The NHS might be struggling right now, but thank goodness no one in the UK will be asked to pay $807.96 for insulin.
We must never stop fighting to keep it that way.
Alas, plastic waste is everywhere! There's an amazing opportunity for a postdoc to join our team @swanseageog @SUSciEng investigating promising ways of removing nano- & micro-plastics from water on a 3-year @LeverhulmeTrust project. DDL: 25 August 2024:

Three different mines, three different histories, one thing in common - sustained input of metals into rivers. My latest paper is now out in the Journal of Hydrology, looking at #Nantymwyn, #Frongoch and #ParysMountain metal mines:

🚨NEW: Two in three research staff in UK universities are employed on fixed-term contracts
Today's report exposes the widespread use of gig-economy style contracts for the staff who prop up university research departments.
Read the full report here: ucu.org.uk/article/13444/New…
ALT 66% of research staff on insecure contracts

💚🌳Our latest mega-team paper, involving lots of the EU isotope dendro community, came out over the hols. d18O VPD changes in recent centuries show anthropogenic atmospheric drying across an EU tree ring network. Superbly led by @KerstinTreydte 🌳💚 ➡️ nature.com/articles/s41561-0…

After today's High Court ruling that govt and @EnvAgency are acting illegally is this a good time to remind you the SoS for @DefraGovUK is married to an executive at @AnglianWater a WC guilty of 72 environmental permit breaches over the last 10 years?
