Stern & grumpy is something I'm usually very (too) good at. This time it was really hard to pull off though!
Climate scientists are tearing their hair out, so why are millions not in the streets demanding #ClimateActionNow?

Something else I didn’t foresee in my fieldwork risk assessment; being trapped in my room for the best part of a day because of swarming bees!! 🐝 🐝🐝😂
An unforeseen problem of remote tropical fieldwork; waking up to find gecko poo all over the last clean outfit for an important meeting that morning.
A little ad in an 1893 diary to attract new farming enterprises to the colonies of Victoria and South Australia: “The Fruit Garden of the Universe”

Ecological tipping points could occur much sooner than expected, study finds theguardian.com/environment/…
This fish fin was tucked into a sailors diary, of an 1891 trading voyage to the Solomon Islands. I’ve found lots of (uncatalogued) artefacts in various archives, but I think this is my favourite @statelibrarynsw @sheffieldgeog
Lw @sheffieldgeog @LeverhulmeTrust held a workshop @RGS_IBG on climate #adaptation with @ilo @GCAdaptation @CDWSheffield @UCLIRDR @uclspp @cambridgelaw to ask how to define the spectrum of adaptation labour, much of which falls outside the definition of #decentwork?
