More on vaccines. I'm going to get boring and geeky on this (no apologies) on the 10 year thing. Vaccines "normally take 10 years". This is being use as a reason to be fearful (ie rushed job). I'm a clinical trials doc. I can tell you most of that time is spent doing...1/n

Interesting piece if visual images help understanding!

This really is excellent infographic work on the risk of infection in different indoor scenarios.

Surely in 2020 waste mismanagement shouldn’t even be a thing? This can and should be avoided ♻️ 🗑 #protectheoceans #closetheplastictap #IUCN #recycle #reuse @IUCN_Med

Amazing to see not 1 but 3 beautiful Red squirrels when visiting Formby nature reserve at the weekend! Only the 2nd time I’ve ever seen them in the wild. Gutted I didn’t have my camera with me 🐿🌳@nationaltrust #conservation #nature #nationaltrust

This is just awful! If you bring stuff with you then you have room to take it away with you!

12 tonnes of rubbish left on Bournemouth beach yesterday. People had even defecated in burger boxes & left on beach. We are creating a pandemic & pollution hell on Earth #Covid19UK #plasticpollution

Unfortunately RP’s are classified as endangered mainly due to habitat destruction 😢 it’s important to think about where our paper products come from- look out for the FSC logo and you can help protect the forests which animals like this live in! #conservation #FSC #protect

[Alice Batts @WildAliceEllen]

Just look at his face😍 Did you know that RP’s can eat up to 20,000 bamboo leaves a day?! They are such low energy animals that they basically just eat, sleep, repeat...not a bad life hey! #wellingtonzoo #redpandanetwork #conservation

@joeeebutt This is insane!

[Alice Batts @WildAliceEllen]

These little ones used to love using us as a vantage point to look out for danger. There is always at least one member of the mob on sentry duty, if they sense danger nearby they’ll make an alarm call which tells the rest of their group to go hide in their sandy burrows! 🌞🏖

[Alice Batts @WildAliceEllen]

So I’ve decided to properly return to twitter and to start myself off again I’m going to do a weekly #throwbackthursday series of my time as a visitor engagement ranger at @wellingtonzoo where I worked this time last year! Prepare for lots of #conservation and #nature talk!🌿1/2
