversity and Human Capital Workshop is underway at @UofEBusiness and what better way to start than with a Nobel Prize winning economist?
Prof Josh Angrist (@metrics52) of @MIT gave a fascinating keynote on how advising affects students' post PhD research productivity.
Cornwall’s businesses and organisations can now invest in environmental improvements across the county through a new ‘nature market’, which utilises the expertise of @UofEBusiness academics.
