Had a great week attending the @teagasc Catchment Science conference in Wexford. Decided to extend my trip and take the conference backpack on a wee tour of Kerry #CS2023

@ResearchFiona Awe fun! 🐴

the only "tourist" destination I asked to visit in London was the place where they used spatial mapping to figure out that cholera is a waterborne illness. The pub is a good shout too, and helps reduce the amount of teasing you otherwise receive for wanting to visit the pump...

@caitrinpilk @CBCNorth @CabinRadio Congrats Caitrin! The Yukon lucked out big time

@wgagnon *you’re

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

@wgagnon Could be wrong but I think any geostationary satellites covering the area would give pretty poor spatial resolution for the kind of info your looking for

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

@CabinRadio Hey @CRTCeng with thousands of people, >50% of the NWT, evacuating from wildfires, would’ve been really good to have Cabin Radio updates on the airwaves when the evacuation routes are out of cell coverage and fires are taking out fibre optic lines

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

@StirUni not sure who to contact about this, but FYI there’s a low hanging electricity cable, approx 5ft above the ground, on the Public Path at north side of the uni. Just west of old Logie Kirk. GPS coord in the pic, or what3words outsmart.rate.flats

@caitrinpilk Your reporting is always so thoroughly researched and well written! 🙏🏻

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

@ResearchFiona It’s where function meets fashion - what’s not to love??

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

Got out to visit my PhD study site along the #RiverAlmond. Looking forward to getting started on improving #waterquality monitoring

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

@Becky_Maps I did a 2-day Software Carpentry workshop recently, and got a lot out of it! The workshops are generally offered for free by different groups around the world and so would be worth a search to see if there’s one online or in BC for you!

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

@CabinRadio Rooting for you!

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

Would recommend “Essential Scientific Computing for Environmental Scientists” for anyone wanting to learn more about shell, git & python! I feel like I’ve become this emoji 👩🏻‍💻 @EPCCed @EdinburghUni @swcarpentry

@Tesco I see we have a difference of opinion on what plastic is unnecessary. From this conversation, I’ve been inspired to sign up for a local, waste-free vegetable box from @LocavoreCIC. Cheers!

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

Grocery shopping in Scotland:
Can someone please explain to me why seemingly all of the fresh produce comes in plastic packaging?
Feels unnecessary & wasteful … looking at you @Tesco

[Bridget Rusk @waterscientist]

@Tesco Again, happy to hear of the initiatives you’re taking, but per my original question: are the plastic wrappings on things like bananas, potatoes, onions, broccoli, leeks, etc all here to stay?
